The sermon knocked some of
the shibboleths found in Christian
ideology. Chaplain Neal noted
that many of us have grown up with
the idea that reason is good and
the body is bad, and challenged
the idea. He began with the ques-
tion: Why, in these times, do we
have a “Dance Before the Lord”?
One answer was that “life is bes-
towed on us as a gift.**
As people of the “extreme right’*
feel distressed because of a lack
of law and order, indicated Cha-
plain Neal, those of the “extreme
left” feel that they are getting
nowhere; meanwhile, “the Chris-
tian gathers to celebrate life.”
Chaplain Neal advocated the idea
that the workd itself is being re-
deemed—not that one is redeemed
by removal from a perishing world.
He noted that (in the “Dance Be-
fore the Lord,” we discover all
over again God’s redemption and
the creation of the world.
Dr. Jaro Tells Of World
and Atomic Bomb
BY REBECCA SALINGER
When Anatole Jaro, prominent
Auatrism news analysist from Vi-
enna, is asked to speak in front
of a group, he makes it more of
a conversation or a special broad-
cast presentation than just another
dry speech. He even presents
portions of tapes he has made
of many world famous people.
For example, last Tuesday mom
ing, Dr. Jaro spoke at an assem-
bly on “Backstage qf World His-
tory.” He used the tapes from his
collection of 3,000 taped conversa-
tions to illustrate some of the
thoughts of various world leaders.
Included were tapes of William O.
Douglas, Stalin, and Adlai Steven-
son.
Dr. Jaro used one tape to show
that the Marshall Plan was actti-

Dr. Jaro Tells
Congress of Graz
The Student Congress did not
hold a formal meeting this week.
Dr. Anatole Jaro discussed with
Congress the Graz Center in Graz,
Austria. He concentrated on the
human aspects of the program.
Dr. Jaro noted that, as sgon as
one goes out the door of the Cen-
ter, one enters an entirely diffe-
rent culture. He told of a greatly
warm relationship between the Graz
students and the city’s populace.
For example, according to Jaro,
there had developed a “competi-
tion” of sorts, among the local
people to have the American stn-
dents over for dinner.
The Methodists, noted Dr. Jaro,
brought him here to promote the
Graz Center, which will soon be-
come a year-round institution.

Senses Zapped At Media Show
by W. K. RIVES
Talk about an assault on the
sense!! Last Tuesday night the
newly formed Media committee
presented an entirely student pro-
duced show about the Dallas Pop
Festival. Two films were shown
simultaneously. One film was made
by Alan Brown, .and the other was
After the slide and film .show,
live music was offered by “Jubil-
ation.” The band, which has been
made by Dwight Adair and Bill
Hooper, heads of the committee.In
addition to the film,s which showed
many of the festivals* stars such as
Canned Heat, Herbie Mann, B. B.
King, Janis Joplin, etc., there
were two slide images being pro-
jected on the walls. As each per-
former was seen in the films, their
music was played at quite an ample
volume. It was second only to being
at the festival itself.

Preston Smith
Un-Conservative?
Former Alabama Gov.
George Wallace this week
charged that Gov. Preston
Smith, in failing to insist that
the busing referendum be
placed on the Maj 2 primary
ballot, “has abandoned the;
conservative vote which gave
him his victory.”

together about a month, played a
little blues and a little rock. The
personnel of the group is: Dwight
Adair, lead singer and rhythm
guitar, Jack Stuart, lead guitar.
Bill Bentley, drums, Andy Dean,
organ and vocals, and Tom Ham-
belton, bass. George, the tambo-
rine player, is just part of the
family.
The Media committee, Adair
says, will be doing many similar
things in the future. The mem-
bers of the committee are a family
of concerned people determined to
help thiscampus “get it on,” stated
Dwight. He continued, “There are
already about fifteen people in the
family and we hope it will grow
’til we are all one big family to-
gether. Go!!”
To all those who saw the show,
they now know what energetic peo-
ple can do for S. U. For all those
who missed it, t.s.
ally the Truman Plan. Before
this early form of foreign recov-
ery aid was developed, Truman
had lectured at a small Mississ-
ippi teacher’s college outlining how
America could help wartorn Eu-
rope get on her feet again.
On another tape, Vijaya Pandit,
president of the United Nations
(1963-1954) and sister of Jawahar-
lal Nehru, spoke on the role of nu-
clear power in her country. She
said that India had the potential
of developing nuclear warheads but
that it had been banned. Instead,
they were channelling this poten-
tial into peaceful use of nuclear
power in India.
Jan Masaryk, Foreign Minister
of Czechoslovakia and son of its
first president Tomas Masaryk,
revealed his deep patriotism for
his country despite Soviet take-
over. In a speech before the UN
in 1948, he said that, in effect,
he would do anything to keep his
country free. Only days later he
was found dead in his courtyard
from a three-story fall. No one
knows today if he was a suicide

Challenge
Campaign
Completed
Public announcement is being
made this week of the completion,
in two years, of the projected
three-year Challenge Campaign to
raise $3,750,000. A total of $1,500,
000 comes to Southwestern as a
challenge gift from the Brown Foun-
dation of Houston.
The announced objectives of the
campaign included emphasis upon
funds for the establishment of addi-
tional endowed chairs in specific
areas of study and gifts for capital
facilities and programs. Estab-
lishment of the Cullen Chair in Eco-
nomics came as a result of the
Challenge Campaign; a second chair
has been partially endowed, and the
program for a third initiated.
Funds from the Brown Foundation
designated in their entirety to"
endowment. Approximately half
of the $2,250,000 raised duringthe
campaign also went into perma-
nent endowment, Each such gift,
of course, eases the demands upon
the institution’s educational and gen-
eral funds.
In announcing the completion of
the campaign, Dr. Fleming said,
“We are very pleased with the
generous response to our appeal in
what has been Southwestern’s first
formal widespread campaign in re-
cent history. This accomplishment
represents Phase One of a multi-
million dollar effort by the Univer-
sity to substantially increase the
permanent endowment, bring the
buildings and facilities up to a
quality standard, and enrich and
expand the educational program.”
The campaign was under the lead-
ership of Mr. W. Grogan Lord of
Georgetown, with the Hon. Edward
Clark of Austin serving as honorary
chairman. Mr. John Robinson of
Houston is chairman of Alumni and
Senator Tower honorary chairman
of that section.

describe.
