Henry Pit Van Dusen, the speaker at the luncheon, discussed the question, 'Why Religion?'
Van Dusen Speaks
"This is one of the most difficult and yet the most hopeful times religion has ever experienced," said the speaker. "More reading of a religious nature is being done now than at any other time in the history of civilization, and more thought is being religious questions than ever before."
While there is a tremendous interest in religion today, there is but a meager adherence to organized forms of it, Mr. Van Dusen explained. Aequidna's religious opinion pops up popular opinions prevalent today; First, that religion is a worn-out life of a bygone age; second, that it is eternal and native to man, and fills some essential function for human beings; third, it is a peripheral interest in life, something extra that is all right for those who want it but that is not necessary to life; and fourth, that whether religion is true or not, it doesn't make any difference.
Hitude Makes Difference
Attitude Makes Difference
The speaker refuted the fourth answer and asked how all the differences in the world to a man's mind and life what his attitude toward religion is. "If a man is interested in living life at its fullest, the first essential is that he must have some understanding of the universe in which he lives," he stated.
"Religion is either untrue and needs to be stamped out, or it is the truth upon which the fundamentals of life are built. These are the two issues upon which one must decide. And the attitude one takes toward religion must in the final analysis, be the moral attitude one takes toward life."
Religion Analyzed
"Religion is not an aesthetic expression, an emotional experience, an interest in life's work, or the subscription to a creature. It is the fundamental facts of life—a harmonization of life with the world in which we live."
Mr. Van Dusen, in conclusion, analyzed religion as: First, the great affirmer; second, the great corrector, and third, the great challenger.
intellectual Barriers to Religion was the topic discussed by Mr. Van Dusen in his address before the Lawrence Ministerial Alliance at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday morning.
Mr. Van Dusen will remain at the University tonight and Wednesday to conduct the institute on the power of religion. His address schedules are as follows: 8:00 to night; Why Pray?; 4:30 Wednesday afternoon, The "Tasks and the Enemies of Leadership"; 6:00 p. m.

Mississippi Governor Signs Bill Prohibiting Teaching of Evolution
University Students Petition Senate Against Passage
of the Law
Jackson, Miss. March 16.—"Will the state and country again be convulsed with another Dayton battle?" is the question that Mississippi teaches about this week.
Governor H. L. Whitfield has signed the much debated bill which prohibits the teaching of evolution in all state supported schools, colleges and universities. The bill is apparently intended that the minds is whether or not the law will be enforced.
If the people are sincere, wholesale enforcement may be undertaken, but it is pointed out that the common fate of the laws in America is to be passed and then left to shift for themselves by the United States. If those who do not affect and ignored by those whom they do.
This same fate was expected of the Tennessee antievolution bill, but it remained for a citizen of an obscure little town, a man who had blood flared up at what he considered an unjust law, and a high school teacher, John T. Scopes, who was willing to underwrite the ordial of a hotly fought trial of a
The vast majority of voters are probably in favor of the act but educators and students of science have voiced their protests. A group of medical students of the state university petitioned the state senate against the bill, and before it was signed, Chancellor Anne H. Hill wrote a strong statement to the governor, warning him of the ill effects on work at the university to be expected from enactment of the statute.
The bill prohibits "the teaching that man descended or ascended from the lower order of animals," and pro-choice action on the one of $900 as penalty for violation.

the world, according to Doctor Neumann.

pointer out that the people are brass; they want re-
lief from governmental responsibility;
and the war has accustomed people to
short cut ways of getting things done
Democracy Will Grow

al is allow him to mimic others

bigger minded men and women."
Vacations Considered
In the evening at 7:30 Doctor Neumann spoke on "Some Considerations in the Choice of a Vocation." He stressed service to society and condemned fraudulent of making money in the choice of a life work.
"Profit is not the sole aim of an occupation," he said. "The fundamental question should be: What would the world need and how can I help that need?" The day will come when people will sink of their concept of profit in their country."
He met his audience personally after both lectures and answered any questions which they wished to ask.

They are not hiitcorns to be passed down from one generation to the next within a certain group. They are University honors as well as hard jobs. They are worthy of the ambition of any student. If politics are responsible for the present lack of interest in higher education outside the political organizations take a turn at running things in the sophomore class.
"Experience is necessary. The Jay hawker is a $20,000 business. But not necessarily experience on an animal are through, the committee will act on the candidates now in the field; but nobody must complain if there is only one candidate for an office committee cannot create candidates."
Students desiring to be considered are expected to give Professor Flint a written statement of their experience. Those who desire to do so may appear before the committee at its meeting Monday, March 22 at 4:50 in the haywalker
