Troy to See British Satire
By CATHY MORGAN
“Beyond tlie Fringe,” the comedy hit of London and New York, will be presented in Bovard Auditorium Nov. l(i at 8 p.m.
“Beyond the Fringe” is a topical revue with 23 black-out skits lampooning personalities, politics, pundits. and playwrights.

Ministerto Define Church s Mission
Rev. Dave Lehmberg, Methodist campus minister, will discuss the nature and the mission of the church at the Wesley Foundation meeting tonight at 6.
The talk will be the second in a series of three discussions on “The Meaning of Being a Man of Faith in the 20th Century.”
The foundation's weekly program will meet at the Wesley Lounge. 817 W. 34th St.
Rev. Lehmberg s talk is entitled. “Mission. Misery or Monkey-Business.” “It seems that the ideas most students have about the church do not correlate with the true nature and mission of the church.” Rev. Lehmberg said. This seems to be true in local parishes as well, where most church mambers look upon their congregation as some sort of Christian country club.
This is not in harmony
i with the doctrine of the church as being the gathering and scattering community that God calls into history to bend the course of history.’ ”
He will also point out that the gap between the church’s call to faith and its response is wide and is getting wider.
“Just look at the recent election,” he said. “Every major Christian demonina-tion went on record as opposing Proposition 14, and many actively campaigned to make their members aware of the moral issues involved.
But Proposition 14 would not have passed if scores of these same church members had not supported it.

For many. Dr. J. Wesley Robb, dean of the School of Religion and consistently one of the most popular professors on campus, needs little introduction.
The ever-increasing enrollment in his classes and the frequent requests he receives to speak before campus groups testify to students’ esteem for him.
A native of Los Angeles, he may be unique because he can boast having attended the nearby 32nd Street School.
His parents’ professions are a clue to his present position, for his father was a clergyman and his mother a college instructor in Latin and Greek.
MA Degree
He obtained his master of theology degree at USC in 1945. Dr. Robb left the campus and entered the Navy as a chaplain, serving first at the Naval Hospital in San Diego. The following year, duty on a troop transport took him to China and Japan.
He won a $4,000 Ford Foundation Fellowship in 1951 and returned to USC to complete his dissertation. He earned; his PhD from the School of Philosophy in 1952.

Final Oat For Class Drops Set
The last day to withdraw from a class without penalty is Friday, Nov. 20. Registrar D. W. Evans said yesterday.
Evans also announced thatj mid-term report cards will bej available lo the student body beginning tomorrow.
There reports list unsatisfactory undergraduate grades received prior to Nov. 7. The reports also list all classes for which the student is registered and all program changes made before Oct. 23.

| termed a screen novelist by critics. Dr. Young feels that this term limits Bergman’s ! talent.
“Ingmar Bergman is sometimes called the leading novelist of the screen, but this is the smallest of his virtues. This is a rather uninformed use of this term.
“While it’s true that Bergman deals with situations and themes that would concern a novelist, the way in which he j expresses thees ideas is unique both to the film industry and to himself."
Dr. Young's lecture replaces “The Silence,” one of Bergman's films which was previously scheduled to be shown tonight.
“Silence” Canceled
The Episcopalian - Luther-an-Presbyterian (ELP) Center, which has sponsored the Bergman films, wras unable to obtain “The Silence,” since it is not yet available in 16mm.
Rev. Mr. James Leovy, Episcopalian campus pastor, said that when “The Silence” is released in 16 milimeter, the ELP Center will get the film and show it on campus. I
Betinis also answered Senator Brooke Gabrielson’s charges that Betinis will be close to being a dictator if the Senate is abolished.
“Such anxiety is unfounded for the following reasons,”
Betinis said. “First, the Senate has no power anyway—

Navy Missile Display to Feature Sidewinder, Terrior on Campus
The United States Navy will exhibit two operational missiles, the Sidewinder and the Terrior, on campus today.
Recruiting personnel will also be present to answer any questions about a Navy career or about the exhibit itself.
The Sidewinder is an air-to-air weapon designed to destroy high performance enemy fighters and bombers. The missile weighs about 155 pounds and requires no specialized technical training to handle and assemble it.
This is the only United i States air-to-air missile in
production for use by foreign countries. It is also the first guided missile to have destroyed an enemy aircraft under actual combat conditions. Chinese nationalists successfully used the weapon during the Quemoy crisis in 1958.
Another operational missile, the Terrior, is longer and heavier than the Sidewinder. Weighing about 1.5 tons, the Terrior can be used on ships or for beach-head operations with the Marine Corps. Shipboard missiles are selected automatically from a rack
and loaded on the launcher. The launcher then automatically elevates and fires the missile.
Today, guided missile cruisers. destroyers, and frigates are armed with Terrior missiles.
The Navy exhibit is part of Armed Forces Week, designed to give people a better understanding of the armed services.
Thursday, the Marines wil^ demonstrate karate and their Marine weapons. Friday, the Air Force will show its jet fighter-intercepto^s.
