PETER LAWFORD RICHARD GREEN JANICE RULE "ROGUE'S MARCH" Lovely, beautiful and half-wild! "GIRLS IN THE NIGHT" Prize-winning play now on screen! "THE MEMBER OF THE WEDDING" By LEN GOODMAN evening. The discussion, moderated by Rabbi Benjamin Kahn, director of the foundation, brought together Dr. Freund and Dr. George Lott, psychiatrist of. the College Health Service. • Though the ceremonial ritual of religion itself .may oftentimes be compared to a compulsive neuro sis, said Dr. Lott, still it is neces sary for ritual to bridge the gap between man and God. We must deal with ritual extremely care fully, he felt, and in addition, be careful to use it well and with good purpose. Yet, ritual doesn't seem to have a meaning or significance of its own, but serves to make man more keenly aware of the existence of God, expressed Dr, Freund. In deed, it facilitates opportunities for worship, and directs attention to such worship, he said. In addition, he added, the prac tice of ritual improves and per fects man's character through the disciplining of his behavior. Reli gion itself attempts to change man into a creature acceptable to God, he said, and tries to make man capable of communion with God. The problem, however, is that so often no attempt is made to discover the meaning behind the ritual with the result that there is a lessening of faith in that ap proach to God, he said. This hap pens so very often, commented Dr. Lott, when in the stage of the adolescent he is asserting his inde pendence and individuality.
