Knowles, student pastor of

a mass meeting held Tuesday

"Pep and size characterize av

significance are qualities of the
a d v e n t u rous organization,"
Knowles went on to say, "and
the average girl will go through
college taking part in average
activities. She will participate in
campus social life, study to a
moderate degree, show school

peared in '"Cappers Farmer,""
A members of the Board of
Regents, J.. Leroy Welsh of

for his ''writings and speeches j

IN THE letter, the comittee
said, "'Our point of view is that
of the American Association of
University Professors, which,
speaking for its 42,000 members
in its 39th Annual meeting at
Chicago, March 27-28 of this
year, declared:
Experience has abundantly1
demonstrated that neither the
organizational affiliations of a
teacher, if lawful, nor his social,
economic, political or religious
opinions, however difficult fori
others to understand and how-!
ever distasteful they may be, are
sufficient evidence of disquali-j
fioation for work in the academic1
profession. j
"The tests of the fitness of a
college teacher .should be his in
tegrity and his professional com-,
petence, as demonstrated in in-1
struction and research.' " i
"'THE AMERICAN university'
exists to serve the enlightened,
felt needs of the local, national
and world community and not
the exclusive purposes of any;
special interest group. Within
this frame work, there must al
ways be room for every 'kind of
honest, informed opinion.'" j

much in the realm of ideas as
well as studies. She will become
acquainted with people and
above all she will share."
Knowles emphasized that some
girls are "eternally lonely" and
never realize a full college life.
These girls, he believed, think
other peope are trying to wrong
them in some manner.
'"Our opinion of others is re
flected within ourselves and our
opinion of the University and
people is reflected in the way we

by saying that "what you think
