KU-Y Discussion Session

War, Religion, Race Are Topics
The American Negro is a marginal man who is something more than a sociology term, in that he is caught between two ends with no place to fall back on, said Nolen Ellison. Kansas City junior.

Ellison was one of the speakers at the all-membership meeting of the KU-Y this week. The meeting consisted of three discussion groups which were: "Why Should I Believe About What?" "Facing Barriers in Everyday Life," and "Lemmings or Men?"
be embarrassed about nor is there anything for religion to be embarrassed about. He feels they are both on equal terms and it would be unfortunate if everyone came to the same decision, in that this would stop intellectual vitality.
THE NEGRO IS LIVING in a false position—which is a position that he doesn't know, Ellison told the group concerned with facing barriers. He said in a land that is free and a land that tries to influence other countries to be free, "it makes me stop and read the constitution over again." The main problem the American Negro faces, he said, is to fight this thing of being different.
USSR AND USA, the arms race, was the topic for discussion in the group "Lemmings or Men?" Roy Laird, assistant professor of political science; Oswald Backus, professor of history, and Sam Anderson, instructor of German were the panel for the discussion.

He said there doesn't seem to be a chance of a revolution in the Soviet Union, so we (the U.S.) had better wake up.
A short all member meeting was held at the close of the discussion groups. Jane Dunlap, Lawrence senior, made the announcement urging all interested people to participate in the International Club which will be working with the theme of facing barriers.
In the same group, Betsy Breidenthal, Kansas City senior, told of her experiences while studying in Madrid. She said that by trying to conform and working herself into the dominant culture of Spain the people expected her to be interested in Madrid, the history of Spain and Madrid, and in the social life. The result of these expectations she said was the conforming of herself from a minority group into the majority group. She said she wasn't herself but at least she was acceptable to the people by conforming to their standards. This she said was the biggest problem everywhere.
Prof. Laird said, "We must
"WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE About What?" was discussed by Charles Landesman Jr., assistant professor of philosophy, and the Rev. Don Hull, director of the Wesley Foundation.
The question of the definition of religion was discussed by both men. Prof. Landesman said it was supernaturalism in its common sense. Rev. Mr. Hull disagreed and said there was a definite distinction between religion and faith as supernaturalism was found in the medieval period and not today. Prof. Landesman suggested that there is nothing for philosophy to
