Levine Stresses
Cooperation
• "Unity and Diversity" was the
topic for Rabbi Raphael H. Levine's
talk in assembly Tuesday, April 13.
After being introduced by, Pres­ident
Haggard, the Rabbi began his
address, the main point of which
was more cooperation in religion.
Since Rabbi Levine has only re­turned
from England shortly be­fore
Pearl Harbor, he had much to
tell about the London bombings. He
said that one of the things that
touched him about the English
churches was that when the Jewish
synagogue in London was bombed,
other churches offered. to let him
use their buildings for meetings.
He is a representative of the
Chautauqua society; and occupies
the pulpit of Congregation Temple

Violators of Beard Growing Fray
To Be Handled in Student Court
• Chairman of Campus Day ar­rangements,
Wade Haggard, an­nounces
that a novel plan has been
made for this year's beard growing
contest.
Haggard commented that last
year, men refusing to grow beards
were punished in old-fashioned
stocks. This year, violators will be
handled through a student court
system. Haggard says, "If you
don't want to grow a beard, your
case will be considered for a "bald
face" permit. Non-beard growers
without permits will be forced to
pay fines:" According to Campus
day heads, this money will go the
Student lounge fund.
"This weather certainly looks
promising," enthusiastically re­marked
Ellen Van Wieringen, ASB
prexy, in reference to the big event
which is dated May 12.
A meeting of all committees was
held last Tuesday in room 103
where each group made its basic
plans. Haggard and Ruth Krause,
assistant chairman, say that the.
greatest problem confronting them
now is the transportation of stu­dents
to Lakeway. It is hoped that
the use of a couple of trucks can
be obtained.
