Must Examine Technique
Of Religion To Justify
Scoffing, Says Morgan
Until one has tested religion by the
exberir ental method, one cannot dis-
mhiss it, Henneth Morgan, director of
the Stu:dent Religious Association,
said ii :n interview yesterday.
It is chiaracteristic of some members
of the educated class to be skeptical
of all but "seientific" knowledge, he
stated. They use and approve the ex-
perimnial method in the field of
science, he explained, but do not carry
it over to the field of religion. They'
discuss religion but do little about it.
It is Mr. Morgan's idea that religion
can be examined by essentially the
same method that is used in scientific
research. But, religion is a personalI
matter, he, emphasized, and each per-
son must perform his own experi-
ment.
Before religious knowledge is con-
demuned one should gather all the in-
formnation availalle in his own tradi-
tion, classify it, and above all test it
by experiment, according to Mr. Mor-
guni's theory. A student is not being
scientific in his approach to religion
if he does not test for himself the
v.dity of prayer, group worship, re-
ligious books and the religious tech-
nique of meditation, he explained.
Scientific insight has come to men
who were willing to experiment, even
at great personal inconvenience, said
Mr. Morgan. In the same way, he
added, religious insight often comes
suddiy to persons who have made a
diligent search. Thus the "arm-
chair" scientists who scoff at all re-
ligious knowledge, are not justified in
their .demnations, he concluded.

The raging waters of the Red River threatened to force evacuation
of Fulton, in southwestern Arkansas, where French and Spanish traders
bartefed with the Indians more thain a century ago. This picture was
taken in the lowlands where two levees broke under the pressure of the
waters. The stream was at an all-time high but most of the townspeople
remained in their homes.
Bureau Helps Many
In Securing Jobs
Among the agencis maintained by
the University to secure positions for
its immediate graduates and alumni,
the Teacher's Piacement Bureaul
plays an important part. Its work
as an intermediary between candi-
date and employer is particularly im-
portant in view of the factsthat the
teaching profession depends almost
exclusively on this method of place-
ment.
The bureau interviews prospective
teachers and employers extensively,
also maintaining long range contacts.:
Last year the bureau received calls{
for candidates from eight foreign:
countries, as well as 47 states.
In addition to this interview and
contact service, the bureau also of-
fers more immediate aid to students
who seek advice

C al d tTOMMY DORSEY has come and gone but the music
of BOB STEINLE is here for keeps. Despite our
maestro's poker face and lethargic manner, our Bob
is a master at drawing swing from. the boys' horns,
which are, incidentally, almost paid 'for. Like Tommy,
.Bob doesn't like to play Josephine, either. This is but
another indication of the superiority of the vinegar-
sr
visaged Robert.
E A this tire, STEINL i- and his heterogeneous aggre-
gation of swingers are at their best. They have, had
ample time to recover from New Year's celebrations
and have now settled down to providing you with that
stupendous, super, solid swing that only yer friend
R. Steinle and his syncopators are capable of handing out.
R. Steinle holds forth in the Union Ballroom every
Friday and Saturday night.
