IN ALL FAITHS CHAPEL
Jewish Scholar
On Communist
Lectures
Theories
Rabbi Robert I. Kahn, Jewish
scholar and theologian from Hous
ton delivered a lecture entitled
“What We Must KnoAV About Com
munism,” in the All Faiths Chapel
Monday night.
RABBI KAHN explained that to
understand the Communist philo
sophy 1 one must understand the
theories of Karl Marx, the founder
of the modern socialist school of
thought.
The Rabbi said that once an
equality of Avage levels is attained
the socialistic state has reached a
point at which all men willl possess
the same things. There will be no
more greed, no more need of gov
ernment, or police. They will in
fact have reached a real Utopia of
“cooperation without coercion.”
TO ACCOMPLISH their aims
the communists are willing to put
to an end all forms of opposition
by the quickest means available.
In their creed the end justifies the
means, said Rabbi Kahn.
Starting with these basic pre
mises of Marx, communism has
made significant inroads to several
conutries. “Remember that a box
car full of revolutionaries from
Germany were able to penetrate to
the Russian interior and oust the
Czar. This has been their basic
method for installing communism;
conquest by force followed by a
puppet regime,” said the Rabbi.
The success of communism in
some countries has depended upon
two basic needs said the Rabbi.
“The exploitation of hunger and
the hunger for an idea or an
ideology that Avill satisfy needs.”
....“COMMUNISM promises an end
to AA'hat may seem to be a mys
tery.”
Rabbi Kahn said that when an
intelligent and educated man con-
veids to communism it is usually
because they are “hungry for an
ideal.” In absence of channels
for improvement is it a wonder that
they seek to satisfy an outlet for
their idealistic minds?”
Rabbi Kahn said that basically
there were three reasons for fail
ure of communism.
Marx said that communism

munism failed to take over or
even partially succeed in such
societies because Marx failed to
comprehend democracy, capitalism,
and man’s nature under such a
of a
system. , The basic tenant
capitalistic society is increasing
productivity. Therefore the dis
satisfaction necessary to introduce
the Marxist theories never af
forded itself.
SECONDLY MARX could not
comprehend human nature. Marx
believed that the family way of
life was an outmoded thing. He
failed to take into consideration
however that the child needs love

hend religion. Rabbi Kahn said
that Mara did not understand that
religion can sometimes change to
suit the society.

Affairs
To Get
Committee
Resolution
Rep. Will Smith from Beaumont told The Battalion Mon
day night that he will attempt to introduce a bill in the
House of Representatives Tuesday morning opposing the
decision made by the A&M Board of Directors to admit co
eds on a limited basis.
In a special telephone interview, Smith stated that “the
bill leaves A&M just about in the position it was a month
ago.”
The representative from Beaumont was optimistic about
the success of the bill following its introduction. “I believe
that if I can get it in, I will be able to get it passed,” he said.
SMITH pointed out however, “It takes a four-fifths vote
at this late date to introduced
a bill, and that will be hard.’
Even if the bill cannot be
introduced, the legislator in
dicated that a House resolu
tion requesting the Board of Di
rectors to reconsider their actions
will be heard by the House State
Affairs Committee Monday night.
House Resolution No. 80 asks
that at least one state institution
be maintained for men only and
another for women only.
“I think that I can put 1000 peo
ple who are in opposition to co
education in the gallery for the
committee meeting,” Smith stated.
“I could get 150 supporters from
Beaumont just by picking up the
phone,” he added.
ANOTHER resolution which
Avould request the A&M Board of
Directors to hold up any further
actions to admit co-eds will prob
ably be introduced by Wednesday,
Smith indicated. The second reso
lution is in the process of being
worded.
When asked whether or not he
thought the Supreme Court ruling
of 1960, which gave the Board
complete authority over the co-ed
question, would hold up now, Smith
stated:
No Special Dorms
Planned For Coeds
Chairman Sterling Evans had
an emphatic answer Friday aft
ernoon when approached and
asked if the Board of Directors
planned special courses and dor
mitories for coeds at A&M.
“Nothing could be further
from the thinking of the board,”
he said. “We have no such plans
in mind. And we do not believe
future boards will be interested
in adding these features.”
Mr. E\ r ans visited with student
leaders on the campus Friday
after Thursday night’s closed
meeting.
Dr. A. W. Naylor, a Duke Uni
versity scientist, will he the fea
tured speaker at the 13th annual
initiation and awards banquet of
Sigma Xi Society here Wednesday.
The event will be held at 7 p.m.
in the Memorial Student Center
Ballroom, Dr. R. J. Baldauf, pres
ident of the A&M chapter, an
nounced.
A professor of biology, Naylor
will discuss the “themes and phi
losophies of biologists in this day
of new hoi-izons in science.”
AT THE SAME time, the chap
ter will initiate 50 local scientists
into the organization, Baldauf
commented. The new initiates Avill
increase local membership to more
than 300.
“The sole purpose of Sigma Xi
is the encouragement of original
investigation in science, pure and
applied,” Baldauf said.
The banquet speaker received his
formal education at the University
of Chicago. He has had consider
able experience in both teaching
and research at Northwestern Uni
versity, University of Washington,
Yale, University of Bristol, Eng
land, Oak Ridge and other institu
tions.
NAYLOR IS a Fellow of the
American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science and of the
National Research Council. He has
served several years as an officer
in the American Society of Plant
Physiologists.
Currently a consultant to the
National Science Foundation and
the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear
Studies, he has contributed over 60
research reports in journals and
technical books in the United
States and foreign countries.
“There is no question that they
have the authority. However, they
have the authority only until it is
changed by the legislature.”
“Those of us who are supporting
this resolution and bill hold noth
ing against the Board of Directors
and President Rudder,” the legis
lator pointed out. “We are simply
trying to represent the many thou
sands who do not agree with the
Board and President Rudder,” he
said.
HOUSE Representatives from
the upper Gulf Coast, Houston and
Dallas are receiving a lot of mail
in opposition to the Board’s deci
sion, reported Smith.
He stressed the fact that Mon
day night’s committee meeting
would be open and indicated that
the committee would hear anyone
who wants to be heard.

President Earl Rudder said in

associate dean of Arts and Science,
said.
Squire, a chemical physicist and
coordinator of the institute, said
