Religion Is Answer, 3-Faith Panel Says
Religion is the answer to finding peace within the individual and peace among nations. This was the conclusion reached by members of the Interfaith Panel Discussion Wednesday night in Bailey Auditorium.
The moderator was Dr. W. Stitt Robinson, associate professor of history. Panel members were the Rev. D. Roland H. Bainton, professor of ecclesiastical history at Yale University; Rabbi Myron Meyer, Temple Adath Joseph, St. Joseph, Mo., and the Rt. Rev. Msgr. George Towle, St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Lawrence.
The three members found differ-
The three members found ent answers to the question before the panel, "Is Religion The Answer?" but each agreed that religion is necessary to happiness of the individual and the peace of the world.
Religion Alone The Answer "There are many perplexing problems facing the individual from birth to death," Rabbi Meyer said, "and the followers of Judaism feel that religion alone can answer these problems."
"All three religions represented here advocate peace, and all three have been involved in war," the Rev. Dr. Bainton said. "The matter is not simple, but at least we are united. Religion states principles and lays down rules of behavior, but does not outline specific plans for action. It is complex, but religion is the answer."
Religion and Segregation
"Religion is the answer to life and our eternal destiny," Msgr. Towle said. "The more we make religion a part of our lives, the more we'll find peace in our lives and peace in the world."
Kenigion and Segregation A member of the audience asked if religion is the answer to the problems of segregation.

The Rev. Bainton added that one difficulty today is that we have come to take war as a matter of course. "One of the basic considerations of peace is the passionate will for peace."
The Rev. Bainton answered, "I have recently been speaking in the South and I am proud of the way in which members of the clergy there have been speaking out in favor of desegregation."
Rabbi Meyer pointed out that one of the earliest prophets had long ago emphasized complete equality.

Symbolic Costumes Featured In Coming Arena-Type Play
"Since the audience sits on all four sides of the stage area in an arean production every aspect of the costumes, props and scenery must be perfect," said Nat Eek, instructor of speech and drama and director of the play.
The costumes, designed and supervised by Miss Sally Six, instructor of speech and drama, carry out the primary color, yellow, which symbolizes the elegance of the age.
The colors of costumes are also used to differentiate between the three levels of society portrayed in th play. The peasants wear the earth colors, green and brown, while the aristocratic class will wear dominant colors of blue, yellow, black and white. The household servants' costumes will be of black and white with a touch of brown, showing their connections with aristocracy and yet relating them to the peasants.
Wearing cavalier hats with large feather plumes over wigs of shoulder-length curls, aristocratic gentlemen in the play will be dressed in lace-trimmed knee-length trousers, knee stockings and shoes with large brass buckles.
The ladies with their high pompadour wigs will wear dresses of satin and velvet with full sleeves. tight-fitting bodices and full skirts.
Not only will the costumes add authenticity to the play, but the setting carries out the baroque style of the period, simplifying it a little, by using a few stylized props.
Working with Miss Six on the costumes are Margaret Epps, Topeka, and Mary Ledgerwood, Kansas City, Mo., both somohomes; Hulda Goodson, Knox City, Mo., and Joyce Klemp, Leavenworth, juniors.
