PAG-E TWO Modern Philosopher Arts lecture last night, discusses "Science, Religion and Meta physics in the 20th Century." Emphasis is placed by Hartshorne on the importance of experience in our life. A professor of phil osophy at the University of Chicago, he is also the author of several books. His most recent is "Reality as Social Process." Experience Governs Us, Says Hartshorne Human experience is a unitary, individual event which governs our lives, Dr. Charles Hartshorne said last night in his lecture, "Science, Religion and Metaphysics in the 20th Century." As the final Liberal Arts lecturer of the year, Hartshorne seemed to dash across such deep philosophical theories without batting an eye lash that listeners could hardly stop from jumping up and asking him to repeat what he said. Expressing his ideas on causal ity and freedom, Hartshorne stated first that there is such a thing as experience, and that ex perience has unity, for if it didn't, we wouldn't know what the word means. We learn from past in fluences. In memory, he stated, past experiences are available to affect present experiences. He summed up this point by saying that if the trivial and low types of reality couldn't learn anything from the higher types, this wouldn't be much of a world in which to live. Taking an aesthetic point of view, he said that nothing in fluences experience except the data of experience. Refusing to be bound by dogmas of science and materialism, Hartshorne takes time seriously but does not ne glect eternity. Furthermore, he New A iumni Fund to Aid Students By BILL SNYDER Every student on campus has paid money for the proposed Stu dent Union Building , which at the moment is a few boards and a mere hole in the ground across the street from Osmond Labora tory. But student union fees will cover only construction expenses of the new non-state supported building. Interior furnishings the proposed ballroom and ter race, air-conditioned auditorium. browsing library, cafeteria, and all the other features which will make the dream building one of the finest of its kind in the East —must come from alumni contri butions through the Penn State Alumni Fund. Furnishing the Student Union building is only one of many worth while student projects, not eligible for state funds, which the College hopes to obtain through the loosened purse strings of al umni. Project Discussed The purpose of the fund is to solicit alumni for funds to insure that the College will get projects not supported by the state. In March, messages were sent to alumni all over the country, of ficially giving the fund its birth. Bernard Taylor, fund director, discussed just one of the projects that the College hopes to estab lish for students through the fund, the matter of scholarships. "Each ye-r ti College is forced to lose many woLLlawhile-students simply because it doesn't have By EDMUND REISS takes society seriously but does not neglect God. Wishing to integrate science and religion, he stated that it is necessary for one to experience God. If he does it. it is impossible to realiie that there is a God. He went on to say that divine rule alone makes the world a world. God can force us to do nothing unless we consciously or unconsciously love _Him. Believing that death is a neces sary force in this world, he strove to convince his audience that it is not a mistake but a divine or dination. Although Hartshorne's talk was open to the public, the subject matter was definitely only for the thoughtful, intellectual few. He kept the subject of philosophy on its high plane without en deavoring to bring it down for the masses to partially under stand. enough scholarship funds to help needy students defray expenses," he said. "If the alumni can only be made to realize this lack, it will mean fewer worthy boys and girls are denied an education." Increased Space Wanted "We don't instruct the alumni on what to contribute," he said. "The College only informs them of needed projects. The final choice as to where his money will go depends on the individual alumnus." Glenn Thiel, professor of phy sical education and a member of the Alumni Fund Council, hopes to get some increased space for the student recreational program out of the fund. ' To relieve crowded conditions, Thiel hopes to get a much-needed field house and indoor riding ring started from contributions of the alumni. College chaplain, the Rev. Lu ther H. Harshbarger, sees in the We wish to thank the students for their patronage dur ing the past school year, and wish _them a very enjoyable vacation. Portage Cleaners 118 S.
