An audience that pulled no
punches last night attended one of
the most absorbing discussions
heard on the campus in recent
months when a. team of church
leaders from the National Confer
ence of Christians and Jews spoke
in the chapel of the YMCA.
With; understanding between re
ligions as their keynote, Rabbi
William S. Malev, Father Paul C.
Fieri, and Reverend Fred Marsh
stood before a barrage of ques
tions from the large audience.
Topics of discussion ranged from
such things as the Jewish concep
tion of the life of Christ to the
Catholic Church’s reasons for not
permitting people of their faith to
attend churches of another faith.
The minister opened the meet
ing with each giving a short talk
on the need lor understanding
among the people of different
faiths. j,' «■
Questions from the audience
took up the remainder and ma
jority of the time for the even
ing discussion.
The first question, “What i* the
goal of aach of the religions” wai
answered by all three of the
ohurehman as being an aim to ob
tain for all pa

Since graduation in 1938, he haa
worked with the Frigidaire Cor
poration and with other ventila
tion and refrigeration concerns.
He went to work for Chrysler
Airtemp Corporation, Dayton, Ohio
in 1941.
Karl Martino, President, Uni
versity of Texas Student Branch
of American Society of Heating
and Ventilating Engineers, intro
duced the speaker. ,
Second speaker during the final
afternoon session was Fred C.
Brandt, regional sales manager,
From this point on tlie questions
were more specific and put to the
members of the different faiths
individually.
Father Fieri explained the meth
od the Catholic Church has in ab
solving its members of their sins.
Rabbi Malev pointed out that with
the Jewish people, atonement fear
sins was largly personal.
The attitude of the three reli
gions toward the study of other
religions was discussed at length
by all the ministers. ..
j Father Fieri explained to the
audience the Catholic conceptions
of the infallability of the Pope
in matters of faith and morals.
The Jewish teachings regarding
the life of Jesus Christ were ex
plained by Rabbi Malev. “We Jews
consider him as a great and good
teacher,” he stated. "As you know,
he is referred to as Rabbi even in
the New Testament, and in our
language that means ‘tehcher.’ ”
A question from the audience
regarding the reason why the
Catholic Church does not permit
Ha members to attend churcnea of
other faiths was discussed by
Father Fieri.
$Wa Catholics do not believe”
he aald. "that Christ is present in
other churches in the aame man
ner that he is present in ours. Also
since the members of other faiths
know that our beliefs are different
from thetr own, we believe it would
be an insult to them for a Catholic
to attend a church of another
fiith/r ' xlp
"There are excoptlona to this, of
course,” he continued. "In the case
of a funeral or a wedding an ex
ception la often made. Then, too,
during the war Catholic chaplains
even conducted Protestant aervlcaa.
It waa often the. same sermon he
would give members of his own
faith 45 minutes later, but he had
to make a few alterations to con
form with Protestant beliefs.”
! "Can Anyone adopt the Jewiah
faith?” a member of the audi
ence asked.
"Yes, he can.” Rabbi Malev an
swered, "But, of course, he must
take instructions in the history and
the beliefs of our church just as
he must in other churches.”
All the ministers stressed in
their discussions that, in spite
of the many differences in doc-
trine, the most important thing
for all religions was to develop
a sense of understanding and tol
erance for people of other faiths.
“Every person must be sincere
in hip own beliefs, and must prac
tice it to the best Of his ability.”
Father Fieri stated. “We do not
expetft nor desire anyone to com
promise.” 1 i j
Reverend Marsh Concluded, "Af
ter we obtain an understanding of
each other’s faith, then we must
work for cooperation, but we must
obtain it without compromise of
beliefs or doctrines;”

Braioi Count:
meeting held
Agfle-exea it •
I held Monav night, voted
to continue collecting money for
the club houie which they plan to
build in the wooded lot behind
the Bryan Country Club.
The lot was donated to the club
bVi Cameron Webb and Joe Soeo-
Ilk last summer. Chairman S. A.
"Doc” Lipscomb reported that only
83,500 had been collected to date.
The building committee had hoped
to have $6,000 collected prior to
last Monday’s meeting.
Several team-captains and mem
bers had not seen their prospects,
however, and for that reason the
club-house possibility waa still con
sidered a good one. President Os
car Crain who won the club’s at
tendance prize Monday night do
nated it to the building fund, thus
keeping the project alive.
Dick Hervey reported that the
annual Aggie muster program
would be held on April 21 from
8:30 to 9 p. m. in front of the Ad
ministration Building. The club
voted to hold a joint muster with
the Student Body of A&M again
this year.
The dub plans on showing a
wild life movie "African Adven
tore” at the Stephen F. Austia
Auditorium in Bryan on April 25
and 26. The benefits of the show
will be placed in the building
fund.

be used in testing the hearing
of school children in this area
has just been purchased, Dr.
George E. Potter, public
health committee chairman
Bryan-College Station Rotary
Club, announced.

ency can be detected dn a few
minutes.
Organizations in Bryan-College
Station Area which contributed to
the instrument’s purchase are the
following: Public Health Commit
tee, Rotary Clubs, Crippled Chil
drens’ Committee, College Station
Kiwanis Club, and the Parent
Teachers Associations of the Tra
vis and Bowie Schools, Bryan. Oth
er! contributors were patrons of
Lamar Junior High School, and
Stephen F. Austin High School,
the College Station Development
Association and the Chamber of
Commerce. ,V
The audiometer is now in Super-

A schedule for its use, in different
schools is being worked out with
school officials, Dr. Potter said.
