WHERE'S THE FIRE?—Four unidentified University women are seen contemplating their chances of getting a ride on a fire truck that answered a call at Miller hall late yesterday afternoon. However, it turned out that there was no fire, with the smoke being caused by a burned motor in the furnace. No, they weren't able to get the ride.
Firemen Rushing to Miller Find Smoke,but No Fire
"Where there's smoke there's fire."
This old saying didn't hold true last night when firemen unrolled their hoses and found smoke—no fire.
The smoke came from a furnace room at Miller hall. Someone called the fire department and within seconds two fire trucks were charging up the hill toward the dormitory.
There was an air of disappointment as bystanders watched the firemen carefully coil up the hose for another trip and as the fire chief finally directed the men to "Take 'em back to the station."
Girls came running out of the dormitory with whatever clothes they had on. Boys came running over from all over the campus to offer their assistance. Everyone expected to see the excitement of a fire being extinguished.
More disappointment ensued when he refused to allow some of the girls to ride to the corner on the fire truck.
Club to See Mayan Movie
The picture shows the ancient Maya cities of Chichen Itza and Uxmal in Mexico and Tikal and Tuleulu in Guatemala. The United Tech company which financed the excavation and restoration of Zaculeu, sponsors the film. Interested persons may attend.
Mayan murals with colored paints dating from the seventh century will be shown in the color movie, "The Maya Through the Ages," to be shown at a meeting of La Tertulia club in 113 Strong at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow.
The murals are on the interior walls of the Bonampak ruins in Chiapas, Mexico. These buildings were covered by the jungle until they were discovered by Giles Healey, an American archaeologist, less than 10 years ago. The film also shows a ceramic Indian of Oaxaca using sacred pottery vessels, called god-pots, in a primitive ceremony.
The murals show the use of perspective by the Mayan artists before Italian artists had gained that skill. Carlyle S. Smith, associate professor of sociology, said.
Texas, the largest state, has 253 counties while Rhode Island, the smallest state, has only five.
There must have been an air of relief, however, among the firemen as they took their trucks back to the station, without sporting burns or coughing or choking from a choked up lung.
The residents of Miller hall must have been relieved when they learned that their house and belongings were not damaged.
They and the rest of us can continue to relax now and forget about fire hazards until fire prevention week. Or should we make every week fire prevention week?
Irene Jordan Charms Listeners
By NANCY COLLINS
Irene Jordan, brilliant young soprano, charmed her audience last night as she sang in Hoch auditorium, sponsored by the Concert course as a part of the Fine Arts festival.
Possessing a clear, rich voice and abundant volume. Miss Jordan exercised perfect control and a precise enunciation which made it possible to understand each word she sang.
Miss Jordan's versatility was amazing. Her selections ranged from lieder by Franz, Wolf, and Strauss, to Negro spirituals; from serious to heart-tending to amusing, each sung with the appropriate interpretation and control.
In her performance of "Pace, Pace, Mio Dio," one highlight of the varied program, she sang with a great deal of the tonal inflection and sensitivity that could be heard throughout the program.

One unusual selection and one of the most beautiful of the entire program, was "Vocalise" by Rachmaninoff, which had no words but was vocalized in its entirety.

Two Professors Differ On Religious Teaching
Religious teaching in the classroom is impractical in a non-
denominational university.
A certain amount of religion is needed in college classes.
A certain amount or religion. These two opposing views marked a split in the Christian Faith Be Taught in the University Classroom?" held at a Faculty Christian fellowship dinner last night.
Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism, said, "When I tell a reporter he should have integrity and honor. I am teaching religion."
The trouble with things today, he said, is that there is no philosophy of life to tie the world together.
"You must define what is good if a student is to have a good life," he said. "Religion is a part of all life. Why is it not a facet of what the University considers a broad education?"
The opposing view was taken by Albert R. Kitzhaber, assistant professor of English, who said that if a professor attempted to teach religion in his classes, there would be a possibility that the students would not share his views.
"Man has climbed to his greatest heights through the influence of reliigion. There would be no western civilization without it."
Religion should be brought out only in private conference, not in class, he said.
There is also the danger, he said, that courses might become disoriented because of the influence of religion and might end up with a course like Christian Economy.
"Another opposing factor in the teaching of religion in University classes is that we must recognize and protect the separation of the church and the state," he said. "If a student desires religious training, he can take courses in the School of Religion."
