EDITORIAL COMMENT
Proposed Credit Policy . . .
This proposal is now before the University
Senate tad will be considered ot he next regu
lar meeting on Feb. T3.
Educational policy adopted at this time to meet
conditions brought about by the call of students
to the armed forces will doubtless remain the
policy of the University for many years. It will,
therefore, affect the preparation of many students
whose future educational welfare must be pro
tected. To assure the most favorable conditions for
the later professional, educational, and personal
development of the students, the following pol
icy !s endorsed by the University Senate and rec
ommended to the faculties of the various colleges.
This policy is recommended as a guide and the
case of each student may be considered on an in
dividual basis.
1. Any student of the University who is called
Into the armed forces may apply for credit in the
courses" he is carrying in the amount specified
below provided he has a record of 4 or better in
each course for which credit is desired.
(a) One-hall credit without examination after
eight (8) weeks attendance. Upon return to the
University the student must establish full 'credit
for each course which is a prerequisite to a
succeeding course in the curriculum or a course
requirement of a Board of Licensure by re-taking
it or passing an advanced standing examin
ation. (b) Three-fourths credit without examina
tion after twelve (12) weeks of attendance.
Behind Headlines . . .
The following article appeared in the Iowa
State Daily and because of its timely and mean
ingful content, we felt students and faculty mem
bers here at the University might profit from it

Yet, how many of us know the stories behind the
headlines? In fact, how many of us even take the
time to read the stories behind the headlines?"
"How much do we know about the Korean con

rent events? One that would carry from one to
Upon return to the University the student must
establish full credit for each course which is a
prerequisite to a succeeding course in the cur
riculum or a course requirement of a Board of
Licensure by re-taking it or passing an advanc
ed standing examination, or,
(c) Full credit after twelve (12) weeks of
attendance if the student can show evidence that
he has substantially completed the work In a
satisfactory manner indicating a competence
adequate to further pursue the study at a higher
level.
(d) University rules do not permit fractional
credit hours to be recorded. In cases where a
student earns a fraction of a credit hour in
any course, the instructor may stipulate what
the student must do if he desires to convert the
fractional to a full credit hour.
2. Any such student may, with the approval of
the department and the dean of the college con
cerned, request examinations for partial or full
credit in any of the courses he is carrying. Upon
return to the University the student who has re
ceived partial credit must establish full credit
for each course which is preerequisite to a suc
ceeding course in the curriculum or a course re
quirement of a Board of Licensure by re-taking
it or passing an advanced standing examination.
3. It is recommended that no departure be made
from the requirements for degrees that now ob
tain. 4. It is recommended that no departure be made
from the policies concerning payment of fees and
refunds that now obtain.

Democracy in Religion
To the Editor:
The two articles concerning
religion on our campus have no
doubt caused a discussion within
some groups.
I think, first of all, that ?t
would be wise to give a meaning
of some sort as to the implica
tions of a democracy. I know
well that within a democracy
people have a right to voice
their opinions without fear of
being ridiculed to the degree of
preventing future expressions of
a belief. People, however, sink
into obscurity when the society
arrogantly denies them their
support by indirect methods.
This is one reason why commu
nism in America has no foot
hold. (Communism to me im
plies atheism I believe in
Christ in his most literal form
please don't accuse" me.)
Secondly, a democracy implies
a will to know the truth. I would
deduct by this that the people
who teach this truth should seek
to honestly know both sides of
an argument before he or she pre
sents it to a class. That to me is
a sign of a really educated in
structor.
I would like to have the "stu
dent' who wrote the last article,
in answer to Phil Hain, fully
realize that it is the University
administration who supports YM,
YW, the 13 student pastors, the
six student houses, and Religion -in-Life
week, and not necessarily
all the instructors in particular.
It must also be remembered that
not all the students on this cam
pus (religious groups as well)
support the above mentioned
groups, houses, persons and in
stitutions. I am not denying the right of
an instructor to his own opin
ions, but I firmly deny him the
right to an opinion that is biased
and has no understanding of the
opposite argument Just because
a man is a professor, it does not
mean that his word is law or that
he is God's rrioiithpiece.
I am a Christian, and I stand
for unbiased truth and honesty,
but when an instructor in the de
partment of sociology can take
scripture out of its context, make
fun of it, and get the class to
laugh at it, then I have a right
to protest! .......
There are religious people in
this state who pay their taxes in
support of this school, wnen
their owm sods and daughters
come out of University with a ra
tionalized, liberal approach to the
Bible, then they have a right to
revolt!
In last analysis, then, I think
I would say that if religion is to
be taught, let us be honest in pre
senting the arguments of the
Evangelicals and Catholics as
well as those of the rationalists.
If we are not to emphasize reu
cion then let an instructor re
main quiet until he knows both
sides of an argument and can
logically present the facts of botn
sides.

There are special opportunities

Battle Won for Equal Rights;
Girls Added to Harvard Classes
. By Connie Gordon
Something new has been added at Harvard
girls
This battle for women's equal rights first
started in 1S79 when the principal of Cambridge
school for girls decided that his young women
should have the educational opportunities as the
young gentlemen students of that time were re
ceiving. He furthered his little "equality" cam
paign by inviting several Harvard professors to
teach their courses at his school. This, naturally,
brought an explosive response from the more
conservative groups.
But, as time marched on, even the most con
servative profs on campus began walking ever to
the Cambridge school to lecture to the ladies.
It took 71 long years, but as a result, all in
coming freshmen are accepted on equal basis,
regardless of sex.
Which all goes to sho-w, you can never under
estimate the power of a woman.

Of course, if they don't net enough money from

To the Students:
It is not frequently that the
students of this campus are
given the privilege of hearing an
internationally renowned speaker
of the caliber of Dr. Hans Kel
sen. Dr. Kelsen lectured to sev
eral classes in a departmental
convocation Monday at 10 a.m.
on "Recent Trend in the Law
in the United Nations." Dr. Kel
sen is amply qualified to speak
on this subject because he was
the legal adviser to the San
Francisco conference, where the
Charter of the United Nations
was drafted.
At this lecture, Dr. Kelsen
happened to speak longer than
the regular rlass lime allows,
whereupon part of the students
took it upon themselves to walk

was not only a gross breach of
etiquette but a vulgar display of

Book Exchange
Successful at CU
A book exchange sponsored by
the Independent Students asso

successful by the president.
The book exchange's purpose
was to help needy students econ
omize on books.
ISA suggested to the sellers
that they ask for 65 per cent of
the price for which the students
bought the books. In this way
the students selling the books
would get more money for them
than the bookstores would have
given them and the students buy
ing the books would buy them
for less than the usual second
hand retail price.
The regents of the university
had tie students register the
books with them In order that
others could check the files and
contact the registrants.
Approximately 400 books were
registered with them and there
wag a turnover of 40 per cent. I
