In ancient times Judaism di vorces theoretically were the easiest to secure, stated Rabbi Albert S. Goldstein, Sioux City, la., speaking on "Hebrew Law and Lore on Love and Marriage," at the Union last night. A bill of divorce had to be writ ten by the man and a It ho a wom an could not draw up a bill of divorce she could take the case to court and force her spouse to institute the bill, according to Rabbi Goldstein. Judaism not only recognizes love and approves of marriage it Enrolment Drops Only 12PerCent Enrollment for the sumer ses sion have been maintained sur prisingly well in view of the world war situation, according to Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, director of ad mission, university examiner, and registrar. The drop in enrollment, as the figures show, is considerably less than was at first antici pated It now appears that the enrollment will not be more than 12 percent under that of a year ago. Largest decrease In enrollment will naturally be in the graduate college, the registrar said. En rollments in the under-graduate colleges have continued to be quite normal. Dr. Rosenlof pointed out that students are disposed to regis ter for a full load. Many more students are registered for the long session than has usually been the case, when compared with the registration for the hort session. Furthermore, very few students are registering for 1, 2, or 3 hours as a total. Navy Work New Phase For Women Alice C.

Judaism also approves of the physical and spiritual aspects "to be fruitful and multiply," which is regarded as not a permissive function mere ly, but as a divine command, Marriage was referred to In Talmudio times and at present as not only a normal state, but also as a divine ordinance, contributed Goldstein. "God created the world not M a waste, but He formed it to be inhabited. Early marriages were stressed in Halnfudic times and since for sound moral and social reasons," he said, Cast of the University's Summer Theatre's first production of the year, "Outward Bound" Ronald Metz in the lead as Mr. Prior, played on Broadway by, Alfred Lunt of Lunt and Fountaine. The character is that of a young alcoholic." Sutton Vane's play, which is a treatment of men's souls, concerns people after death who are gathered in the smoking; room of an "Outward Bound" ship. Important in the cast are the two lovers, Ann, played by Gwendolyn Guest, and Henry, played by Leonard Luttbeg who are "half -ways" halfway in between life and death for they committed suicide. Much of the discussion is about the contemplated marriage of these two, who are very much in love. Scrubby, another half-way who i has made 5,000 trips, is to be por trayed by Kurt Porjss. This inter esting character is also a suicide. Has Opposites.

Series Reviews 'Revolt' Novels On Thursday John Steinbeck's new novel, THE MOON IS DOWN, and Wil liam Woods novel, "Edge of Dark ness", will be reviewed on the Book Nook Series of reviews next Thursday at 5:00 p. m. in the Union by Patricia Lahr. Both novels are concerned with the re volt of the little men in Nazi-occupied countries. Steinbeck's book has aroused the liveliest literary argument of the year, whether he has made his Nazis too human, and whether he is encouraging the democracies to depend too much on their moral superiority, and not on their military weapons. Williams Woods, a young pro fessor of writing at the Univer sity of Iowa, has written a similar noved on occupied Nor way which treats the subject of the guerrilla resistnnce by the un armed Norwegian!. Total abstinence or celibacy has never been sanctioned by Hebrew law. and lore, but continence and chastity has always been advo cated. This accounts for the mar riages of Jewish, religious leaders, teachers, temple priests in ancient days and the Rabbis ever since, according to the Rabbi. Stress in Talmudic times was laid on parity or rank in society, and it was not wtae to take a wife of social superior rank, but rather take a woman lower on the social calendar.
