Dean E. Blythe .Stason of the
Law School accepted an appoint-
ment yesterday to a "task force"
of the Hoover Commission on "The
Legal Services and Procedure on
the Executive Side of the Federal
Government."
Dean Stason received word of
the appointment from Herbert
Hoover, who is chairman of the
Commission on the Organization of
the Executive Branch of the Gov-
ernment, popularly known as the
Hoover Commission.
* * *
IN CHARGE of : the 12-man
special task force will be Judge

the Supreme Court of Missouri.
Other yprominent judicial figures
to be on the'commission are Judge
Harold Medina of New York, Her-
bert D. Clark of San Francisco.

York Supreme Court, president of
the University of Montana, Carl
McFarland and Cody Fowler, past

Prof. Russell A. Smith of the
Law School viewed the appoint-
ment as an excellent one. "He
was a member of the Attorney-
General's Committee on Admin-
istrative Procedure," Prof. Smith
added, so he knows what he is
doing. I don't thing there is
anyone better qualified from the
Kepler Talks
On Religion
Speaking of our age as "an
age of religious confusion," Prof.
Thomas S. Kepler of the Oberlin
College Graduate School of Theol-
ogy addressed a seminar sponsored
by SRA Wednesday at Lane Hall
on the subject "How Shall We De-
fine Religion?"
Kepler spoke of religion as the
most normal of experiences, and
said that one can not get along
without it.
IN GIVING an overall picture
of the meaning of religion, he
quoted definitions by philosopher
Alfred North Whitehead, theolo-
gist Friedrich Schleiermacher, sc-
entific humanist Eustace Hayden
and author Matthev, Arnold, who
spoke of religion as being "what
one does with one's solitariness,"
"man's feeling of absolute depend-
ence on God," "the co-operative
quest for the good and satisfying
life" and "morality touched with
emotion."
In. order to get a true defini-
tion of religion,, he said,, one
must consider all four of these
definitions, as they are all part
of religion
