Coffer, Crane
Publish Work
On Attitudes
Mr. Henry Coffer, professor of
religion at Meredith, in connection
wiih Dr. William E. Crane, coun
seling pastor at the Second Presby
terian Church in Knoxville, Ten
nessee, has finished a Religious
Attitudes Inventory which will be
published around the end of the
year. Dr. Gellalo McHugh, professor
of psychology at Duke University
and a family life expert who has pre
viously published counseling helps,
served as the psychological ad
visor.
This Religious Attitudes Inven
tory is designed as a counseling aid
to ministers and other religious
counselors. It is not a test, but a
device to help the counselor find
the areas in which the person wants
or needs counseling.
It should also help the counselor
express his beliefs and perhaps
stimulate him to reach beliefs in
previously unexarained areas.
it Is composed of 107 items that
span the general attitudes toward
religion, reduced from some 3,-
000 to 5,000 statements obtained
through questionnaires from college
students, church congregations, and
other such groups. The work is
accompanied by a manual which
explains the history of the inven
tory and suggests some helps in
using the inventory for counseling.
Meredith Helped in Revision
While this inventory was being
worked into final form, it was given
tu freshmen and upperclassmen
here at Meredith. Their responses
were useful to the authors in their
revision. It has also been given by
the psychology department at the
University of Tennessee.
Other than pastoral counseling,
this inventory could be used In mar
riage counseling to help two peo
ple discover for themselves their at
titudes toward religion, in church
groups to stimulate discussion, in
a college religion department to dis
cover students’ attitudes, and in a
church congregation to enable the
minister to find areas for sermon
coverage.

For its preniiere performance, the

has chosen ANTIGONE by Jean
Anouilh.
The play will run for three con
secutive weekends, November 7-8,
14-16 and 19-21 at 8:00 p.m.
The original story Is Greek my
thology, and Sophocles wrote his
play over 2,000 years ago, parallel
ing a Greek revolution. Anouilh
wrote his play under the stress and
indignity of the German Occupa
tion of France in 1943. Even though
the play had to pass German cen
sorship, Anouilh ingeniously wove
the story of ANTIGONE, Ihe
martyr who refused to agree with
a way of life in which she was
promised happiness, provided that
she would agree not to intervene in
anything that did not concern her
material existence, thus making her
the symbol for all Frenchmen re
jecting the German "New Order”
with its promise of prosperity, pro
vided the French people agreed to
surrender their spiritual independ
ence. The story is timeless, for it is
not just about dictatorship and re
ligious belief, but about man’s basic
Inability lo understand and com
municate with his fellow man.
The play, under the direction of
Charles Stilwill, has modern setting
and costumes and will be played
I in three-quarter round in the
Thompson flexible theatre. The
