Religion Has
Normal Place
Chaplain Gives View
? .
Dr. Murchison Finds Religious
Attitude Of Students
Entirely Sound
By Louise Edwards
"The religious attitude of the rank
and file of the students who have come
into my observation has been quite
normal," declared the -Rev. Dr. Hugh
R. Murchison, chaplain of the University
and head of the department of
| Bible.
"While we have individuals and
l\ small groups who undergo mental
changes in their attitude toward our
conccption of religion," he explained,
"the majority of the student body remain
contented with the religious
views of their home churches."
Dr. Murchison said that most of
those whom he had observed drifting
away settled down in later life to the
beliefs of their childhood.
"It is difficult to make the chapel
service as spiritually helpful as we
would like," Dr. Murchison stated,
"because it is held among so many
activities of the day. Yet we feel that
a short assembling of ourselves in
recognition of the presence of God on
pur campus is of much greater^ benefit
than it would at first seem.
"Students make a big mistake when
they rebel against what they call compulsory
attendance, as though it were
an effort to force religious opinions
upon them.
"We are required to attend to all
our University duties in order to carry
out a system of instruction in a well
organized manner. Chapel attendance
should be looked upon as one of these
duties."

Symphony
Orchestra
Will Play
Final Concert Of Year To Be
Given In University Chapel
Thursday, May 19
The last concert for the year of the
University Symphony orchestra,
Madame Felice de Horvath, conductor,
will be given at the chapel
thursday evening May 19, at 8:30.
The final rehearsals arc being held
this week and the orchestra is promising
an evening of the finest music
that has been attempted here.
This concert was to have come during
National Music week but on account
of illness a postponement was
necessary.
Soloists for the evening will be Mrs.
Robert LaFaye, soprano, and Miss
Rachel Little, pianist. Miss Little will
play Mendelssohn's Capriccio Brillant
with orchestra accompaniment.
The orchestra is attempting something
new in this concert?the
modernistic Sakuntala Overture by
Coldmark. This selection is based on
an old Hindu legend. It represents a
funeral march of a soldier of the
Caucasus. It is weird and truly
modernistic in every sense of the
word, yet it cannot be classed with
the brassy blasts with no rythm that
are so often misjudged as modern
music.
The other numbers of the concert
will he Cortege du Scrdare by Ippolitow-Iwanow
and the popular
Schubert's Unfinished Symphony.
As usual the concert will be free and
a cordial invitation is extended the
public.

Scarey Ride
Boy Tells Of Experience With
Wounded Man While HitchHiking
Home
"Bumming rides can at times become
very dangerous business," emphatically
declared a prominent member
of the student body, who for
reasons of his own desires that his
name remain a secret.
"Not long ago, I was stranded in a
little country town 011 my way home.
Darkness overtook me and, as I was
dead broke, I began to wonder what
I should do.
"Suddenly a large car drove up
beside me and a harsh voice grated
'git in, buddy!'
I got in and we had ridden several
miles when the man stopped the car
and ordered me to drive. As I changed
places with him I noticed what appeared
to be a fresh bullet wound in
his shoulder.
"I gave an involuntary start and
would have gotten out but my companion
produced an ugly looking
pistol and ordered me to drive on.
"You can imagine my feeling of relief
when I was finally permitted to
leave the car about a mile from my
destination. I am afraied I forgot to
thank my benefactor for the ride."

5 Vary Widely
Men Prefer Women
Choice Ranges From Cigarettes
And Candy To Automobiles
And Radios
By Genevieve Reynolds
Contrary to the belief that student
luxuries arc expensive, answers to the
Question: "If you were cast away on
a deserted island and could never return
to civilization or have contact
with the outside world and could have
only one luxury, what would you
take," shows that they arc natural
and inexpensive.
Allen Ashley: "I would take a
woman for she is the most amusing
and pleasing luxury any one could
have."
Anne Belser prefers "a feather bed,
for comfortable sleeping is the choicest
of luxuries."
C. B. Felder's choice is also a
woman "for they are so changeable
that they always keep one interested."
Edythe Carlisle believes in perpetual
sweetness as she said, "I would take
candy and plenty of it."
Leah Zeigler and Bonnie Kate
Barnes would take a good-working
radio.
Frank Gibbes: "I would take an old
automobile that could run without
gas."
Ruth Wellman: "I would take Chesterfield
cigarettes and then I could be
happy."
Claude Martin: "Sincc a woman is a
necessity, I'd take a radio."
Doris Stokes: "I would take books
of different types." ("Robinson Crusoe?")
Henry Herbert Crosland: "I'd take
a dictaphone that would record my
musings aloud and play them back to
me so I could better understand myself
and finally leave them to Buster
Rowe and Fuzzy Freeman when they
too are banished to the island."
Margaret Lane would take a piano
so that she could express her changing
moods effectively.
Ed Mann: "I would want a long distance
radio, minus static."
