The Belles of Saint Mary’s March 12, 19^* Rabbi Feuer Speaks On Judaism Beliefs Explains Jewish Religion As Spiritual Welfare of Group What the Jews Believe was the topic of the talk by Rabbi Maurice Feuer from Ohebshoelum (Peace Loving) Synagogue, Goldsboro, in the Saint Mary’s auditorium Tues day morning. Sent by the Jewish Chautauque Society of Cincinnati, Rabbi Feuer has spoken to sev eral schools in this vicinity to bet ter acquaint college students with the beliefs of his people. Rabbi Feuer lirst explained that the Jewish religion was a religion of the group, its primary concern being the spiritual welfare of the group. It also is a religion of this life, teaching no systematic sys tem of salvation. The central idea of the Jewish religion is One Holy God whose kingdom will be established at the end of time. They believe in direct relationship between God and man. Believing in Divine Revelation, modern Jewish belief is based on a scientific study of the Ten Com mandments. The Jews also be lieve in God’s moral government of the universe and believe justice is the main ethical motive of the individual. Rabbi Feuer stressed that his people were anticipating the com ing of an ideal era for mankind. At this time all nations will be brought together under a common banner and mercy and peace wjU prevail. While many doctrines and the ologies are different, ethically and morally the Christian and Jew have much in common. These common moi’al beliefs are much more important than the theologi cal differences, Rabbi Feuer con cluded.

The belles have progressed from having to have a life and death excuse to view a male from twenty feet surrounded _ by chaperones, to just signing in a little book and walking off the campus— alone with a boy! Recently a friend of a member of Saint Mary’s faculty found this ex cerpt from the diary of a Confeder ate lieutenant -. . . . As we passed the female seminary in Ra leigh the beautiful school girls greet ed us warmly. Each one had a pitcher of water and a goblet. We drank, took their addresses, and had a big time.” Time certainly has not changed Saint Mary’s girls’ attitudes toward the opposite sex. Any excuse, in war or peace, to see a man! Unless changes are made, this year’s sophomore class, as cus tomary at Saint Mary’s, will grad uate in Avhite dresses. At the sug gestion of some staff members, BELLES reporters have question ed students as to whether they think the graduates should wear caps and gowns. Here you have student opinion. The next move is up to you. Lucille Best, sophomore: If ar rangements with the faculty can be made, I think we should be al lowed to graduate in caps and gowns since it is our first real graduation. 1 do think, however, that there should be some distinc tion from the seniors, such as a difference in color. Nancy Williamson, senior: High school graduation is one of the most important events in a girl’s life and should have more em phasis than it gets here. Many girls do not come back to Saint Mary’s for their first two years of college and unless they wear caps and gowns as sophomores, they have no real graduation from Saint Mary’s. Dianne Guess, freshman: I think sophomores should wear caps and gowns or Avhite formals. Meredith Plant, junior: Caps and gowns signify graduation so graduates should be allowed to wear them. Peggy Williams, junior: This'Sj one distinction that high scho« i graduates deserve. Nancy Spoolman, junior: Cap*I and gowns are an accepted P®’ of graduation, and the sophoiuoh* should wear them. Anne Willingham, senior: graduation is associated caps ai' gowns. Without them an imp®' taut part of the exercise is ing.

Yes indeed, the belles should cer tainly take advantage of this year, the year out of four in which they have the opportunity to “snow” the one and only. It does seem unfair that a girl’s chance to snare the one she wants comes only at quarterly intervals. However, the time is probably un evenly divided because, of course, a girl can accomplish in a year more than a man can accomplish in three. At least, that’s what gals think and as long as they have that self-confi dence, brothers beware! For a long time men just laughed at Leap Year and its significance, but this year they seem to have ac cepted it at its true value. This really gives a long-awaited chance to many a Sadie Hawkins. Now’s your chance, girls! You don’t have to be coy, shy, or feminine now. You can use your own schemes and tech niques. Here’s wishing the females suc cess, and hoping that their oppon- .ents never underestimate the power of woman! “When you interviewed me last year, I told you I was scared to death, and I’m afraid the same thing is true now.” Thus began our inter view with William Masselos, the pianist who so thrilled Saint Mary’s students in his concert March 4. Since his concert here February 20, 1947, Mr..Masselos has given a Carnegie Hall concert, a Carnegie Chamber Hall recital, and has won the prize for the outstanding young pianist of the year given by the Federation of Music Clubs. His Carnegie Hall concert, he says, was modern and extreme. His selections were divided into two groups, and the concert was adver tised as two programs in one night. Those who like only the old classics could go for only the first part, and those who preferred the contempo rary could go for the last part. Those who like both, however, were welcome to attend the complete con cert. This idea, Mr. Masselos told us, is relatively new. One of his most interesting con certs—one in which he shared hon ors with an Armenian girl, was given recently. The two pianists played the compositions of John Cage, for mer conductor of an Oriental Per cussion Orchestra. By “preparing” the pianos by the insertion of coins, nuts, bolts, screws, and other things into the strings, Mr. Cage made the pianos sound like the Oriental in struments. “The audience at that concert were really more interesting to look at than we were,” Mr. Masselos said. “Because the program was a new trend in modern music, many long haired musicians and artists were there.” “Give us all the vital statistics,” begged the girls who so eagerly “mobbed” Mr. Masselos. after the concert. His father was born in Greece; his mother was born in Holland, and he was born in Niagara Falls. From 1930 until 1942 he attended the Julliard School of Music, and in 1939 he made his debut at Town Hall. He has also given a White House recital. Although in his concerts he plays classical numbers, he does not dis like jazz. “Classical music and jazz entirely different types of sion, and I don’t think either s | borrow from the other,” he in answer to our question, ‘ '' ‘ • jjjii Wet Jew you think about people’s (1)( words to classics such as 1 - End of Time,’ Tull Moon and ty Arms,’ and others ?” . “To make jazz out of just as bad as it would be to (1 jazz piece into classical ;1 wonder how “I’m Looking ^ j i> Four Leaf Clover” would soU played in classical style I) , t’ In regard to students % b 'VaT s ''■ill: enter the field of music, Mr- los said that unless they Ural gift of music, they shomu At it a hobby, not a profession- field is already overcrowded-^^^j,,)*' feels, however, that studying i makes a person know more n and enjoy it more. rt t" 1 1 ^ ,lt' This was the second conco*'' Mr. Masselos has given from the applause he receive y certain that everyone wants to Saint Mary’s to become n tion. 1)' $
