Rabbi Krass Gives
Two Lectures for
Students in Chapel
Addresses of Religions Leader
Sponsored by Conference of
Jews and Christians
“What is wrong with the Ten
Commandments?” and "Is there a
conflict between Science and Re
ligion?” were the subjects of two
addresses by Dr. Nathan Krass, New
York Rabbi, made in the university
chapel Tuesday evening and Wednes
day morning.
Dr. Krass, Rabbi of Temple Eman
uel, New York, was sent to the uni
versity by the National Conference
of Jews and Christians. His local
addresses were sponsored jointly by
the Young Men’s and Young Wo
men’s Christians associations as the
third of a series of monthly lectures.
Commandments Not Inadequate
"The Ten Commandments are not
inadequate today,” contended Rabbi
Krass before a group of students and
Athenians in the chapel Tuesday
evening, “and merely because men
have outgrown some of the obvious
inhibitions stated is no sign that that
particular word should be thrown
aside.”
"The old decalogue may be old,
it may have been used as a moral
code for thousands of years, but it
still has some things by which we
can thrill and grow and give inspira
tion to individuals.”
Declaring his dislike for the use of
the term Ten Commandments, Dr.
Krass said that in the original He
brew, the term was not the Ten Com
mandments but the ten words or the
decalogue.
The speaker discussed various te
nets in the decalogue and interpreted
their applicableness to present-day
civilization.
Churches Reforming
"The church today is not break
ing but reforming, and beginning to
see things which they have not seen
before,” the New York Rabbi said.
“There i3 no neutrality where God
is concerned and in time of danger
and distress, even dyed-in-the-wool
atheists feel the omnipotence and
power of the Almighty. Life is not
playacting but real and God is neces
sary in a real life. Atheism is not
the satisfactory conclusion.”
Rabbi A. Shusterman, local rabbi,
opened and closed the Tuesday night
meeting with a scripture reading and
prayer. Minnie Cutler, Athens,
freshman in the university, played a
violin solo. The speaker was intro
duced by Dean S. V'. Sanford.
In his Wednesday morning address
Dr. Krass said, "There was a time
when we believed the old creeds
self sufficient. Now we no longer
look at it that way.
“If we can not square science and
religion, something is wrong. That
is the age-old conflict between
science and religion.
“What has happened to the old
mythology in regard to the wooden
hatchet and such parables. If there
is such a thing as miracles, what is
its significance?
"Why waste time tryiug to de
termine whether the earth was cre
ated in six days or six thousand
years, when we have so many things
about which we are certain? The
things that really count are the
eternal values, right, conduct, de-,
cency and those things which make I
life worth living.”
Rabbi Krass stated that, “Often j
the question arises as to which of j
the great personalities of the various
religions are right.” but he declared
“that truth doesn ot change whether

“It’s the woman that pays,” says
the old adage.
"It’s not!” say the men students
at the University of Chicago and
Northwestern university.
Co-eds and men students at these
schools simply don’t agree as to
whether or not the women should
finance their half of the date, and
here’s where another adage goes to
pot, for the women aren’t changing
their minds now, either.
About 80 per cent of the girls
were of the opinion that the boys
should bear the whole financial bur
den when on dates with them. The
reasons:
1. Because.
2. Why should we?
3. This has not been the custom
in the past.
4. It might set such a precedent
that in due time it would cost their
husbands huge sums.
Interviews with the men students
at these institutions exposed the fact
that the average date cost was about
$8.00.
The professors, the majority of
whom were men, declined to commit
themselves on so important a ques
tion.
