CAESAR AND CHRIST
'Kingdoms of This World' Discussed
The true world issue today
is between Caesar and Christ,
the Very Rev. Georges Florov
sky said in a Religious Eval
uation week speech Tuesday
morning, not between the East
and the West, or capitalism
and communism, or totalitar
ianism and democracy.
Speaking on “The Kremlin and
the Eastern Church," Dr. Florov
sky pointed out that the Russian
church has freedom to conduct
public worship, but no evangeli
cal freedom. He stressed that since
Communist dogma believes that
religion is the “opiate of the
masses," the Russian church will
never be allowed to become strong
and is even now in a precarious
position.
The Right Direction
“Democracy is not perfect to
day, but I believe we are moving
in the right direction,” the Rev.
Harry C. Meserve told his aud
ience in the afternoon. Once we
realize that the brotherhood of
man is true, Mr. Meserve said,
and that discrimination and prej
udice result from a failure to ad
just to this realism, then mankind
can build upon available skills
and techniques to learn to live
together.
Centering his discussion on “Re
ligious Foundations of Democ
racy’’ Mr. Meserve maintained
that the original separation of
church and state in this country
resulted from the impossibility of
choosing a state religion from
those represented at the forma
tive meetings of our government.
A. state supported church, he said,
is the best way for any religion
to ultimately lose its freedom.
Church and State
The problem of separation of
church and state was called a po
litical question by the Rev. Mat
thias Burger who represented the
Roman Catholic church. For this
reason the problem varies widely
Educational Systems
Compared by Gossard
“We experienced only the finest
co-opei-ation, friendliness, and a
great desire to build a democratic
society and to educationally catch
up with the rest of the world,” Hal
C. Gossard told a small audience
in 123 Science Tuesday.
Gossard, director of an educa
tional program in southern Ger
many for the state department,
spoke on “Educational Reforms in
Germany.”
The European school is set up
for the purpose of gaining knowl
edge and specializing in one par
ticular field in contrast to the
American educational system
which stresses a broad liberal edu
cation, he said.
Community forums and. work
shops were the methods utilized by
the state department to instigate
basic educational psychology into
Registrar Holds
Unsigned Cards
Dropped a course recently? If
you have, maybe you haven’t. At
least for five students that is the
‘case because they turned in course
drop cards to the registrar without
'signing their names to them.
If you think you forgot to sign
your drop card or even if you are
sure you did, check the posted
cards on the bulletin board in Em
erald hall. Yours might be there*
the German school system, Gossard
said. The commission had to or
ganize the schools from the ground
floor following Allied occupation
at the close of the World War II,
he said. The job is now organized
but far from complete.
Call for Blood
By Red Cross
With a January quota of 375
pints of blood for the Eugene area,
150 pints are needed to fulfill the
number, according to Mrs. J. H.
Jackson, chairman of the Eugene
drive.
Students and faculty can make
appointments by contacting the
Red Cross office, 4-5244. The Red
Cross bloodmobile will be in down
town Eugene at 16th and Willam
ette to collect blood for wounded
soldiers in Korea.
Students who signed up during
the October drive, and who have
not been contacted, are urged to
re-declare their intent to donate.
According to Mrs. Jackson,
vacancies occur primarily between
noon and 3:30 p.m. on Thursdays.
Persons who can fill these ap
pointments should contact the Red
Cross office as soon as possible,
Mrs. Jackson said.

tures and different eras.
In the United States, said Fath
er Burger, the question seems to
present no great problem. In this
country the church is distinct
from the government, yet co-op

Miss Tate urged students to

She also said students should buy
tickets for the luncheon, now on
sale at the main desk of the Stu
dent Union at $1.25 per plate.
Cars will meet the dads who ar
rive by train Friday night and Sat
urday morning and bring them to
the campus, Miss Tate said. Many
campus buildings will be open for
inspection Saturday, and this will
be a good opportunity for students
to show their dads the campus, she
stated.
Students are also urged to get
their tickets for the Saturday bas
ketball game now, Jim Light,
chairman of trophies and special
events, said. General admission
tickets at $1.20 will allow the dads
to sit with their sons or daughters
downstairs, in the special section
upstairs or in any general admis
sion seat, Light added. Reserved
seat tickets at $1.80 may also be
purchased.
Dads wearing their registration
tags will be admitted to the main
floor seating area, or in the plan
ned dads’ section of the general
admission area of the balcony. Stu
dents may sit in this section with
their dads, if they have their stu
dent body cards, Light said.
Friday at 5 p.m. is the deadline
for submitting pictures of hostess
candidates, John Gamiles, general
chairman of Dad’s Day, stressed.
Married women, either students or
wives of students, may enter the
competition. Pictures, at least 3 by
5 inches, should be placed in an
envelope or folder and turned in to
SU 303 (special events room) or
to Don Almy at Theta Chi.
oration characterizes their rela
tionships. Catholics, for the most
part, he added, would have it no
other way.
Founding Fathers
Rabbi L. Elliott Grafman, speak
ing- on "Judaism and the Political
Order," stressed the relation of
the Old Testament to the concepts,
ideas, and actions of our founding
fathers.
Another point developed by Rab
bi Grafman in his talk was the
persecution of Jews by the Crim
munists. 'Anti-Semitism is pun
ishable by death according to the
Russian constitution, but it still
exists,” he said.
The danger of Germany to the
world today is not in the people
but in the authoritative pattern,
said Hal Gossard, who spoke on
"A Spiritual Interpretation of
Germany” Tuesday morning in
the Dad’s lounge.
For over 1000 years the Ger
mans have been very conscious
of authority and they easily ac
cept the leadership of someone
with a popular cause, Gossard
pointed out. He added that the
modern German has little concep
tion of democracy.
Gossard held out hope for "one
world” because of his belief that
the average man and woman ev
erywhere is the same and has the
same fundamental desire for
peace.
These five speeches, were part
of the program of the second day
of Religious Evaluation week.
Ge n e r a 1 topic of Tuesday’s
speeches was “The Kingdom df
This World.”
