A man who wants to have a
pastoral relationrwith people"
Mat's the Rev. Henry D. Yoder, :,.~
manister for Lutheran students on
campus.
Mr. Yoder came to Ann Arbor
in 1932 as the pastor for the Trin- $.
ity Lutheran Church and for v.
Lutheran students. In 1945 the
Student Service Commission of the ..
National Lutheran Council called'
him to his present full-time jobp
with the Lutheran Student Asso-
ciation.

"ONE OF MY main purposes
here is to deepen and enrich the
Christian faith of students," Mr.
Yoder stated. His aims are carried
out in Sunday morning Bible'
classes, in graduate student work,
and in religious courses taught on
Tuesday nights.
The religious courses cover a
four-year period and include a
review of the Lutheran cate-
chism, teachings of Christian
denominations, study of the his-
tory of the church, and intro-
duction to the books of the Bible.
"Another reason why I am here
is to develop student leadership
by giving them the opportunity to
lead," Mr. Yoder continued. As
director, he counsels students and
helps them with the Sunday eve-
ning programs.

"ONEk OF MY happy experiences'
in Ann Arbor has been the cooper-
ation of the faculty," Mr. Yoder
commented. The willingness to co-
operate was particularly noticeable

LUTHERAN MINISTER-The Rev. Henry D. Yoder reads his
Bible in preparation for teaching religious courses. Since 1945
he has been pastor and director of the Lutheran Student Associa-
tion on campus.
when he was executive secretary
°of Religion-in-Life Week, he said.
Mr. Yoder is a pleasant, quiet
voiced man who is well-liked
by the Lutheran students. le
is known to his intimate friends
as "Hank."
For five years before coming
to Ann Arbor, Mr. Yoder served
a parish in Portland, Ind.
HE HAS ACTED as president
of the Christian Student Directors
and the Ann Arbor Family Serv-
ice. At the present time he is a
member of the Community Chest
Board and the Board of Directors
of Wittenburg College, Springfield,
0.
The newest project of the Lu-
theran Student Association is a
$250 contribution to bring a
displaced student here next fall.
Building a new student center
and chapel is a project tentatively
set fory 1950.

IN REGARD TO the require-
merit that applicants submit a
photograph, Dean of Students
Erich A. Walter said, "I can tell
a great deal about a person by
his photograph, such as whether
he is a sensitive individual. This
information also helps us in mak-
ing room assignments."
Miss Gowans emphasized that
requests for particular room-
mates are granted, even where
they involve students of mixed
religion or race.
"If a white student wants to
room with a Negro, or a Jew with
a Christian, we are happy to fill
their requests," Miss Gowans said.
* * *
(SEVERAL MEN reported to me
that they had tried in vain to room
with men of a different race, in-
cluding an Oriental who wished
to room with a Caucasian, and a
Caucasian who desired to room
with a Negro.
(In each instance the student
admitted that he could not
prove that it was a case of
discrimination. There are at
present several inter - racial
rooming coambinations in the
Men's Residence Halls.)
Miss Gowans said that some-
times the request of two students
to room together in a particular
house cannot be filled because of
the unavailability of a double
room. In such a case, it is neces-
sary to place the men in separate
rooms, she pointed out.
* * *
THE STUDENT Legislature has
recently opened an office in the
Union to hear student complaints
about possible discriminatory prac-
tices in University rooming houses.
Peter A. Ostafin, Chief Resi-
dent Advisor of the West Quad,
said that the system of assign-
ing roommates on the basis of
religion when they do not make
specific requests has been used
for a long time, "but without the
slightest notion on the part of
University officials that some
students might regard it as a
form of discrimination or segre-
gation."
"If any student feels hurt as a
result of this method, then per-
haps it should be changed," he
said.
"Because we (administrators)
are so close to the situation we
may sometimes fail to see some-
thing that others regard as unde-
sirable," _Ostafin admitted.

"'The Winslow Boy," a play
about one of the most famous
trials of modern times, has been
chosen by the speech department
for the Michigan initiation of
"theatre-in-the-round" Tuesday
and Wednesday night at the
Women's Athletic Building.
Theatre-in-the-Rround, known
also as arena or circle theatre, is
a technique by which the actors
perform in a circle formed by
the audience.
It is an attempt to get away
from traditional theatrics by por-
traying an event as the audi-
ence would see it in real life, ac-
cording to Prof. Hugh Norton of
the speech department, who is
directing the play.

intimate story, with a kind of
drawing room atmosphere. "The
audience should actually feel that
they are sitting on the sides of a
room, watching true events tak-
ing place," Norton commented.
The story of "The Winslow
Boy" stems from the dismissal
of a young student, Ronald Win-
slow, from a British naval acad-
emy.
The boy's father, believing in
the youth's denial of guilt, hires
an eminent lawyer to investigate
the procedure by which the lad
was allegedly deprived of his rights
as an individual.
Taking the role of the boy will
be John Waller, '51. Lucille Wal-
dorf, '49, and James Lynch, '49,
will his mother and father. Ed-
mund Johnston will act the part
of the lawyer.

ASTRONOMERS believe that
answers to important physics prob-
lems, including the origin of high
velocities and a possible relation-
ship to nuclear physics, can be
found in the mysterious changes
of these objects.
The project, under the direc-
tion of Prof. Leo Goldberg, head
of the astronomy department,
and 'financed by the Rackham
Fund, is expected to take three
years.
The new observatory has been
built near the University's pres-
ent Lamont Hussey Observatory.
A small 10-inch refractor tele-
scope has been shipped to Bloem-
fontstein from the Mount Wilson
Observatory in California. The tel-
escope had been used there to ex-
plore the three-fourths of the
Milky Way visible from Mount
Wilson.

relatives. They will ap-
preciate them as much as
