Stephens Dean Opens Religious Emphasis Week
"What are we doing here?" challenged Dr. Paul S. Weaver, at the opening convocation of Religious Emphasis Week in Hoch auditorium Sunday. Dr. Weaver is dean of religious activities at Stephens college.
If we do not face this question, we surrender the only element that distinguishes us from animals. Man has never been wise enough to guide himself in this matter, he needs God, Dr. Weaver said.
Dr. Weaver said, "with religion a part of life and with religion does not enhance our life, then we might ask, what does it do for us? "There is only one thing we can do with religion and that is live it." Dr. Weaver pointed out.
Morning worship services will be held in Danforth chapel as a part of Religious Emphasis week, Albert Goodpasture, chairman of the worship committee, said today. The services began today and will continue at 9:30 a.m. through Friday.
The World Student Christian Federation Day of Prayer is being observed today. Tuesday, the Jewish Student Union group will conduct the service; Wednesday, in charge; Thursday, the Lutheran the Episcopal church group will be group will preside, and Friday the Ninth street Baptist group will conduct the service.
All faculty members and students are welcome at all services. Ned L. Linegar, executive secretary of the Y.M.C.A. said.
Dr. Weaver stated that human beings are divided into two classes: those who, when faced with responsibility say, "I've done enough already, count out me," and those who try to do a complete job.
Ira Gissen, president of the Jewish union gave the invocation. The Rev. H. M. Sippel, president of the Lawrence ministerial alliance, introduced the speakers of Religious Emphasis week, Curtis Glover, fine arts junior, sang Gounod's "O Dive Redeemer." Chancellor Deane W.

99th Vespers Furnish Entertainment Sunday
By ANN ALLEN
Fine music furnished an afternoon of relaxation and entertainment for those who attended the presentation of the 99th All-Musical vespers in Hoch auditorium Sunday.
The program started with the gay, snappy "Set Down Servant," sung by the University Men's Glee club, under the direction of Joseph Wilkins.
professor of voice. The bass in this number was particularly clear and distinct.
"Quintet" (Bocherini), played by the string quintet, had a dignified gayety with an undertone of beating rhythm that was very pleasing to the listeners.
Beautiful, solemn "Ave Verum" (Gounod) was sung by the well blended voices of the University Women's Glee club, directed by Irene Peabody, associate professor of voice.
The most popular selection on the program was "Introduction and Allegro" (Ravel) by Margaret Ling, harp; Thomas Marocco, violin; Myron McNewn, violin; Vincent Bleeker, viola; Maurice Pollum, cello; Marcus Hahn, flute; Raymond Zepp, clarinet. The harp solo by Miss Ling was one of the outstanding performances of the afternoon. A rippling, haunting melody with variations of gayety make "Introduction and Allegro" very popular.
"Deep River," the familiar spiritual, was the best of three numbers sung by the a cappella choir, under the direction of D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts. The choir's diction, blending and enthusiasm were much superior in this selection to that in the preceding songs.
The first moment of the popular "Scheherazade Suite" by Rimski-Korsakov was sensitively interpreted by the University Symphony orchestra, directed by Russell L. Wiley, associate professor of band.
Twenty-five travel sketches and water colors of England, France and Denmark will be exhibited by Gerald Davis assistant professor of architecture, this week in Marvin hall.

'Like Or Loathe It' Harvey Says
Must the dead be buried? Is the cause big enough to die for? These are a few of the questions raised in "Bury the Dead" to be presented Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday by the University Players in Fraser theater.
"People will either like 'Bury the Dead,' or loathe it, there is no middle ground," Harold Harvey, director of the play said. "The anti-war play was met with full approval when presented in the fall of '36."
Tickets are available upon presentation of activity books in the ticket office in the basement of Green hall. Single admission for non-students is $1.
Flower Fund Aids 300 This Year
Over 300 students have been aided this year by the Flower fund, a student emergency loan fund, administered by the University Endowment association.
During the period September 1 to January 31, $11,446.10 has been loaned. The fund now stands at a capital balance of $4,300.00 This means that the Flower fund has had a 2.7 turn-over in the last five months, Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment association, said.
The loans are of the 'short term' type to be paid within 60 days. The average loan has been bout $38.00. The Flower Fund was started in 1839 when Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Battenfeld requested donations to the fund instead of flowers on the death of their son, John C. Battenfeld, who had been a student here. Other donations given over the last several years, have built the fund to its present size.
