Unless Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Bud dhism, and other sects are merged into or replaced by a great One Religion, sectarianism will continue to divide the world and communities into self-centered groups, isolated peoples, use sectarian prejudice for political advantage, and stimulate conflict which is deadly dangerous in the atomic space age. 5.

At least we have received much encouragement from many who could scarcely be called foolish. Some comments on my Toward World Brotherhood which suggested and ex plained the Brotherhood Movement are: "You have struck a very important note in the problem of world organization and unity. In fact I think the most im portant one as well as the most neglected and most needed.

Redfern, Keene Teachers College, Keene, New Hampshire. Just Another Brain-Washing Sect? Is One Religion just another brain-washing sect to divide religious people still further? There is a vast difference be tween an inclusive Brotherhood, modern in outlook and knowledge, where varying points of view are adjusted in the search outlook and knowledge, where varying points of view are adjusted in the search for a fuller brotherhood, and the excluding, binding authoritative tradition built up over the centuries about a personal Savior or a chosen people. One Religion is free to evaluate—free to accept or reject on the basts of quality alone. It is truth-seeking. Adherents believe that an earnest, intelligent search yields far more religious truth than the blind acceptance of the tradition of any sect. Sectarianism is blindly propagandic. A sect has been de fined as a group with closed minds who propagate what it already "knows” is the truth. Sectarians who mistake gulli bility for faith are prisoners within the shell of their own sectarian tradition—no matter how fine or how foul the shell. Brain washing, began as early as possible and continued throughout life, is the sectrian process. Prospective clerics are brain-washed for years. Each sect has its own "reforms” from time to time and may talk of "unity," but that is like clipping a few whiskers off the sectarian tiger and leaving the temper and the claws of the tiger intact.

By RICHARD WIESENHUTTER Collegian Staff Writer Helping adults break down the social and vocational barriers speech and hear ing disorders raise in the mission of an unusual program at the University. Twenty-lour men and women, aged 16 through 60, are currently enrolled for a 10-week term in the Speech and Hear ing Clinic’s Adult Therapy Program, which works foi the development of their ability to speak and hear properly. These persons assume the role of “special students'' at the University. Thev live in the residence halls during the course of the program, or until maximum recovery is achieved. “Our program is not something brand new," Dr. Eugene B. Cooper, assistant, professor of speech pathology and di rector of the program, said. "It's been in effect since 1938, but naturally we con tinually perfect it,” he added Selective Enroll Since its founding, the Penn State Speech and Hearing Clinic has given treatment to those adults handicapped in speech and hearing from Pennsylvania. Enrollment in the course follows a diagnostic interview which determines if the problem is vocationally handicap ping, which rehabilitative procedures appear most appropriate for the indi vidual in question, and finally, if there are any indications that the prospective client needs or would benefit from an intensive therapy program, The minimum age for therapy is 16, while the average age of enrollees is 19, acording to Cooper. “A 16-year-old boy /Continued from page three) and Archives rounded out the features for this week, Country Panorama Being featured weekly on the station is a one-hour cultural series, "World Theatre." treating the drama of seven countries. Each program is devoted to one country, and re flects the drama, literature, poetry, music or dance of that country. Thursday “World Theater” will feature the second in the program series: "Sweden: Fire and Ice." Successive pro grams will travel to France, Greece, Japan, India and Nigeria. "World Theater” was made possible through a grant from the Standard Oil of New Jersey to the Eastern Educa tional Network. The upcoming progiam on Sweden’s contri bution to drama and literature of the world will feature a ballet version of "Miss Julie." the beautiful and severe drama by the realist August Strindberg and readings from "Mark ings," the poetic memoirs of Dag Hammarskjold. Each film has been filmed in English in the country featured, with a cast representative of the country. The stars and directors are internationally known. Viewers may write the station for a free booklet winch follows each of the "World Theater" programs.

But within a term he had modified both his speech behavior and his altitude toward himself and others." In fact, over half of Ihose enrolled are stutterers and many of them eventual ly become fluent in a controlled fashion. In the more than 20 years of the program, more than 400 persons have received therapy, and many of them consequently go on lo become full-time students at tlie University. In one of the eases, Cooper says, a client even went on to graduate school in speech pathology and audiology. Real Improvement “Because our program runs year round and is so intensive, we can often see dramatic improvement among our clients," Cooper remarked. "For example," he added, "a boy came to us unable to read, write or com municate thiough speech because of a severe hearing disability. Within the five terms he spent here, he took courses in the Univesrit.v’s art department which sparked his interest. He gradually de veloped some reading and language abil ity and has now gone on to study com mercial art." Not all clients, however, are young adults. A number of them are older aphasics who came after a stroke or accident which has impaired speech.

Each client lives in a residence hall, usually sharing a room with one other client enrolled in the same program. They attend their classes for six hours a day, five days a week. But, as Cooper points out. "It’s not a case of all work and no play." As special stu dents. these clients receive all the extra curricular privileges of a regularly en rolled student. They attend athletic events and Artist Series programs, have picnics, dances, bowling parties and (he like. In the time that is left, they put out their own news paper.
