Robb Will Tell View cf Faith In Our Time
Dr. J. Wesley Robb, head of the department of religion, will I deliver Ihe sermon at the non- | denominational Christian wor- , ship service at 11 a.m. Sunday | in Bovard Auditorium.
In his talk, “Interpreting Re- j ligion in Our Time,” Dr. Robb , will analyze the modern world's ! outlook on religion.
“The stereotype of religion as j dogmatic, exclusive and authoritarian is not without justification,” believes Dr Robb.
Forgets 400 Years He feels that glancing at the church pages of any newspaper or a casual listening to religious broadcasts will indicate that j most of the religion being ad-vocated is unmindful of the Copernican, Darwinian and scientific revolutions of the past ; 400 years.
Naive Religion This unavvareness, Dr. Robb says, is perpetrating a naive kind of religion in a world that i ; is radically different from Ihe time when our religious heritage was originated.
“We tend to magnify the litoral ist ic approach to religion of a day gone by and have tried to force this approach into the patterns of modern thought. Somehow it does not work.” he feels.
Expose Traditions Dr. Robb holds that the interpreter of religion must expose the development of traditions to his subjects, so the forms of thought and expression of the various periods of history will be made clear to his audience.
"No man can understand, for er.ample. the debates of the Councils of 1ho Church unless he understands ihe mind of the particular period in history in which the creeds developed,’’ he believes.
Kellys Fog-Voiced Jupiter Keeps 'Amphitryon' Alive
Lives of Guilty And Innocent Asked Spared
By MIKE ROBINSON
There are two tables standing outside the Student Union today. At one, students are signing their names to give blood. At the other students are signing their names to save blood, the blood of prisoners condemned to be executed.
I The same operation is being performed by student groups j outside Founders Hall — one j urging students to give blood,
I the other asking them to save ! blood, but both with the aim of saving lives.
At the table for the Blood Drive there is little conversation, only comments such as, “Where I do I sign?” and “Is it really
I painless?”
Heated Debates
At the table where the crusade against capital punishment I is goin" on, there are healed debales laking place.
Sentences here are ended with I exclamation points, not question I marks.
Bv the end of yesterday’s : campaign. 230 people had signed to give blood. Four hundred and thirty more are required to meet the goal.
Meanwhile. 293 students have signed the petition to abolish capital punishment, though thousands more will be required to sway the state legislature— the ideal goal of this campaign.
No Moral Question There was no question of morals involved with blood donations, so there was no argument, j But in speaking against capital punishment, Dave Allsvvang j argued, “We expect many more signatures than have been ob- I tained for the Chessman peli- ! tion because the moral issue of capital punishment involves no j
controversy over a sjiecific crime.”
Steve Feldman, chairman of the Blood Drive, limited his plea to, “We need 430 more signatures ... at least.”
The campaign to save lives— I of the innocent and of the guilty —-continues today.

Professor Warns Against Obsolescence in America
By MT V BISS Assistant to the Editor
Americans who cling to antiquated social and political institutions present a dangerous
threat to the health of a free society, an SC professor declared at yesterday’s Phi Beta Kappa initiation.
Dr. Carl Q. Christol, professor of international law and political science, told fraternity members and initiates that conditions of American life are subject to many outmoded institutions and a marked lack of change.
“It may l>e lhat Americans at
large are particularly dangerous because, in a generic sense, they don’t know or don’t admit how7 I

'obsolete and truly outmoded j some of their favorite institutions really are,” he said, lie held that in a free society j individuals must be oriented to • freely and intelligently cope with ! problems created by the ever-1 present forces of change.
“Each generation is confronted with its own standards of excellence, and today it is clear that we may not be satisfied with the product of our forebearers. It is our responsibility to excel them,” he maintained. I Dr. Christol pointed to areas j of specific concern which he drew from professional experience in law and government.
Affectiveness of Cities As his first example he cilcd | the effectiveness of cities, which ! he called “too little and too late.”
“Cities, In terms of meeting the wide ranging and ever increasing needs of a metropolitan community, are presently the dark and primitive continent of American political studies,” he said.

Like life, “Amphitryon 38,” j which opened last night in Bovard Auditorium, was full of the ! bad and the good.
The very best was the acting I of Richard Kelly as Jupiter, king of ihe gods who finds the human Alkmene too fascinating and too faithful. Kelly was like Jackie I Leonard — foggy voiced, loud,
J and as funny as Lady Astor on horseback.
John C. Blankenchip’s scenery and costumes provided a gorgeous setting for a play which didn't quite seem to merit its finery. As high comedy, Girau-doux's story of the problems of fidelity soared a bit too high and the thinness of outer space brought on periods of lethargy. Good Direction The fault was not in Dr. Herbert M. Stahl’s direction —-pacing, positioning and all else that is in the realm of the dramatic helmsman seemed very good. The trouble, then, was in the play itself and some of the performance.
There were times throughout the play when it seemed that Ray Oden as Amphitryon might put some expression into his performance, but solidity was more triumphant than virtue.
Pretty Alkmena Kitty Farren played Alkmena like the Empress Catherine— He added that so long as cities heavy voiced, sophisticated, and in a metropolitan area refuse funny for what she made of it to consolidate their functions as melodrama. However, Alk-and efforts properly the institu- mena might have been so much

Most people will agree with Whilman when he evaluated Lincoln in terms of what ihe country would have been like had he never lived, he said.
“Shortly after Whilman published his historic poetry on the Civil War, “Drum-Taps,” he be-.;«ii to t-ive lectures oil Ihe life and death of Lincoln.
“T hese lectures originated when an article of his on Lincolns death i
ter appearing in a New York metropolitan. And thereafter he continued to give talks on Lincoln until his death in 1892,” the collector said.
For Whitman, the famous president w as “an incarnation of the spirit of democracy.” As he says in "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd,” Lincoln was “the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night.” whom he “mourn’d, and vet shall mourn with ever-returning spring,” he pointed out.

“The poel always felt Lincoln was 'my particular man, belonged particularly to me’ and also felt that he particularly belonged to Lincoln.
"I think critics and historians agree that they both belonged to each other and to America,” Feinberg concluded.

Today’s Weather
Lit lie change in temperature was predicted today, following yesterday’s high of 64. High for reived acclaim at- j today will be about 67 degrees.
SC’s Indian Students Association will present their first program of the spring semester and show an Indian film drama tonight at 7:30 in 133 FH, reports Surendra Mathur, publicity i chairman for the association.
Mathur said that Ihe film dra-> ma, “Nava Daur,” is about an Indian village’s reaction to the effects of mechanization.
The film is about two friends living in a peaceful village of Karanpur, which is located in the Valley of the Hills and is 1he first stop to the sacred temple of Shiva.
Tonga-walas, Wood-cutters
The villagers are rugged, simple men and women, who depend on their jobs as tonga-walas and wood-cutters for the mill-owner for their livelihood.
The son of the mill-owner returns to the village with some modern machinery that threatens the villager's jobs.
There is also a romance angle in the film which spurs the rivals of girl to devious schemes.
A challenge is issued to the villagers for ihe purpose of determining whether the manual or mechanical power is faster.
Faced with this prospect, the villagers team together in a community effort to match the mechanical speed with their manual power, which leads to a happy conclusion.
Native Dances
Some of the highlights of 1he film are the “Bhangra,” a native folk dance of the Indian state of Punjab, a.id native folk music. Mathur said.
The film stars Vvjantimala, a famous Indian movie star ami classical dancer, and Dilip Kumar, one of the leading actors ; of the Indian screen, said Ma- | thur.
Admission to the film is 50 cents for members of the association and a charge of ?1 for non-members. The public is in- j vited to attend the show, said Mathur.
Some of the other activities I scheduled for the semester are social gatherings, discussions and celebration festivities of India’s independence, Mathur said.
The purpose of the association is to pr mote understanding and friendship between the Indian students and other students on the SC campus. Mathur said.
Hillel to Open Welfare Drive

tion of municipal government in a metropolitan community must lie regarded as “completely and I hopelessly outmoded.”
Dr. Christol explained his belief that public education is another malfunctioning and somewhat outmoded governmental institution.
Competing Interests
“Between the competing in-! terests of a soviet of school superintendants and coed cookery, local public education has I j too long subscribed to the cult i of mediocrity,” he remarked.
The professor also gave the j separation of powers in govern-!
I ment, the electoral college and j labor-management strikes as ; examples of additional obsolete institutions in the United States.
In the joint area of national and international affairs, he at- | tacked claims of sovereignty and the inalienable rights of sovereigns.
Extreme Manifestations
“Manifestations of extreme sovereignty and extreme nationalism are and ought to be re- j garded as outmoded. Affirmatively, this world’s rising demands for ‘togetherness’ spell doom for such institutions,” he said.
Dr. Christol pointed out that these and other outmoded institutions, the product of man's “fallibility and inadequacy,” ought to be eliminated.
He added that new and better institutions would bring cultural and material benefits to man in the form of opportunity and possibly’ peace.

Bruce Johnson was a good enough Mercury, saddled however with over-long sentences which he couldn't pass off with the required celestial urbanity.
Good Support
Bright in the evening w ere performances of several secondary characters. Evelyn Q. Biddle, drama department secretary’, played an effervescent Leda. Jupiter's late conquest, full of expression and charm.
Richard Miailovich gave an eloquent proclamation of peace that brought applause from the audience. Jerold Dorter achieved musical heights as the “Poor-Johnny-One-Note” town trumpeter, and brought more hilarity with his windy wheeze on his second blow than on his flaccid first blast.
Rudy Ye jar stomed on the stage and entertained all as a professional warrior, and Nancy Simmons, Melissa Murphy and the voice of Madra Sanders provided pretty background.
Technically, the play was excellent. Only the lighting of the first act disturbed — the night before seemed brighter and more orange than lhe morning after.
“Amphitryon 38,” based loosely on an ancient legend, tells of the fascination of Jupiter with the earthbound Alkmena.

Public Views Replica Of Monorail Station
A model of a main monorail staiion designed for Los Angeles is on display in 103 HH from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday and until noon on Saturday.
Also on display in the industrial design exhibit will be the products designed and constructed by third and fourth year industrial design students.
The display, shown in the exhibit room of the School of Architecture, will be held until March 4.
The monorail station was designed by Hendrik de Kanter. graduate student in industrial design from the Netherlands.
De Kanter, designed the model j station as his thesis for the MA ! degree.
The model station was design- j ed lo handle 50,000 persons ¡>er j hour. The bus capacity would be 14 per minute.
These buses would arrive at
Iheir passengers around a revolving circular first floor, which would be 270 feet in diameter.
The second floor of the four-story station would handle the north-south traffic.
Monorail traffic going east-west. would be handled on the third floor.
A heliport and general control tower would lie on the top of the station to supervise all the incoming and outgoing monorail traffic.
According to de Kanter. the station would be located at the four-level interchange of the freeways.
The model station has been shown to the Metropolitan Transit Authority through the engineering firm of Dahiel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall, consultants to ihe MTA.
The other part of the Industrial design exhibit includes the products designed by the third
| the station to load and unload i and fourth year design students.
