Stock in the Theater has been purchased by the students and a board of directors has been formed with Kathleen ODonnell as pro ducer and president. Bill Walton is director; C. T. Weatherford is technical director and Marv Stro nger is promotion director. The Hayloft Theater was opened six years ago and operated for the first two seasons as an Equity Company with a cast from New York. The third season the com pany was composed of University students but the directing and pro duction was handled by an Equity director. During the fourth and fifth seasons Equity personnel again took over total production. Each season, The Hayloft has utilized much local talent for both on and off the stage. Many of this year's group have had previous Hayloft experience in this manner. Ia past years, the barn has housed the horses of the R. W. Faulkner Stables. The stage is lo cated in the haymow and the scene shop, property room and re hearsal areas are the former stalls and harness rooms. A large parking area, ticket stand and con cession stand complete the Hayloft area. The play currently in production which wul run until Sunday is J. B. Priestly 's "An Inspector Calls." The action of the play occurs :n an English industrial city when young girl commits suicide and respectable British family is sub jected to a routine inquiry in con nection with the death.

The Rev. Dr. Stimson listed four causes that have made today's public schools "devoid of religion and largely of morals": religious sectarianism, expansion of educa tion, the secularization of educa tional philosophy and confusion surrounding the principle of the separation of church and state. This confusion, he said, arises from the fallacious assumption that "there is no common religious heritage that can be taught without benefit of ecclesiastic control and bias." Secular educational philosophy, Dr. Stimson said, forgets that "de mocracy is founded on religious principles." Since World War U, he said, four things have led to a "tremen dous demand for the schools to do more to preserve in the younger generation" democracy's heritage. These are, Dr. Stimson said, mili tary "dissatisfaction with educa tion," "recoil from scientism since the A-bomb was loosed," "the scourge of juvenile delinquen cy" and "Communism's challenge to the suppositions of democracy." at mittERrnrrn: Lucien Lelong saves you a cool $2 Buy 2 for the usual price of 1! fcfi jy --"? fifi "'ijlii , liT, J eaiuie tht fragrance last longer than liquid colopief Ucau$t U packs in parte or suitcase, without spilling! beemte if $ tht ideal gift far your week-end hostess!
