Newspaper Jobs Called Exciting
A newspaperman has a front seat in the arena of world events, the executive secretary of International Quill and Scroll said last night.

at two lectures. He is now the director of the Institute of East European Studies at the University of Freiburg, Switzerland.
Last night he spoke on "Religious Discourse is Beyond the Limits of Logic," at a University Lecture in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Professor Bochenski explained that all logic is based on language and discourse. Since there is some type of text, scripture, and creed in every religion, the basic element of logic exists.
"There are three kinds of logic. They are formal logic, methodology, and semantics and it is my contention that the discourse of religion can be applied to all three," Bochenski said.
"There are statements in all religious discourse that the believer designates as true or false. The statements may be wrong, but, if one believes them, the statements are as they believe. These are propositions, and propositions can be applied to logic," Bochenski continued.
He also said that religious discourse is an opening new field in logic, that would provide great opportunity for anyone interested in logic who is a believer.
