Despite their physical hardships and the weakening influences of Communist infiltration and sabotage, however, the Koreans have found real life and happiness through a vital Christian faith, he added.
The United States calls itself a Christian nation, he said, but Americans are unhappy and insecure because they do not trust each other. "We should take a lesson from the Koreans," he concluded.
Korea, probably one of the oldest nations in the world, has a proud historic tradition, Dr. Lowe said. But her crowded and hungry population today is suffering terrible economic conditions in one of the worst of our world hotspots.
Says Red Gains Halted By Faith
"The faith and prayer of five mil- Korean Christians have stopped the advance of communism in Korea," said Dr. DeWitt S. Lowe, medical missionary at the final Religious Emphasis week seminar Thursday.
More has been written about Korea in recent months than ever before, the missionary said. But much of this information is "colloquial and seasonal" and none of it gives the whole picture.
open daily from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m.
ID cards and season tickets stubs may be presented for reserved seats. General admission will be $1.
That statement was expressed yesterday by Helen Maduros, president of the Jay Janes. It represented the sentiments of the Jay Janes and KukU's who have been loyal supporters of the basketball team since the beginning of the season.
Pep Clubs Begin Journeys Tonight
"It at all possible, we'll follow the players to Seattle, New York, and even inland to give them our utmost support." Miss Maduros said.
This play will replace "Twelfth Night" which was originally scheduled as the fourth production. "Twelfth Night" will be a road show. It will play in Fraser theater the week of May 15.
"We'll go to Helsinki with the team if we can."
The Olympic basketball competitions will be held in the Finnish capital. The NCAA playoffs begin tonight in Kansas City for KU.
Though the Barter theater in 1932 bartered entertainment for food and clothing—two tickets for one chicken and one ticket for a dozen roasting ears—the company has grown to be America's oldest and largest professional theater company.
About 75 members of the KuKu

A world government will come eventually, either by war or more slowly through the United Nations, Giuseppe Borgese said last night in a discussion of the work of the Committee to Frame a World Constitution.
Dr. Borgese, founder and secretary-general of the committee, said steps toward world government have been made through the League of Nations and the United Nations.

Teams To Play In KC In NCAA Playoff
Today, however, there is a stronger, more pessimistic feeling that the world is divided than there was three or four years ago. he said.
The purpose of the world constitution is to give to each man the feeling of belonging in a great community with no feeling of discrimination toward large or small nations, he said.
"It is my faith that the members of the Committee to Frame a World be forgotten and that something useful can come from their work," he said.

Kansas University and Texas Christian University clash at 9:45 p.m. today in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium in first section of the Western NCAA basketball playoff. St. Louis University and New Mexico A&M will meet in the opening game at 8 p.m.
Circus Banquet To Be Highlight Of Art Parley
A circus banquet will be the highlight of the High School Art conference to be held March 28-29 by the School of Fine Arts and University Extension.
This is the eleventh year the University has sponsored the conference. Students and faculty from every high school in the state have been invited. The number who will attend is not yet known.
Besides the usual demonstrations, exhibitions, and lectures, a special "circus" has been planned for 6 p.m. Friday, March 28, in the ball room of the Military Science building.
The circus theme for the banquet evolved from necessity. Since the Union will be unable to take care of the group, picnic-type food will be served by vendors from carnival booths.
A German-type circus band, directed by Dorsey Evans Jr., fine arts junior, will lead conference members in a parade from Strong to the carnival.
Design classes started this week to work on brilliant decorations including gigantic posters of carnival figures. Autograph books with a clown motif will be given to visitors as souvenirs.
Following the banquet, side shows, including a hula dancer, a freak, a strong man; and Siamese twins, will be performed by fine arts students with Bernard Dietz, instructor of design, acting as ringmaster.
The main event of the program will be singing by the fine arts chorale. In the absence of Clayton Krehbiel, chorale director, James Ralston, education senior, will lead the group.
After the carnival a marianet show will be given at 8 p.m. in Strong auditorium by Rexford and Aitchison High schools.
Tau Sigma, modern dance sorority, will give a short performance including parts of their spring recital.
Friday and Saturday visiting students will visit art classes, see and discuss art exhibits, and attend lectures by faculty members.
High school students may send any type of original art work to the conference. Ten entries will be accepted from each senior and junior high school. The student work will be discussed and analyzed by art critics.
Speaker Says India, Pakistan Have Common Spiritual Bond
"India and Pakistan owe a common allegiance to spiritual democracy, but on economical and political issues they can agree to differ," Dr. Amiya Chakravarty, visiting professor of humanities, said Thursday.
Anti-democratic forces always find some weak spot, in the serious upheaval in eastern Pakistan it is a "language war," Dr. Chakravarty contended.
"Neither one has surrendered to non-democratic methods, although considerable pressure is being exerted." he said.
obtained complete unity of purpose as to the idea of democracy in spiritual aspects," he added.
After the first shock of India and Pakistan separation and the unwise stampede of population, each country is taking responsibility for their area. Dr. Chakravarty said.
These forces are subtle and constantly parade loyalty before the people, Dr. Chakravarty said. They penetrate every crack in the walls of nationality, wherever possible.
The Moslem countries have not yet found a merger which would release them from the fear that any one group would dominate, Dr. Chakravraya said. "But they have
The Jayhawkers left Thursday afternoon for Kansas City and worked out on the Municipal auditorium court from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in preparation for the first cage meeting of all time between KU and TCU.
The final game of the NCAA tournament will be televised at about 8:59 p.m. Saturday by station WDAF-TV.
Fifteen radio stations reaching as far south as Fort Worth, the home of the Texas Christian entry, and as tar north as Omaha will carry the broadcast.
More than 40,000 unfilled requests for tickets caused the station to negotiate for rights to carry the game. Tickets for both nights of of the tournament were sold out as soon as possible. The tickets sent to KU for the two-night tournament were sold to students in two hours.
Station officials reported that mail response to the game indicated there will be a television audience of more than 1 $ \frac{1}{2} $ million viewers.
Coach Adolph Rupp of Kentucky said he doesn't see how Kansas can fail to win the Western section of the NCAA playoffs.
Kansas university, making its third try for the crown under Phog Allen, and its first in 10 years, is a slight favorite. Experts have picked the Jayhawkers to meet St. Louis university in the Kansas City finals.
If all goes according to schedule, the playoffs May 25 and 26 in Seattle, Wash., will pit KU against either UCLA or Wyoming with Kentucky meeting Illinois.
The NCAA winner and runnerup will be certified into the Olympic trials March 29 in Kansas City.
Winners of tonight's games will play for the regional championship at 9:45 p.m. tomorrow. Tonight's losers will play in the third place game at 8 p.m. tomorrow.
Contributions to the University Red Cross drive reached 1,610 Thursday morning. This amount is over the $1,400 goal set for the drive, Henry Shenk, chairman of the drive announced.
"Response to the drive has been splendid and I am indeed happy with the progress." Most contributors have doubled their contributions of previous years".
Red Cross Drive Amount To $1,610
Approximately 300 faculty members and University employees contributed to the drive which officially began March 7.
Even though there are fewer faculty members this year, contributions are greater than last year. The $1,360 was raised for the Red Cross.
Mr. Shenk said he believed people felt more generous this year realizing the work the Red Cross did in Lawrence in the flood last summer.
The Red Cross drive was directed toward faculty members and University employees although students make contributions if they desired.
Mr. Shenk was assisted by Mrs. Ruth Ann Belt, secretary of the physical education department.
