God First, Politics Next, Clergy Says
A panel of clergymen expressed agreement last night that the churches of America should take a stand on political issues.
"Religion In Politics" was the subject of last night's panel discussion held in connection with Religion In Life Week.
Lee Crawford, Bartlesville, Okla., senior and president of the Student Religious Council, asked the panel to discuss how an individual can divide his enthusiasm and time between his political life and his religious life.
The panel members agreed that man's commitment to God took precedence over any other commitment. Man should approach his political obligations in terms of his religious teachings, they said.
Not Political Issues
The Rev. Henry Bruel of Topcaa said he could see a church speaking on moral but not political issues. Hisoids.
He said:
Lab Confirms Most 'Cold' Cases as Flu
Approximately five of every seven students who enter Watkins Memorial Hospital with the symptoms of a common cold actually are plagued with Asian flu.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the KU Health Service, said cultures taken from students have been identified with Asiatic influenza by the state laboratories at Topeka.
"Generally speaking, those who have had their flu shots have not suffered the disease," he said. "How- ever, many people still have not had their shots."

"I have yet to see an issue that is strong enough and vital enough in which the churches have to press forward on their people.
Politicians are marvels of energy and principle when they're out of office, but when they get in, they simply run behind the machine. John Galsworthy
"I would not make any political pronouncement as a pastor but in conversation with friends I may."
Rabbi Marvvn Fox, professor of philosophy at Ohio State University, asked the panel their feelings toward a church-oriented political party.
The members said that it would be "un-American" and a violation of the separation of Church and State
"I am not saying that the churches should favor this or that political party," said Rabbi Fox.
He explained that he favored the churches taking a stand on political issues, not political candidates.
The Rev, Karl Lutze of Valparaiso,
Ind... said;
"I think that we have a legal concern to make sure that justice does exist."
The members agreed that the church in its function as a teaching institution should teach its people what questions to ask of an issue.
Church's Responsibility The Rev. Robert Harder of Topeka said:
The Rev. Bruel explained that if a political issue were also a moral issue, a church should take a stand on the issue.
"It seems to me that a church has a responsibility in its teaching to establish some sort of a moral tone."
Rabbi Fox suggested that the very existence of a church as a social institution is questioned if it hesitates to take a stand on political issues.
The Rev. John L. Miller said that he did not feel qualified to discuss the subject. He explained that he spends five out of every six years abroad.
He said:
"I will probably never get to vote in these United States."
The lack of interest in Religion in Life Week continued yesterday. Only seven students attended the lecture on "Industry in Engineering" given by Harvey H. Grice, president of Graceland College.
RLW Attendance Remains Low
The RLW group neglected to send a representative to introduce Mr. Grice to his audience.
Ise Expounds On Capitalism
(Continued from rage 1.)
He described racial discrimination as a non-Christian element.
"Although we're doing better, we don't seem to be doing it fast enough."
He said that the capitalistic system is materialistic and that it lacks spiritual and cultural things.
"And though we are reverting to capitalism we can reconcile ourselves to the fact that communism and fascism are worse, more materialistic and brutal," Prof. Ise concluded.

The group pulled their chairs in a semi-circle around Mr. Grice and he led an informal question-and-answer discussion.
But the lack of interest did not appear to discourage Mr. Grice, although it did result in a change ir his lecture topic.

This was one of the questions Mr. Grice, asked.
What is sin?
The views expressed by Rabbi Marvin Fox who spoke on "Religion and the Modern Mind" earlier in the day were discussed.
"Sin is the difference between what you are and what you ought to be," he answered.
The point that Mr. Grice felt most strongly about was this: "One should not compromise on his beliefs."
He said that he had never compromised that part of his religion which forbade him to drink or smoke, and he still rose to the position of manager of a corporation and was rated a lieutenant colonel in the chemical warfare branch of the U. S. Army Reserve.
"My religious beliefs have never
interfered with my career," said Mr. Grice.
"If anything, they are an asset."
