Characteristics Of Islam Told By Dr. Ross
Pertinent answers to “What Does Islam Have to Offer” were presented by Dr. Floyd H. Ross at yesterday's YMCA-sponsored Interfaith series lecture in Mudd Memorial hall.
Dr. Ross, professor of church history and world religion, said that Islam's gift of ennobled sensuality is one of its outstanding features.
“The great deal of nobility in Islam can be compared favorably to other religions,” he said. "When the comparison is made between Christianity and Islam, Christianity's bright spots are usually compared to Islam's sore spots. A more objective approach brings out the fact that bcth religions follow logical reasoning in some channels and seem to have shortcomings in others.”
Accepts All Races
Ross said that Islam's acceptance of all races and colors is in contrast to the Christian world's way, wherein race and color lines are drawTri.
“The house of 1:1am is like a huge fraternity house,’’ Dr. Ross said, “where everyone is accepted into the brotherhood as an equal. It is upon this basis of equality that Islam's greatest appeal to other peoples rests.”
This “fraternity hou:e” Islam is constructor ort five pillars conduct for its members, which are (1) confession cf laith and pleage of loyalty, (2) fasting at different periods, (3) performance of prayer, (4) alms-giving to help the poor, and (5) the pilgrimage, in person or by proxy, tO( Mecca at least once in a lifetime.
Not Complicated "The Islamic religion is not a complicated one at all," Dr. Ross said. “It is based on the simple concept that ‘there is no other God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet.’ The great cleveage between Christianity and Islam springs from this statement. Moslems don't recognize Jesus as the son of God because that relationship would have been cau:ed by a physical act which God is aoove. Moslems do not distribute their worship among God, Mary, and Jesus because to them Al.ali is tne one God and he ’begets not and neither is he begotten,’ as it states in the Koran, the Islamic bible.”
Koran Is ‘Word’
The Koran is the word of Mohammed passed down verbally and finally written many years alter Mohammed’s death. It includes 5.x articles of belief to which the Moslems profess:
1. Allah is the one God. He is not characterized by phys.cal things.
2. L'Jief in Angels, who as Dr. Ross pointed out "have various departmental duties In the different degrees of Islamic heaven or paradise.”
3. Belief in cacred books, such as the Laws cf Moses, gospel of Jesus as a prophetic work, and other writings of prophets.
4. Belief in pfophets. Mohammed was the greatest and delivered his word, which was by divine calling, to all peoples. Jesus and Mo:es carried their messages to select groups.

Opportunities In Religion To Be Told
A man whose religious convictions have been carried from the trenches of World War I to missionary duty in China and finally to the position as dean of the School of Religion will talk tomorrow on “Careers in Religion.’'
Earl Cranston, der.n of the School of Religion, will speak in the LAS professional advisement series at 3:15 p.m. in 129 Founders hall.

Election Returns Poor
As Scant 625 Vote
by Nic k j'ifople
‘Annual spring student body balloting go t off to both a late and slow start yesterday in Alumni park is approximately 625 Trojans trickled through the elections area. Voting will continue today and tomorrow from 9, a. m. to 4 p.m.
Elections Commissioner Jim Schuck was disappointed in the poor showing of the more than. 10,000 eligible voters. Last year at this time some 1250 students went to the polls in a much more spirited cam-
paign waged by Unity, “Free-Greek,” and “TNE” forces.
The polls were opened an hour and 10 minutes behind schedule yesterday morning because of a lack of workers from the contesting parties and because of a delayed arrival of booths, tables, and other material for the balloting center.
To complicate matters three yell king candidates were declared ineligible at the last minute and their names had to be inked off the ballots by hand. Dealt the axe were Al Gallion (TRG), Bob Imel (Unity), and Mel Baron.
Schuck said the trio did not have enough units to run. The deficiency apparently was not noticed when their eligibility was checked early last week.
Malik, Bedi Protest
His announcement brought a storm of protests from the candidates and from M. S. Malik and Mohender Bedi. The latter pair plan to protest the move on grounds the ASSC constitution stipulates that a candidate must possess a 1.0 grade point and be certified by a selection committee. There is no reference to units in the constitution. they argue.

A member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Stewart thinks hazing is on the way out and will be replaced by constructive enterprises.
Sophomore IR major Pete McDermott of Acacia fraternity believes that hazing will be completely gone from the college scene in two or three more years. "Service projects to benefit the community will take their place. This is a part of the maturing of student attitude.
Frivolity is vanishing in the face of the world’s uncertain conditions.” Tiegs Talks

Sports Help
"I feel that the athletic emphasis in college today has done muc.h to mature and discipline college students, particularly athletes.” states Bill Careswell. athletic equipment superintendent. “Sports take much of the drabness from college and the recreation afforded allows students to work harder when it is necessary.”
“When a fellow is looking forward to going to war or when a girl expects her male to be marching off any day, it makes for a more realistic and sober approach to college.” says senior journalism student Tony Derry. “Romanticism is gone.”
Who Says So?
One freshman engineering student who prefers to remain anonymous stated, “I’ll go along with all that except the part about college students being more (hie) sober these days. It just ain’t so.”
AMS Awards To Be Given
Highlight of the annual AMS men's recognition assembly will be the presentation of the “Order of the Palm" award to the outstanding male graduate. Thursday, 7:15 p.m, Bovard auditorium.

Besides choosing the recipient of the "Order of the Palm" award, the selections committee will choose five graduating seniors and the outstanding campus organization to receive distinguished service awards.
Awards also will be presented to outstanding athletes by Willis O. Hunter, director of intercollegiate athletics.
New members will be “tapped” cr named for Squires, Knights, and Blue Key. Skull and Dagger, alluniversity men's honorary, will name its “tappees” also.
Ken Shanks, interfratemity counselor, will emcee the affair.
“With 2000 twenty-five cent tickets out, double the amount sold last year, and the enthusiasm which is accompanying current sales, this year's carnival Is expected to be the most successful yet," said Miss Troy.
Tomorrow’s deadline will determine the three winners who will be awarded beach towels donated by Rose Marie Reid swim suits.
Although fraternities are selling tickets, they are not taking part in the contest. Their money must be in by tomorrow afternoon at 5. Frank Sortino's 4-piece combo
