Religions compared in RE Week kickoff By GAYLE CHARLES Emerald Staff Writer The 22nd annual University Religious Evaluation Week began Sunday night as 160 people gath ered at Burke Hall on the North west Christian College campus for the kickoff banquet. REVEREND KINGBLRY of the Wesley koundation gave the opening invocation and master of ceremonies Marvin Webster in troduced committees, faculty members and four of the five men scheduled to speak throughout the w'eek. Eollowing dinner. Rabbi Marcus Simmons of Temple Beth-Israel in Eugene spoke to approximately 200 (only 60 were students! in the Ballroom of the SU on "W’ho Shall Evaluate the Evaluators?” SIMMONS STATED that both Jews and Christians have high standards of morality, but that where one standard has as its source the imitation of Jesus, the other has the imitation of God. He referred often to two men he felt had a great impact on mankind Dante and Einstein. In discussing the present world situation, he stated, "One of these men described an inferno; the other one gave us the formula for making it.” He then struck out against the use of modern-day science by calling attention to the paper Einstein later wrote condemning the use of his theories ! in the construction of the H-Bomb. He astounded his audi ence by stating that the Hebrews called guided missiles the "astrol ogy of the gentiles.” THE SOLUTION to this con temporary problem he feels can be found in the philosophy of Henri Bergson. Bergson’s dual idea of morality—the kindness in man-to-man relations and the "highway robbery” of nation-to nation dealings, is a trouble spot. "One type of morality is God’s idea," he stated strongly, "and the type for men is the type for nations." He believes that no man can be truly objective in his study of comparative religions. He cau tioned his audience to search for the truth,-—“truth that will make you free from prejudice, for prejudice destroys religion.” HE PRAISED kindness, good ness and scholarly interest in the search for truth. Commenting on Christian attitudes, he said, “Do not let us deceive ourselves. Even to forgive our enemies is a phe nomenon seen all over the world. But Christianity has made a mo nopoly publicizing the fact that Christ-like men are good, and stating that men are little less than angels.” Simmons will be present today in the Dad's Lounge of the Stu dent Union to discuss his speech in a coffee hour forum at 4 p.m. Tickets on sale for Kenton show Stan Kenton, supported by a new 18-piece orchestra, will ap pear at 8 p.m. Feb. 3 in Mc Arthur Court.

PiKA fire causes extensive damage ine Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house suffered extensive fire damage Saturday as it became the fourth mens’ house to be damaged by fire since the summer of 19.19. ESTIMATED at $10,000, the fire was confined to the attic and to two second floor rooms. The battalion fire chief of the Eugene fire department said the fire might have been caused by a cigarette. Donald Foster, fraternity treas urer, and Rodney McKay were in the downstairs living room when the fire broke out at about 2:15 Duck Preview rules explained A meeting was held to discuss the Duck Preview’ rules and their seriousness Thursday in the Greater Oregon office. PRESENT AT THE meeting were Greater Oregon officers; F. B. Nickerson, executive secre tary of High School-College Re lations; W. L. Thompson, direc tor of Public Service; and living organization representatives. At the meeting Duck Preview rules and a schedule of events were handed out to the repre sentatives. BOTH THOMPSON and Nick erson talked to the representa tives and explained why the rules had been set up, according’ to John Packham. Greater Oregon chairman. The main emphasis of Duck Preview is to give the high school students an opportunity to become familiar with the aca- i demic part of the University. Thompson and Nickerson said that the houses are playing an important role in making the j vveekend a complete failure or a complete success. Packham said that they pointed out that the pri mary penalty for breaking the rules set up is the final termina tion of future Duck Preview's. PACKHAM SAID that the houses were instructed that if1 any seniors did show up at their houses between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday, they should be sent to the scheduled area. The greater Oregon committee has requested that University students who are not connected with Greater Oregon to keep out of the SU between 10-12 a.m. Sat (Continued on page 8) p.m. Foster ran upstairs and tried to put the fire out with an ex tinguisher, but the smoke was too heavy and he was driven out. Foster tried to call the fire de partment from a phone in the house but was unable to call out. He then ran to a service station and called from there. Firemen estimated the damage to the house at 57,500 and to the contents of the house at $2,500. THE 13 .Members of the fra ternity moved into temporary living quarters at Nestor hall in Vets dorm.
