sault and battery.
Heated words exchanged in the
Law Association room led to the
exchange of coke bottles. Stu

In spite of the melting snow
and ice, the huge puddles that
engulf the sidewalks and streets,
there's an air of spring about the
campus and N U's social calen
dar is filled with formal dances
and parties. Eager as everyone
is for the opening of picnic sea
son, students will have to con
tent themselves with indoor
partying for a while, at least.
A highlight of this week-end
will -be the presentation of the
Delta Queen" by the Delta Tau
Deits at their dinner-dance Fri
day night. Chosen from the
Deii's dates are the six finalists:
1'at Bussey, Lois Brown, Tat
Cuhin, Ginger Meehan, Marilyn
Clark and Marilyn Brewster.
From these girls a "Delta Queen"
will be selected and presented
during the evening. As the queen
is revealed Tom McVay will sing
"Doha Sweetheart."
The Triple-Deltas will also be
out en masse Friday night for
their winter formal. Pat Gundy
will be there, as usual with
Dick Carson. Newly-pinned
Donna liurley and Bob Yarwood
will attend too.
Inviting their dates over for
an informal evening of dancing
and entertainment Saturday
night, are the Sigma Phi Epsi
lons. This time Laura ScherfPs
Sig Ep date is Bill Thompson.
Oiher couples attending are
Dave Meyers and Jan Champine,
Dirk Skorhdopole and Pat Black.
Marilyn Dixon and Muss Laird,
who have been seeing a lot of
each other lately, will be there
too.
Having survived a week of
H Whoops, 1 mean vigorous
and strict fraternity training, the
Phi Dclt pledges wiJl entertain
the actives with a "Gay Nineties"
party Saturday night. Costumes
and decorations typical of the
roaring nineties will add to the
gaiety of the party. A bit wor
ried about her costume is Anne
FCc, who believes it will be
punches before more than 50 fel
low students.
GRUVER HAS FILED charges
with the clerk of the district
court of Allen through his attor
neys, Dick Hunter and Bob Mc
Nutt. Gruver is charging Zim
merman with assault and battery
and is asking for $500 damages.
His attorneys stated that he was
brutally beaten.
Zimmerman is being represent
ed by the firm of Binning and
Myers who expressed complete
confidence that their client's in
nocence can be proven when the
district court convenes.
RELIABLE information was
impossible to obtain due to the
conflicting testimony by witnesses.
It is certain, however, that a
heated personal argument touched
off the affair.
The date of the mock trial will
be announced later. Professor
David Dow will preside as judge,
and a jury of students from the
College of Arts and Sciences will
be chosen to decide the case.
The fight was staged by Pro
fessor Dow's problems of proof
class as a part of the annual
Terry S. Allen mock court series.

Christianity's Biggest Enemy
Is Communism, Says Minister
BY KENT AXTELL
"Christianity's most formidable
enemy today is Communism."
This pointed statement was
made last night by Dr. Robert J.
McCracken as he spoke for the
second night at the annual Min
isters' convocation at St. Paul
Methodist church.
Using as his theme "Commu
nism's Effect on Religion," Dr.
McCracken asserted that Commu
nism is constantly attempting to
arouse dissension and disunity in
Christian religion. He expressed
the dire need to weaken the Reds'
grip on half of the world by com
bating its influence on religion.
"Communism expects Christian
ity to usher in those things which
it professes," explained Mc
Cracken. He pointed to the So
viets' moves to gain support by
tying in Communist ideals with
Christian beliefs.
"Yet," he declared, "Commu
nist ethics are at complete log
gerheads with Christian ethics."
Due to the fact that the Com
mies have "no affixed moral prin
ciples," the party member "must
be able to override human con
sideration for the sake of the
party," said the pastor of New
York's Riverside church. He
added that a Soviet citizen is
treated not as a human made in
God's likeness, but as "so much
state material."
Meaning "not to be uncharit
able," McCracken warned that
"organized Christianity is not
without its own shortcomings."
He said Christianity is failing to
emphasize that building up mili
tary might is not the only way
of combatting Communism." He
also reminded that both World
Wars had strengthened Commu
nism tremendously.
He proposed that we should
keep on maintaining a conciliatory
attitude toward the Reds that
should be free of domineering
and arrogance. We should estab
lish a "missionary attitude," and
should attempt to defeat the Com
munist purpose with all of our
religious influence," in eastern
Europe, Asia and in Moscow,
itself."
"The Communist," he said, 'is
sent to the factory, business places,
and schools to win over those
with whom he associates. Are we,"
he asked, "actively propagating
the Christian faith?"
