Krsna Devotee Arigit Das in His Temple
By SHIELA JONES
Krsna Chants Flow from Temple
This chant is the culmination of Krama consciousness, and the leader, and has been used to teach in schools.
"Hare Krama Hare Krama Hare Krama"
"Hare Krama Hare Krama Hare Rama Rama."
Krsa devotees are an incomprongible mixture of the ancient and the present. Their shaven heads with a tuff of hair on top are the most important part of their transportation—a Volkswagen bus.
On Tuesday, although the building was much cleaner and definitely improved, porters of the blue transporter failed to transform trom wallpaper into the image of a temple formed by Western expectations. The same consciousness were in a state of sleep.
Arigit Dias, 24 year-old devotee of Krsna and leader of the group, said that by Tuesday evening the shabby building at 444 Missouri ST. would be transformed into their
Das, distinguished from the others by the addition of a pale orange shawl, started to beat the Mrdanga, a percussion instrument resembling a bongo. Two others joined in with cymbals. Another added a sound of incense and a woven weave of incense in front of a shrine to Krsna.
"their 'song', consisted of a solo in Sanskrit by Das which was followed with a refrain from the others in the group, and accompanied by a side to side shuffle.
五 devotees, each one dressed in a pale, orange robe-like garment with slight variations, appeared at the ritual Tuesday night. Their faces were accented by two white lines extending from the bridge of the nose.
They began with a ritual offering food to Krsna. Each of the five devotees fell prostrate upon the floor and chanted the Hare Krsna.
This lasted more than 20 minutes, with the pace becoming increasingly frenzied. As the tempo quickened, they began jumping as they danced and the floor boards shook.
Das then gave a lesson on the Bhagavad
Education must adopt a concept of equality of concern, rather than one of equality of treatment, Sidney Hook, a noted philosopher, said in the seventh J. A. Vickers Memorial Lecture last night.
Hook, the Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University, said, "If everyone has a right to medical care, then equality of medical concern does not entail equality of medical treatment. Similarly, equality of educational concern does not entail equality of curricular treatment.
Educational Equality Lecture Topic
"We must introduce the idea of not more or more equality, but of democratic equality or democracy as a way of life."

Hook said he agreed with philosopher John Dewey in that a democratic community was one in which existed an equality of

"All are entitled to an equality of concern, regardless of their physical or psychological differences," he said.

The first six chapters of the Gita deal with the importance of yoga. The Gita describes this state as desirable because "one is situated in boundless transcendental happiness . . . one never departs from the ground and doing this he thinks there is no greater gain."
Offenbach Opera Depicts Search For Ideal Love
"The Tales of Hoffmann," an opera based on the stories of E. T. A. Hoffmann, an 18th century German writer, will open at 8 p.m. tomorrow in University Theatre. It will also be presented Saturday night and next Friday and Saturday nights.

The opera, written in 1881 by Jacques Offenbach will be presented in English.
The opera draws from three Hoffmann stories, "The Sandman," "The Lost Reflections in the Mirror" and "Councilor Krespel. "It is the story of Hoffmann's futile search for perfect love and his fear of artistic failure.
ourotes of Olympia and Antonia, Hoffmann's other loves, will be played by Molly Soward, Goodland senior, and Carol McAmis, Hutchinson graduate student.
The production is a joint effort of University Theatre and the School of Fine Arts. Students are admitted free with registration cards.
Das says four types of people discover Krsa. One type is curious and in his desire to know why he suffers discover Krsa consciousness. Another group becomes aware of Krsa through their disaparance, anxiety, and feelings of rejection.
A third type desires wealth and through prayer to God for assistance obtains a belief in Krsna. The final group consists of those who are wise and have studied all other philosophies, and eventually realize that naa consciousness is the culmination of all.

"We are trying to work out some method where we can retain most of the operation of the traffic court," Oldfather said. He added that this involved reaching an understanding with local courts and the Kansas Board of Recents.

On March 25 the University Judiciary clashed the traffic court illegal, and gave it to the police.
"I think the traffic court is a useful thing," Beisner said, "and I think we should try to keep part of the student appeals process here on campus. But there are some things about the current process that need to be corrected."

Four years ago, Das was Allen Vigil, a surfer in Hawaii, when he met some devotees of Krans. His curiosity about them caused him to attend their rituals and he became steadily more involved. He dropped out of college, where he had been studying philosophy, and became a Krans devotee. Girl Dasa, another devotee, described his
"I was fed up with the material world and looking for God," he said. "I had ventured into other mysticisms and nothing else seemed right."
