Seniors Interest
In University
High: Fogdall
. -*r'"
“The interest shown by high
school seniors in attending the Uni
versity is very high,” stated' Vergil
S. Fogdall, director of men’s affairs,
upon returning from a four-day
tour of several Oregon high schools.
Fogdall, together with represen
tatives from Oregon State College,
Oregon College of Education at
j Monmouth, Vanport College in Port
land, and the Oregon Technical
Institute in Klamath Falls, spoke to
students on the State System of
Higher Education institutions last
Monday through Thursday.
Building Create Interest
He found interest especially high
in the University’s new buildings,
with the girls quite enthusiastic
over Carson Hall. Much enthusiasm
was also shown for the new Stu
dent Union.
Fogdall borrowed architectural
drawings of the University’s build
ing program from the President's
Office and showed these, as wel las
photographic bureau photos of cam
pus life, to the high schoolers.
Students Ambassadors
Although these visitations by
college and university officials help
to promote good relations with high
school students, Fogdall empha
sized that students who come from
the particular communities are the
real “ambasadors of good will.”

Student Court Plans
Parking Inquiry
Plans to investigate the city's
action in putting up parking meters
along Kincaid between 12th and
13 th and along 11th between Alder
and Hilyard are being formulated
by the student court, Chairman
Dick Neely announced Tuesday
night .
The city’s decision, which will
affect students parking along the
edge of the campus and in front of
three living organizations, was
made without consulting either the
University Administration or tfie
students, Neely said.
Cars parked on campus lawns
will be towed off and the owners
required to pay towing charges in
the future, the chairman stated
after the court’s regular Tuesday
evening session.
The cases of townspeople who
violate University traffic ordinan
ces will henceforth be turned over
to the district court, Neely stated.
This will include the cases of the
three local judges who were issued
University parking tickets for park
ing in the driveway by Johnson
Hall, the chairman pointed out.
The judges were on the campus
to judge the Law School moot trials.
A total of $4 in fines was received
by the court Tuesday night. Two
students appeared to plead their
cases and two posted bail in the Of
fice of Student Affairs.
Student court files now list 2028
student cars.

Today's Students
Fail to Grasp
Symbols: Gilkey
By CAROL JONES
Illustrating “Contemporary Re
ligious Illiteracy," the theme of the
third in the series of Religious
Evaluation Week speeches. Dr.
Charles W. Gilkey pointed out that
the American student today cannot
grasp the symbols of religion.
His understanding and learning
are based on fact, and he cannot
evaluate the parables of the Bible
and apply their morals to his own
life.
Story to Illustrate
"It is too bad,” explained Dr.
Gilkey, “that scholars debate about
the possibilities of talking animals
when someone alludes to the re
ligious fable about Jonah and the
whale. The story is designed to
illustrate a great moral or material
truth, and today’s generation tends
to accept it literally and thus ques
tion its validity.”
The American sense of symbol
quality is no longer functioning,
and Americans miss the points of
a great many religious tracts ,ofr
in both the Old and the New Test
ament, the works and ways and
characteristics of God are pre
sented in terms of symbols.
Think in Symbols
These symbols, or word pictures,
are derived directly from the
languages and minds of the Orien
tal peoples of the Near East who
think so much in terms of symbol
representation, in contrast to Oc
cidental literalism. Our language
is insensitive and inactive in the
much larger and important mat
ters and religion goes beyond our
literalism, he said.
“This creates a problem for those
preaching today to the American
student,” contends Dr. Gilkey,
“who knows only the language of
the laboratory or dormitory.
