    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.
Tuesday in a lecture at the School of
Music Auditorium.
The University Art Museum will fea
ture an exhibition of Shaker art, furni
ture and household objects, farm and
workshop implements, clothing and
graphic works from the Hancock Shaker
Village. Pittsfield, Mass. This exhibit,
continuing through Ma> 1. is co-sponsored
by the Frit ids of the Museum and the
RDA.
SHAKKR VILLAGE
A gallery reception in honor of Miss
Terri will be held at the Museum from
9:30 to 11:30 p m. following her Tuesda\
evening concert.
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.
TWO POLITICAL SPKAKKKS
Two speakers during the week will
deal with politics. Harvey B. Schechter
will speak at 4 p.m Monday on "Religion
and the Radical Right.”

history, will be chairman of the meeting
