For those students interested in the fine

discussion should be invaluable.
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.

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.

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

vakian representatives, who were
the only delegates from behind
the Iron Curtain. 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

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.
