CENTER STAGE
By CAROL BLAKESLEE
life is divided into two periods,
based on the concept of a divine
ultimate reality.
The first phase is a period of
self-possession in which the per
sonality develops itself spiritual
ly. This spiritual development oc
curs simultaneously with the at
tainment of material goods. "The
Hindus are practical people,"
Parampanthi said.
The second phase, later in life,
is a period of self-renunciation
with a gradual process of get
ting rid of some of the material
things that had seemed neces
sary in youth.
Hinduism is based on a harmony
between the soul and spiritual
needs with physical and material
desires, he said.
The Hindu mind, however, is
not satisfied solely with material
things, Parampanthi stressed, but
rather with a union of spiritual
and material.
A basic concept of the Hindu
religion, Parampanthi said, is that
all living things, whether they
be humans or animals, contain
the "same vital part which is in
the heart of every creation."
"The essence in man is the es
sence in all living things," he said.
The Hindus believe that every
thing is created by one God and
therefore that everything in the
world has "its place in the
scheme," Parampanthi said. Fur
ther, he said, the Hindus feel that
all things in the world are enjoy
able and that man has a duty for
a "God illumination" or a return
, to divinity.
Parampanthi is with the Ve
danta Center of Boston and is
on campus this week under the
auspices of the Faculty Commit
tee on Tnterreligious Studies.
The Vedanta centers serve as
"reverse missions" in the United
States to explain Hinduism, its
ideals and beliefs.

faculty.
Sunshine, Mildness
Will Prevail Today
Today will be one of the most
pleasant days of this winter with
abundant sunshine, light winds
and relatively mild temperatures.'
Rather mild air, which origi
nated over the Pacific Ocean, has
replaced the cold arctic air that
had dominated the eastern two
thirds of the nation for most of
the winter. By late tomorrow,
however, the return of moisture
to this area will set the stage for
rain or snow on Friday. The fore
cast is for rapid warming this
afternoon after a chilly morning,
with a high of 46 degrees. Clear
land cool tonight with a low of
27 degrees. Partly cloudy and
'continued mild tomorrow.

Every Saturday morning, while the rest of the campus
sleeps, a group of alert, ambitious students can be seen
touring the campus.

foot, which covers the major areas
of the campus, including the Li

Field, Recreation Hall, a visit to
a student's room in either a men's
or women's residence hall and a
stop at the Dairy Building for
some Penn State ice cream. Also
included in the tour is a visit to
the building which houses the
prospective student's major. ,

agement relations from West
field, N. J.. chairman of the
tourplan. He was assisted by

Recent Books
Give Mention
To University
The University figures in a
number of ways in several recent
books, according to the column,
"Bookworm," by W. L. Werner
'29 which appeared in the Jan
uary issue of The Penn State
Alumni News.
The best selling book which
mentions the University is John
O'Hara's "From the Terrace."
Two imaginary alumni, Tont
Flothermal and a minor charac
ter, Lawrence Von Elm, a genius
at designing airplanes, are - in
chided.
Tom is a self-made man, run

from the age of eleven in his
Schuylkill County town. Family
troubles almost make him drop
out of the University, where his
(documented) expenses total up
to $230 a year for fees, board and
room! But he borrows and grad
uates in Liberal Arts in 1919,
keeping one foot in Wall Street
through his market speculations.
