Religion, philosophy in need of retooling to be theme of talk
“Implementing Religion for eace” will be the subject of r. Paul H. Helsel, professor f philosophy, in his speech to ie philosophy forum this af-^rnoon at 4:15 in Bowne hall.
Declaring that religion view-d in terms of its present out-mes betrays a mixture, Dr. elsel said, “Religion reveals ie presence of increments gathered historically, from a variety of urces, the most of which were not emselves religious.
-Accretions from non-religion* oarces have contributed »o eo-rtly, and yet so effectively, to he subjection of religion to hurt manipulation and to the nsformation of It into a man-able instrument of personal d social denomination, that now last the surprising non-relig-s accumulations are commonly Id to comprise real religion,” Dr. Isel said.

Big top motif to keynote gala Commerce dig
Clowns, concessions, venders, and Al Gayle's orchestra will provide a circus atmosphere for the first all-U dig of the term to be held in the Student Lounge from 7:30 to 11 Friday night under the auspices of the College of Commerce. Decorations and entertainment
will carry out the top theme. Sororities will be in charge of booths, selling typical circus refreshments of ice cream and hot dogs,
Vet^pins of campus are planning the entertainment. Arrangements for the orchestra and music are being handled by the fraternities.
The informal gaiety of .the circus is planned to welcome the veterans to the campus and introduce them to the officials and students of SC.
“Everyone is working very hard on the plans for the dig,” commented Jackie Boice. ASSC vice-president and dance committee member, "and we hope all veterans. naval trainees, civilian men, and women come for a gala time.” All sororities having desserts Friday are asked to finish their festivities by 7:15 p.m. so they may attend the dig.
Anyone having suggestions or ideas for the success of the dig is asked to contact Bob Anderson, president of the College of Commerce, or Miss Boice.
Dorothy Reed is chairman of the . dig. Working on her committee are ! Dusty Rhodes, Vic Harris, Miss Boice, Ruby Ann Harbeson. and Ray Carpenter.
Pledges of sororities not working ' in the booths will work on the | cleanup committee.
Rodee, Baker believe freedom not imperiled; to argue issue tonight
One of the major controversial issues of today, “Is the Bill of Rights in Jeopardy?” will be the topic for discussion tonight at 9:30 on radio station KFI’s weekly program, “The American Way.”
Two members of the SC staff, Dr. Carlton Rodee, head of the political science department, and Alonzo Baker, teaching assistant in political science and general studies, will deny that the Bill of Rights is in danger.
Their opponents will be Joe Crail, well known Los Angeles political leader and president of the j West Coast Federal Savings and Loan association, and Jack Hardy, Los Angeles barrister and national head of the new veterans organization, Amvets.
Mr. Crail, who is also head of the southern California league to preserve the Bill of Rights, and Mr. Hardy are expected to contend that the chief thing in jeopardy is the right of property or, to be more explicit, the right to hold and control property in any way an individual desires.
Mr. Baker, who regularly appears on the program, said that the essence of Mr. Crail’s and, Hi . Hardy’s contentions is expected to be substantially that of Frederich • Hayek, author of “Road to Serfdom.” Remarking on Hayek’s book, Mr. Baker stated that one of the basic ideas in “Road to Serfdom” is that government control of almost any kind must terminate in collectivist economy with resultant loss of all rights.
Dr. Rodee and Mr. Baker will endeavor to prove that the rights ac-i corded by the first 10 amendments, which are now referred to as the ! Bill of Rights, have been more pro-i tected during war years than at any previous period in American history.
“The American Way” is fcffoad-cast every Tuesday night at 9:30 and features well-informed, prominent public figures speaking on the more important social and political trends.
