u. of M. Speaker
Says Fair Sex Is
Jungle-Minded
DR.. Mackay of Princeton
Describes Pattern
of Living.
BY the Associatec Press.

BY the ASSoclateC treSS.
COLLEGE PARK, Md, November
26.-Dr. John Alexander Mackay,
president of Princeton Theological
Seminary, today described the 'pe-
culiar temptation of the fair sex"-as
q form Of "jungle-mindedness."
DR.. Mackay addressed the University
of Maryland student body. He was the
first speaker brought to the campus
by the new Committee on Religious
Affairs and Social Life.
1.-THE first type or pattern Of living
or thinking Is jungle mindedness, he
said. This deals with the will TO
power, as the python and his prey.
This is the theory Of using your wiles
or force to eliminate each other.
Another phase of his pattern Of
jungle-mindedness is that Of an in
dividual using his talents or anything
he has to attract others to himself
for selfish or sinister purposes. This
form Is the peculiar temptation OF the
fair sex"
Or. Mackay also said no civilization
that is going to last can be based on
"jungle-mindedness" or "star-minded-
ness" which, he said. is similar to
the type of government in Germany
To perpetuate itself, he asserted, q
nation must have as its basis Christ
mindedness." He explained this Is Q
co-mingling of persons IN mutual
respect and diffusion Of ideals and
personalities despite difference.
