Episcopal Pastors Label Students
As Cynicallji Indifferent Towara
Religion as a Part of Education
Cynical indifference is the attitude of the average college
student toward religion, according to interviews conductea
among twenty-two Kpiscopal college pastors at their second
annual conference, held this week at the University Episcopal
church. The survey was made
Carlton college in Northfield, Min-o
nesota.
"Students hate commercialism
as well as the social showoff, even
though four out of five of them
will have an elaborate church wed
ding. They dislike handshaking
and backslapping in the church
that isn't going to be continued on
the outside. In other words, they
hate an artificial religion," Powell
told the conference. That their con
tempt for denominational stnre is
very great was also disclosed by
Powell.

Friends and Social
Affairs Drair Many
Here to University
Why do we come to college. Ne
braska university in particular.
The answers to this question s re
many and varied. At least that U
what Frances Moore and Verelle
Mninavi-rih have been finding out.
These two girls, in preparation for
a publicity campaign for br
school, have men asking studnti
why they are attending XfH.ka.
Some of the answers are
sensible, others half humorous, and
others rather pathetic.
One senior girl said that she had
been wondering herself during th
last four years just why she is
here. Another said she came to get
away from her home town because
she foueht with her boy tritbr1
But on the other hand, a third gi t '
is here so she might be near
boy friend.
One boy said that his parents
had sent their first child here be
cause they believed Lincoln to bn
a e-ood clean" town where he would
get in no bad company. The rest
of the emidren nave auiomaucuy
followed in bis footsteps here.
A Iaree number came because
they had relatives here or because
members of their family had pre
viously attended the university. A
great many came because it is
close to home.
Several candidlv admitted they
came for the social life offered, and
a number of boys are here for foot
ball or other forms or auueiics.
Then there are those who came
for an education. They gave as
their reasons courses offerod in
law, business administration, fine
aits, physical education, music,
mdicine. and journalism.
Among the other reasons listed
are because of the low tuition,
scholarship alumni Influence, the
size of the university, the size of
Lincoln, the reputation of the
school C W. A. job, family Influ
ence the education! rank of the
university, admiration for a high
gcnnrii teacher who bad stteuded
NebpHska, and friends already in
