Radio Pastor Will Open Christian Meet
Christian Emphasis Week will have as featured speaker, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, pastor of New York's Marble Collegiate church, at the ministers conference beginning Monday.
Doctor Peale, who for the last six years has been a regular speaker on National broadcasting company programs, will speak at an all-school convocation Monday. The talk will be broadcast over WREN.
Lawrence theaters have secured
colored dates for "One Foot
Lawrence theaters have secured a pre-release date for "One Foot in Heaven," the religious film for which Doctor Peale was technical advisor. This picture will be a definite part of the week's program.
Several hundred visiting ministers will assemble at the Memorial Union building at 5:30 p.m. Monday. At this time students may meet and talk with their home-town ministers.
Dr. Jim Chubb, student pastor at Baker University; Harry O'Kane, Y.M.C.A. executive secretary; and the Rev. Joseph King of Lawrence; will lead discussions Wednesday and Thursday during the Christian Emphasis Week.
The Student Christian Federation in co-operation with Dean Paul B. Lawson and Chancellor Deane W. Malott has planned the emphasis week. This group is made up of representatives from all religious organizations on the Hill.

'Thunder'
Set Is
Unusual
On page 5 is a list of intramural all-stars, chosen by a poll of officials and players.
"The setting for this show will be the most unusual seen on Fraser theater's stage since we pivoted a house and store in the middle of the stage and whirled them around in 'My Heart's in the Highland'," reports Don Dixon, who is supervising construction of the set for "Thunder Rock," which will play a three-night stand here Dec. 9 to 11.
The setting will represent both interior and exterior parts of a lighthouse as well as some sky and water. Dixon is confronted with the problem of swinging a circular staircase of some 40 steps around the interior of the lighthouse without any interior bracing.
Travel Bureau Arranges Rides
Some of the characters begin their stage entrances from the fly loft 18 feet above the floor level of the stage. Most stage scenery is constructed of thin strips of lumber and covered with unbleached muslin, but the scenery for "Thunder Rock" has to be constructed with two-by-fours which are firmly riveted to the floor.
Union Travel bureau has been making arrangements to find rides and passengers for students and faculty members for the Thanksgiving vacation trips. Those desiring rides were notified this afternoon of ride opportunities.
Designs for the set were worked out by Prof. Allen Crafton, director of the play, while he was recovering at home from a broken knee this fall.

Red Cross Counts Dollars
Figures on the money collected in the Hill Red Cross drive last week were incomplete today since some organized house and individual student contributions have not yet been computed. The faculty total in the drive was $375, E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, has announced.
Jay Janes collected more than $25 Friday, when they wore Red Cross arm bands and carried collection cartons. Most successful was Nadine Hunt, who took in $4.06. Other Jay Janes averaged approximately $1.00 each.
Young Says Japan Near End of Rope
"Japan is finished." That is the opinion of James R. Young, former head of the International News Service bureau in Tokyo, who spoke in Fraser theater last night after appearing as guest at a banquet sponsored by several Hill organizations.
Repeatedly, Young called attention to Japan's hopeless situation, her lack of vital resources, her political instability, and the economic strangulation now imposed upon her.
He stressed the chaotic internal situation in Nippon. The army, he said, opposes the navy in a never-ending struggle for government control, and the people oppose both. The government and cabinet now contain men Young considers "fanatics"—many of whom he knows well. He blasted the recent statements of Tokyo officials and discredited entirely the significance of the U.S. trip of Japan's last-minute envoy, Saburo Kurusu, and the seven points he has brought with him. Kurusu lacks the backing necessary for him to bargain with this country. Young said.
Held in solitary confinement in a Japanese prison for two months because he published information the government wanted kept secret, Young knows what it means
