WG ages pacific I our arrow nere I OOI9I ml n n El" I VOL. I, Board Slams Door Of Office Space Bill A bill proposing the prohibition of political parties sharing office space with the Elections Board was soundly defeated Monday afternoon by the Summer School Student Government Board. The bill was authored and introduced by Dewey Sheffield, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. It was defeated by a 6-1 vote, with only Sheffield supporting it. In arguing against the passage of the bill, which would be in effect only for the summer session, Secretary-Treasurer Hank Pat terson pointed out that since the Elections Board was not in operation during the summer, the bill was virtually meaningless. He also stated that it was unfairly discriminatory against those few political party members who were forced to use the Elections Board office during the summer because of a scarcity of office space in Graham Memorial. The Elections Board office is located on the second floor of Graham Memorial. jiUfl(p ' - By SUSAN LEWIS ' "Religion is the answer to the ultimate questions," James Finn, associate editor of Commonweal, a leading Catholic periodical, told an audience Monday night in Gerrard Hall. He was sponsored by the YM YWCA as a climax of their sum mer program. "Religion must be seen as a means, not as an end," Finn con tinued. "It provides a vision of man and his totality; its function is to criticize and transform each of the manifestations of secular offenses." Giving a snort history of church and state, he cited the First Amendment as "an occasion for rejoicing" and stated that "the American experience, not the theorizing, has convinced others that there is something unique here." Finn maintained that we exist in America with our different religious beliefs "not as well as we could or should" and that "our surface of tolerance actual ly covers a depth of misunder standing and real disagreement." "The U. S. is now a nation of minority religions," he said, "in which Protestants and Catholics have become opponents. Most of us have such allegience to our own beliefs that we have little sympathy with that which differs from us." "We must learn to speak to the conditions of the listener," Finn appealed with a Quaker saying. "We are content with the little we know, with our re ligious illiteracy. We should make understanding our proximate goal and agreement our distant goal." "We must attempt to discover why we disagree," Finn con cluded. "We must make the point of disagreement the hinge upon which to fasten understanding and to reach ultimate agreement" The Woman's College Pacific Tour Company, now looking ahead to late summer travels to Hawaii, Japan, and various island, will present "The Women" here today 8:15 p.m. Memorial Hall.
