Religion in Culture Theme of Week Lectures in the fields of music and politics, an art exhibit, a photographic display and a dramatic production will focus attention on the impact of religion in these areas during the second annual Religion in Culture Week at the Univer sity. beginning today and continuing until Wednesday. Various departments of the University and the campus Religious Directors' As sociation are sponsoring the week. The contributions of minority groups —religious, social, and political—is the theme around which the week has been planned. The unique character of the music and art of the Shakers, a com munal religious sect that flourished in the 19th century', will be the subject of several of the events. LECTURE CONCERTS Salli Terri, recording artist, concert soloist, and faculty member at UCLA, has made a special study of the Shakers. She will present two lecture concerts under the sponsorship of the School of Music and the RDA. Miss Terri will deal generally with American folk music in her appearance at 8 pin. today in the Student Union ballroom. She will concentrate her at tention on Shaker music and art at 8 p m.

A photographic exhibit of building in teriors and exteriors of another Shaker village is planned for the foyer of the School of Music auditorium. This architectural study of Shakertown at Pleasant Hill, Ky., was arranged by students under the direction of Walter Creese, dean of the University School of Architecture and Allied Art, when he was a faculty member at the University of Louisville, Ky. Creese was one of the first people to be interested in preserving and restoring this abandoned village which had been partially destroyed by tire. The site of this 19th-century village has been pur chased by a group of private citizens and, with the help of the federal govern ment. they are continuing to restore it and revive the arts and crafts practiced by the Shakers.
