Religious Week Opens With Talk by Dr. Niebuhr
"Religion in a Creedless Day" Is the Subject of Convocation Speech
"Religion in a Createdess Day" was the subject of Reinhold Niebuhr's ad dress at convention this morning at the Episcopal church in Detroit, and is visiting the council under the joint anus of Religious Workers.
Doctor Nieubur opened his address by asking "What can a man believe?". Modern students are asking that ques-
tions should be answered with the answer Mr. Nieubur, we have always relied on tradition and outside factors to tell us what is true. We see that many traditions are mothaken, and are not what we thought them to be. How are we to judge right?
"Everything is sunk into a set of relativity in college and we wonder if we can ever guide ourselves through it all to the right. Often we go wrong and we find that our experience, the past and tradition bind us more than any of us can realize.
"The past," Doctor Niebruah says, "is a "tremendous force in life," Doctor Niebruah doesn't like to regard the past with any pride or inspiration. In this he says that he is a Christian. Neither does Niebruah believe that God made modern day and say, "What would Jesus do if he were in Lawrence today?" He is not his authority but inspires us.
Nichelbur believes that we are creatures of the past, qualified by our immediate environment and the history of our research. We need to quite solve the problems of the present, but the past likes to insist that its truth is absolute. Every past generation has the idea that it has absolute truth and it represents a generation. We are experimentalists and we don't want this truth."
Religion Based on Absolute
Doctor Nielou burgle that religion is an insult to our faith and insist on absolutes. All factions that are in any way unacquaint insist on it, "Folks have a way," Nielou writes. People raise a particular value or truth until they think it perfect. No truth according to religious ministerism is duality for our life.
"We are Presbyterians, Lutherans,
Congregationalists and so forth because
of the difference of Scotland or Germany, are not so much
because of the difference of our be-
"It is the business of college students to look into the past and bring out the truth. Only a small part of the present college generation has enough intelligence to be rebellious. It is an achievement to bring students to the past, past, past," who pretend to have an education cannot achieve rebellion." Doctor Niebruhr says.
Experience Has Limitations
It is wholesome to have tension between generosity, gratitude, and tenderness. According to Doctor Niebubar, "If tradition has its limitations so has experience, and we must be careful not to lose sight of what a monstrous thing it is to believe that one can discover the absolute right in experience, that I might do is quite to reach the ultimate in right or wrong. I cannot begin to discover the right; if I do I cannot do anything, because nothing that I can try to do, no error that I can commit someone in the past don’t done or committed, or limited to what I can pick out that truth.
No. 103
"Religion", Doctor Niburbur says,
"is two things. It is devotion to
values and an insistence that these
values are preserved to the universe.
"Nobody is going far with religion intelligently if he hasn't experimented with it previously both morally and spiritually. No matter what the man who is loyal to one group, one faction. I would rather have a person devoted to values and not believing in God than to have him devoted to just one
thing.
Doctor Nicubur would rather see a man regard religion as an adventure than assurance that have a man has religious assurance and make no adventure. Prayer, he says, is not real to many people today.
Doctor Nicubur
In closing his address, Doctor Niehbaud said, "Make things real, in your life and you will not validate the greet."
Doctor Nieubur spoke at open forum at 4:30 today, and will be on the camps until Friday, for the address will be Wednesday evening at address.
Mac's band played a selection at the opening of convocation.

Weary Sleepers Rest on Auditorium Benches
The new University auditorium has a number of uses serving the various needs of the School of Fine Arts, the athletic department and the dramatic and public speaking department and what not. It is designed for all who has been put in a decidedly novel one and is perhaps not generally known.
During a hell-week conducted recently by one of the fraternities of the Hill, the pledges, more commonly referred to as "howly squabs" or "worms of the duet," were not allowed the privilege of sleeping at any time.
But two of the ingenious "squabs" managed to violate the dictation of the upperclassman successfully—and they were careful not to come up to the Bill to enroll. They found one of the doors of the auditorium open, so they entered and sat down at the desk in the basement, where the seats have no arm rests between them. Here on the hard chairs, the two pledges stretched their arms as they were quickly dead to outside world.
Same hours later, the sleepers were awakened by the beautiful strains of "Indian Love Call" being played on the piano. They looked at their eyes, looked at their watches, listened to the music, and then agreed that they had enjoyed just a tiny bit of heaven in the midst of a period that was not improperly named h beds week.

Arrests by Police Held Unjustifiable by Student Council
Hell Week Activities Ruled to Be Under Control of Pan-Hellenic Conference
Term "Hell Week" a Misnomer
The police court referred the cases to the University which, in turn, gave the Council jurisdiction over the lawyers they deal with them unacquainted.
The Men's Student Council in special session last night at 8:00 in Greenbelt built up a resolution that the art students would attend the Hall Week activities last Friday were not justified; that the Men's Student Council recommended to confine Hall Week activities; that the Council recommend to the Inter-Feminity Conference to confine Hall Week houses as far as possible. It was pointed out that all the students were arrested while they were waking or taming under street lights.
Term "Hell Week" is *Mismanor*
The sentiment of the Council was that
it should be fairly with the result of considerable
undesirable publicity based on errors in fact. The following attitude was
that Nicholas and Nikolaus, preside-
t this morning.
"The term 'Hell Week' is a misnomer. Activity does not exist in some fraternities, others limit it to two days, and still others limit it to their own property. The length of the trial is misleading, as it actually acted with the University, in no case extends a week.
"Fraternities were not pledged this year to confine hell week activities to the fraternity property.
Not in Council's Jurisdiction
"Hell week may at times be too severe and strenuous, but the question of changing or abolishing it belongs to the individual fraternities.
"It would be stretching jurisdiction of the Student Council to even hold for trial any fraternity pledge who is not in attendance, trespassing during hell week errands.
"The pledges they mutually trespass should be liable for their offense, and their organization should be censored 'or the orders.'
"Resolutions recommending that activities be confined entirely to the fraternity property would amount to admission that presence on the streets is not the truth. In other words, if an erred is necessary to the pre-initiation activities of a fraternity the pledges should not be held back, but should rather be sent out on errands that will involve no chance of trespass."
The following is the Council resolution:
Charges Not Preferred
or is resolved by the Men's Student Council;
Sec. 1. The arrests of the 31 pledges were not justified, and the police force of the City of Lawrence acted hastily and without reasonable justification.
Sec. 2. That the Men's Student Council has no jurisdiction over Hall Week activities in general, and refers to the Interfraternity Conference.
See, 3. That the Council recommends to the Interfamilia Conference that Hall Week activities be considered a chapter house, so far as possible.
