"It lifts men and women into the realization that the spirit is more important than the flesh. It is the well spring of morality. It is the key to hbnor and integrity. It is the acknowledgement of God and of the dependence of mor- tals upon Higher Power which may be ignored, but can never be evaded. It is the hope of humanity here and here- after." Other featured articles in the mag- azine which invites articles from the student body on all types of philo- sophical and religious subjects are "The Nature and History of Reli- gion," by Samuel Grant, '40, and "Some Sort of Prayer," a poem by Glen Frank Brooks, '43.

It added just as briefly: "The landing of British troops con- tinues." The British coupled this announce- ment with another that their war- planes in the past two days carried out "highly successful operations," sinking one Nazi transport, scoring a direct hit on a submarine and re- peatedly bombing the German-occu- pied Norwegian airport at Stavanger. The airport was shelled Wednesday by a British cruiser which, in turn was hit by a German air bomb but managed to return to its base. Against these British claims, the Germans declared their warplanes sank one British cruiser Wednesday off Norway, badly damaged light and heavy cruisers with four direct bits, bombed one destroyer and hit a Nor- wegian torpedo boat, Season Ticke_1tsZ Sold Out Early, Single Seats For May Muic Festival Still Available Complete sellouts for all six con- certs in the four-day forty-seventh annual May Festival, May 8-11 have been virtually assured, Dr. Charles A.

Militarization of NYA or CCC. "4. Mobilization Day preparation or curtailment of civil liberties. "5. War profiteering, and arms ex- pansion beyond defensive needs.
