"Religious Week Will Be Sponsored Early in February
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11. 1928
Miss Russ Leads Review of Mr. Niebuhr's Book at Y. W. C. A. Vesners
A discussion of Reinbold Nieubur's latest book, "Does Civilization Need Religion," was led by Miss Marie Roberts, C. A. secretary, at the last, Y. W. A. C. aveens yesterday.
The meeting was held at 4:30 in Myers hall
Miss Rua reviewed Mr. Niebueh's book and also gave a summary of an address which Mr. Niebueh presented a year ago at the Milwaukee confer- The title of the address was "Practical Unbelief of Modern Civilization."
"Religion," says Mr. Niebhr, "is not in a robust state of health, and the plight is that it has two foes, both of which seem to attack the thing for which religion stands, dignity and trust." The scientists are, the pure sciences which complicate the problem of maintaining plausibility of personal universe, and applied sciences, which reveal type in society in which personality is easily found, which groups are large, relationship complex and processes impersonal.
"Science is made difficult but not impossible to reinterpret religious truth but more important to inquire how life which proceeds from a rewarded earth has been restored civilization. The restoration of vitality of religion must await reorganization of life to meet problems which the pure and applied sciences have uncovered, other organizations religion must prefer ethical problems to intellectual problems.
“Our religion is a religion of power, and we cannot see God because we worship power. Primitive men picked up a hammer and started to work. When modern man suffers a loss of self-esteem he buys a bigger car and ‘steps on’ to it. That picture of a man who has not yet learned the picture of modern civilization, by the way, and one man add that the man is slightly intoxicated which is not a real problem. The Volunteer Act for his intoxication is something more profound than that. Modern civilization is a man slightly intoxicated, driving a high-speed car, usually running over somebody.”
Constance Nuckles, chairman of the promotion committee, made several interesting announcements which continued to be held on Feb. 7, 8, and 9 on which dates Reinhold Neibahr will present his series of addresses. The plan presented by Miss Nuckles is that all members of the congregation will be some time, some person or persons, faculty or others, in order than an opportunity will be given for the discussion of some religious problems within the church. "The regular weekly Week." She also suggested the possibility that a special reading table be provided in the library during that week where material concerning religious problems will be far more accessible.
Other numbers on the program included a tenuor solo by Eli Wamengo, who sang "Ave Marina." Cecil Miller and Mike Hodgson wrote Dorothy Enloe played a piano prelude.
Only Three Days Remain to Play Handball Game

Several of the matches have been played but the great majority of them are not.
Niobhrisms
Whatever new technique for social and economic life may finally be developed, the problem of living together cannot finally be solved if we cannot develop in the art of trade with other men or of their weakness, or of their weakness and forgiving each other's sins.
Love and intelligence need each other but they have some difficulty getting them together in the religion of the future must learn how to wed them in a union which will not be a genuine going of either partner.

Van Horebek, in charge of the landscaping department said that the temperature is always kept between 65 and 70 degrees and when it falls below 40 degrees the Botany department has four benches in the greenhouse for their experiments and Mr. Van Horebek two benches for flowers. It looks like a reporter's favorite flower must be the begonia, because there were several different kinds of begonias, each kind prettier than the other. There are many forms there too.
Sarah Kyle takes the part of Nana, the dope fiend, which she plays to perfection. Julie Sutton, as Arlette, is charming and should please the audience, as is Miss Meredith the girl, who plays the part of Diane.

Big Change in Colleges Noticed by Traveler who Always Visits Campuses Every Three Years
Have you ever visited the Gwinnett city greenhouse which is located on side hill just below Fowler shops, in the shade of a large place, besides being a very warm place. A. Van Horebeek, in charge of the landscaping department said that there are two places between 65 and 70 degrees and when the sun shines it gets even hotter.
Flowers Wintered in Offices
inverted in clothes
An interpretation that when they are all the flowers is that when they are taken of bloom they are taken to the various offices around the Hill. The reporter thought that it might be a good opportunity to get an "arm" out, but it seems as though the purpose of the arm is to adorn offices, not mere individuals.
Right now the force in landscaping is trimming the trees around the campus, and this work may continue. Usually three men are employed in
City Taxi Company to Install System of Zone Charges
New Ordinance to Be Effective in Ten Days; Meter Plan
Unsuccessful
The zone system of charging is to replace the present system used by the police in many parts of an amendment of the ordinance which requires meters in all cabs operated in Lawrence. The action was taken on Tuesday, the city commission Monday afternoon.
The meter plan has been unsatisfactory to taxi men in Lawrence and when they appeared before the company, they changed the change, they were directed to work out a plan which would be satisfactory. A plan was formulated, using color coding to indicate point, and figuring the charges according to zones. This plan was submitted to the commission and adopted, the commission will be effective within ten days.
Zones Are Arranged
The new rates, with their zones are as follows:
From any depot to any part of the city of North Lawrence, south of Maple street and west of Fourth street, and to any part of the city south of the Kansas river within a valley in Jersey Street on the east, Eleventh Street on the south, and Indiana street on the west, will be known as the 25-cent zone.
From any depot to any point in the city of North Lawrence, north of Maple street and east of Fourth street, and to any part of the city south of the Kansas river, east of the Cedar River, west of Haskell institute, and west of Indiana street, will be known as the 50-cent zone.
Date 59 to Hassken

25-cent zone, as defined above,

Mr. Van Horebeek who received his degree in horticulture from a government school in Belgium has several interesting and unusual flowering plants he has a Persian lilac in a tub in the greenhouse. It differs from the American lilac in having smaller leaves, and in blooming every year instead of three. Another lilac will be blooming within 30 days), said Mr. Van Horebeek. Another curiosity was a Tasmanian bean which is taller than its counterpart, a cumference of perhaps five inches. The reporter thought that it would be a very handy kind to raise if one were in the canning industry, because you just slice it right off into the can.
