Dostoyevski: Paradise Here, Not In Heaven
Dostoyevski believed that paradise will be here on earth and not in Heaven, Vsevolod Setschkareff, scholar in comparative literature who is teaching Slavic literature this year at Harvard University, told an audience of nearly 350 at the final Humanities lecture of the school year Tuesday night in Bailey Auditorium.
Prof. Setschkareff was speaking about "Dostoyewski and Christianity." He is the fifth foreign humanities lecturer this year.
Dostoyevski began his searching for God with the question after the essence of man, Prof. Setschkareff said. Dostoyevski believed that the essence of man would not be revealed in man's ordinary life but in situations where his whole personality is involved.
A Religious Writer
"In 1839, he wrote: 'if you spend your whole life to solve this secret, don't say you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with the solution of this secret because I want to be a real man.'"
"He tried to answer the very last questions of religion and of philosophy," he said. "He was not afraid of any consequences nor of contradictions in these consequences. He did not try to solve these questions by reason alone. It was clear to him that man is not only a reasonable being."
Prof. Setschkraeff said Dostoyevski had two important experiences in Siberia: 1. Dostoyevski's meeting with Christ. Dostoyevski came to believe that there is nothing more perfect than Christ. 2. Dostoyevski's meeting with the Russian people.
Dostoyevski belonged to a secret revolutionary society. "He was arrested and sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to penal servitude in Siberia. The pardon was given at the last minute—Dostoyevski saw death very near and the following years in Siberia, combined with the fact of already standing on the scaffold worked a complete change in him."
"There is no doubt that Dostoyevski was an eminently religious writer." Prof Setschkareff said. "He said himself in 1870 that his narrative work had only one theme. The main question which tortured me consciously or unconsciously for my whole life was the existence of God." Dostoyevski suffered under this question and did not try to solve it lightly.

Freshman Athlete Faces Rape Charge
David Murl Woolery, Kansas City, Kan. freshman football and basketball player, was arraigned in Douglas County Court this morning on charges of forcibly raping a 19-year-old KU woman Tuesday afternoon.
Vox Trial Postponed
The Vox Populi elections trial will be held over until the fall semester
Also delayed for fall trial will be several individual violations of election rules charged by the Elections Committee.
Vox, the party that won a 17-7 majority in the All Student Council this spring, is charged with mishandling campaign expenses by submitting expense accounts through the Council treasurer instead of the Business Office.
The Student Court informally advised the Elections Committee last week that there was too little time remaining in the semester to allow adequate defense preparation. The court advised the committee to impound its evidence in the dean of students office until fall and press the case then.
Levis would then file the complaint with the Student Court next semester.
Dale Brethower, Nevis, Minn. senior and member of the Elections Committee, said Tuesday night he planned to turn the evidence over to Dick Lewis, Kansas City, Kan. junior who is on next year's committee.
In addition to the Vox case, there are four individual cases for consideration by the court.

Reviewing the ROTC units will be Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy; Capt. K. M. Krieger, professor of naval science; Col. Ralph J. Hanchin, professor of military science, and Col. McHenry Hamilton Jr., professor of air science.
New Book Planned For Western Civ.
Students taking Western Civilization next fall will not have to use the library for any of the readings in the program, according to James E. Seaver, associate professor of history and director of the Western Civilization department.
A new paperbound book, "Heritage of Western Civilization" by John Louis Beatty and Oliver A. Johnson, contains many of the readings now on reserve in the library and will be purchased by the students next semester. The new book also contains selections which the department previously had no right to use. All materials which do not appear in pocket books or in
A second change in the program will be effected next semester. Prof. Seaver said in a Daily Kansan interview Tuesday that some of the readings are written in such a manner as to presume the student knows more than most sophomore-level students.
To help the student, the manual for next year will include much more material of a historical nature. Also, the new book has an introduction to each writer and section, and there will be a chronological table in the manual to help the student relate the particular writer to the period in which he wrote.
the new book will be put into the "Collected Readings" published by the department.
"Since the student will have all
the materials in his possession." Prof. Seaver said, "nothing will be on reserve in the library. We don't intend to discourage the use of the library, but this will allow the student to bring all the material under discussion to class. Suggestions for additional readings to be found in the library or book store will be provided in the manual."
Prof. Seaver said the course will start next semester with the same novel approach as it did this semester with George Orwell's "1984," and will conclude on a generally more speculative note with selections from Bertrand Russell's "Unpopular Essays."
with which they deal." Prof. Seaver said. "Each of the readings for next semester is considered a classic in its subject."
Readings to be added to next year's program are selections from the writings of Rousseau, Pico, Cellini, Freud, Bacon, Descartes, Nietsche, John Dewey, Hitler, Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell.
"We have tried to weed out the ephemeral readings, those things of marginal importance to the subjects
Readings from this year's program which will be used again next year are selections from Orwell, Condorcet, More, Erasmus, Luther, Calvin, Machiavelli, Newton, Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Malthus, Burke, Paine, Tocqueville, Marx and Engles, Milton, Mill, Darwin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hoover, Douglas and Bronowski.
- Bond was set by the court at $3,000. Woolery had not posted bond at noon today. He was turned over to the Sheriff's office following the arraignment.
Woolley asked for a preliminary hearing at the arraignment. The 20-year-old athlete was not represented by an attorney. Judge Charles Rankin set the hearing for May 22 at 2 p.m.
County Attorney Wayne Allphin Jr., said charges were filed against Woolery late Tuesday after Woolery allegedly seized the woman from Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall Tuesday afternoon.
Sheriff Dale Chappell said this morning, after talking with both the complainant and Woolery, that the woman was standing in the lobby of the dormitory when Woolery grabbed her by the arm and told her to come outside with him.
The woman told a roommate that she (the roommate) was to come outside in five minutes to the car and tell the complainant that she had a long distance phone call.
The roommate later went outside and told the woman in the car that she had a call. Chappell said the woman tried to get out of the car, but that Woolery drove off.
The sheriff's office said this af-
ternoon that David Woolery
posted the $3,000 bond and was
released about 2:30 p.m.
Within a few minutes, five persons, two men and three women, began searching for the car. The car was found west of Lawrence on 15th Street.
Woolery and the complainant were still in the car when the five students arrived, Chappell said. The woman got out of the car when Woolery reached in the back seat for a wooden coat hanger. One of the male students told Woolery to get back to town. Another had a .22 calibre pistol which he pulled on Woolery and told him to leave the scene.
The woman was then brought back to the dormitory, then taken to a doctor.
Apparently Woolery went to Allen Field House where he tried to see Dick Harp, basketball coach, according to Jerry Waugh, golf coach. Mr. Waugh said Woolery left the field house when he could not find Mr. Harp, then returned a second time to talk to Mr. Waugh.
Mr. Waugh said Woolery knocked a few books from his desk after talking a few minutes and then left in a car.
Campus Police Chief Joe Skillman said police were called to the field house by Mr. Waugh, where they apprehended Woolery, who had returned a third time to Mr. Waugh's office. Mr. Waugh said that Woolery gave himself up without a struggle.
Woolery was taken to Watkins Hospital Tuesday afternoon where he was admitted and put under a doctor's care. He was released this morning to Sheriff's officers.
Woolery was a resident of Oread Hall, according to the Registrar's Office.
Men at the hall said this morning that Woolery had not been there since Friday night.
