These people are attracted the person and reputation of ■ Lewis, and by the subject upon !ch he is elaborating; the asso- tion of the two inevitably means ^works. ’rom these discussions, people pe to gain an insight into life [meeting face to face a confirmed stentialist —a role played most ivincingly by Dr. Lewis.

The full accomplishment of s comes by linking yourself with t eternal, not the ten^oral. Re ion today seems to be concerned :h the personification of spiritual ngs, which immediately limits : power and supremeness of a )reme being. lealizing that with only eight sions, there was not enough time us to “delve into the depths” (our own. Dr. Lewis delivered a ssroom lecture at the second onderful Place To End Your Date BAR So. Stratford Road Northside Shopping meeting. Existentialism was de fined as “Existence precedes Es sence”, an already universal ac cepted definition. This means that man stands out of himself before he creates any essences (names) for himself. Or, that nothing is decided, except the past. The fu ture is complete freedom. You de termine your own destiny. Your life is not predestined. Thus, armed with the concepts of eternity and freedom. Dr. Lewis proceeded to realize the relation ship and influence of existential philosophy on the fine arts. First he considered art. Since existent ialism had its beginning in France, French impression, expression, and abstract artists have been most in fluenced by this philosophy. Dr. Lewis pointed out the absolute hor ror, emptiness, and all-consuming presence of some eternal being in Picasso’s “Guernica”, Orozco’s “Dive Bomber and Tank”, and Rousseau’s “The Sleeping Gypsy.” His next lecture will review the literature that has been written under this influence. —Harriet Herring r------- Want To Go When Yon Want To Go CALL Phone PA 2-7121 ?or Designed Hair Cuts—Pin Curl Permanents or Conventional Per manents—False Hair (Pony-tails, Chignons, Buns, etc.) rree Consultation and Advice on any Beauty Problem. 416 Spruce St. 'he Hair Deeignert Phone PA 4-2411 Open Evemngs NEW ASIA RESTAURANT, INC.

South Dorm was aroused this past week by the strains of organ music—but not Mr.’ Mueller’s, this time.

Our Little Chapel took on a matrimonial air this past weekend. Miss Ellen Chamblins and Mr. Clay McCluskey “became one” Saturday afternoon in the little room with the ceiling beams, the hard wood benches, and the aisle with the sudden start. The couple chose to be married in Little Chapel be cause they had recently visited Salem and were so impressed by it. Goat’s milk anyone ? Credit must be given to Martha McClure for her originality in presenting re ports. Last week, in Mr. Wendt’s geography class, Martha presented her topic for discussion — Goats — and followed it up by serving goat’s milk to the class members. Incidentally, goats are a kind of hobby with Martha. She enjoys studying their habits and tracing their movements. Martha enthusi astically stated, “There’s nothing more fascinating in this world— than the goat”. Let me see; there’s the weekly agenda that’s posted in every dorm, the dining room bulletin board.
