Dr. Poling Lashes Out Against
Intolerance in Race and Reliction
"Our contribution toward world
peace is unity," stated Dr. Daniel
Poling, prominent religious leader,
as he spoke to the somewhat scattered audience at the Artist's course
last Thursday evening, in Warriner
auditorium.
"A real unity has the unique
quality of strengthening every
individual and group loyalty," Dr.
Poling said. "A cause is required
for unity. We must concentrate
on winning the peace. It will have
on winning the peace. It is harder for us to live together than it
was for our soldiers to die together. Peace must be won at
home against indifference, and if
we are to be "Americans All" we
must share what we have with
others."
Dr. Poling pointed out that, "The
way out of war is for us to have patience and strength." He also pointed out very effectively that there
was no thought in combat about the
differences between Catholic, Protestant, and Jew. There was not a
uniformity, but a unity.

AFTER HIS SPEECH, Dr. Poling
came down off the stage and met
many of the people in the audience
who wished to express their appreciation for his fine talk.
Dr. Olaf Steg, head of the music
department, introduced Dr. Poling and told the audience some of
his diversified background. Besides having been elected president

of the "Christian Herald" since

several years of service at the

now plans to direct the Chapel of
