This year, the program committee has altered the usual procedure of having only guest speakers for the annual series, and has included University professors in the program. Such innovation should create an atmosphere of greater informality between lecturer-audience. It will also give students and faculty alike op portunity to express non-textbook opinions and questions about the artists. The entire program scheduled for tonight should benefit the art-enthusiasts on campus. Possibly it will even help do away with the age-old belief posed in the discussion title. “Must Creative Artists Be Crackpots?” Gazette *..

Safety Valve- Opposes Seating Policy TO THE EDITOR: The lack of Beaver Field seats is not merely felt in the senior sections, but in the junior and sophomore sections as well. The ten per cent, (or 251-ticket) allow ance for students who will not come to the game or will not pass their tickets along to someone else seems a rather absurd allowance. On any home football Saturday, that 252nd ticket is the most looked-for item on campus. If the trouble of railing-c rossing is blamed on the desire of each student “to have a seat on the 50-yard line,” the way to. stop this section-hopping seems to be not policing the overcrowded sections, but providing the with better seats. The University wants “school spirit,” “loyal support of the team,” etc., from a student body of which the greater part observes the games from behind the goal posts. The members of the team are University students and the game is primarily of student interest; yet students who 1 have been attending the University for three and four years are still.forced, because of lack of seats in overcrowded sections near the 20-yard line, to sit in seats behind the goal line. And then approximately one and.a half sides of the stadium are “reserved” and often re main empty. Even though we are paying a low price for our Athletic Association tickets, we are students of this University and as such deserve to have good seats. The blame for seating problems, therefore, lies not on the students, but on the University, which prefers to sell the tickets rather than to give the seats to the students.

World Council no At Representatives of 170 million Christians throughout the world met at Northwestern University this summer in an effort for all religions to find unity in Christ, the Reverend Hal Leiper, associate director of the University Christian Association, said yesterday. Leiper spoke on the World Council of Churches at the meeting of the Faculty Luncheon Club yes terday afternoon at the Hotel State College. Illustrating his talk with a ser ies of colored slides, Leiper anal yzed the purpose, significance and accomplishments of the Council, composed of delegates of 163 churches gathered from Aug. 15 to 31 as part of a movement for the worldwide extension of chur ches. Slorm-Tossed Ship The Council chose as its sym bol a ship on a storm-tossed sea, signifying the churches moving to the final establishment of God’s kingdom through Christ. As their theme, they selected Christian Hope and Christian Faith. Thiough an exchange-of beliefs and concepts religious leaders strove to gain a clearer insight into the' unity of Christ of all churches, despite the disunity in the finer points of religious be liefs. Members of the Council exam ined a variety of problems under the following topics: One in Ghrist, Yet Divided, An Evangel ising Church, The Responsible Society, The Christian Responsi bility for International Order; The Church Amid Racial and Ethnic Tensions, and The Christian in His Vocation. Unity Without Uniformity These discussions aimed at unity without uniformity in churches and dealt with the gen eral yet important concepts of creation, redemption, and the consummation of the kingdom of heaven. A mutual note of warning was asserted with the observation that communism is the most mission ary -action in world. A highlight of the Council was the attendance of the Czechoslo- "'x nrvv nwarn 900 »CJ . jS/rWi .

Leiper appraised their attitude as completely sym pathetic and cooperative. They expressed a great conviction that a theological, clarity would come out of the council, he said. Leiper considers Penn State an actual sub-project of the Ecumen ical Council, dealing with the to tal life 'of the whole church throughout the whole world. for all time. He feels that we as stu dents are the ‘grass roots’ of the Council’s effect. • ■ As Leiper expressed it in his conclusion, the delegates came in with doubtful, hestitant feet and walked, but with a common stride and feeling of affiliation with all the Christians of the world.
