Panel Ends Reliqious Week
By DON SMITH
The YWCA-sponsored Friend
ship Festival opened, and Brother
hood week closed on the campus
with a panel on “Religion and
Officer Tells
Vet Restriction
Veterans who transfer from one
school to another for any reason
Require veterans administration
approval in advance, if they wish
to continue receiving subsistance
and tuition.
, This GI bill restriction was em
phasized today by Richard Men
gler, VA training officer in charge
in this area.
T Eligibility Certificates
Although supplemental certifi
cates of eligibility are essential
several hundred students have
moved to different Oregon schools
this term without them, Mengler
Said. All of, these had to be in
terrupted on VA payrools, and
large number are running into
1 difficulty qualifying for clearan
ces.
I* Best pass to a new certificate is
a statement from the first school
attesting to the veteran’s "satis
factory progress.” If a veteran
I completes one course and wishes to
? enroll in another, the school’s re
,'port of completion clears the way
I with the VA.
r “A veteran who is flunking out
in his studies and wishes to tran
sfer has a harder row to hoe,”
Mengler explained. ‘‘If he feels
that a change of course at another
-school will put him back on his
feet, he must talk it over with the
VA’s advisement service before
he can be cleared for a supplemen
tal certificate.
Campus Floaters
I “If he has flunked out and wants
to atend another school which has
-a lowerr.scholastic floor, he must
do so without VA assistance. This
rule is aimed at ‘campus floaters’,
and it may be set aside where ill
ness or other hardships have caus
ed a veteran’s failure, or later, af
ter a notable comeback.”
“Easiest way to clear the decks
for a transfer is before leaving the
present school,” Mengler advised.
“All transfers go through several
separate actions in the VA’s re
gional office, and the only way
-that delays in payments can be
avoided is to notify the agency
well in advance that a change is
planned.”
, A BONNY PLAID
FOR SPRING
Hailes
^APPAREL—1044 Wffl,
World Order.” Rabbi Leo Trepp,
Bishop Francis McConnell, and
Father Leo J. Linahen discussed
the topic before 75 townspeople-and
students in alumni hall of Gerlin
ger.
Biorg Hansen, YWCA president,
introduced the speakers and was
moderator.
The need for courage in man to
overcome the fear that he will fail
in his search for security was
stressed by the Rabbi. The immedi
ate result of religious action should
not be foremost, he avers, but em
phasis must be put in the final out
come.
“Too many people,” warned the
rabbi, “try to find in religion a sed
ative for frayed nerves and an es
cape from responsibility. Religion
does not remove responsibility, but
gives us a challenge to go out and
work for final peace and security.”
One of the appeals of commun
ism, he told his audience, may be
in the belief that a person can lose
himself in a mass. This running of
persons toward the safety of a
mass gives it a tremendous power,
making it a force of destruction.
He who puts his faith in God
will not fail,” claims the Rabbi,
“because he participates in the
causes of world events as a serv
ant of God. Out of this true appli
cation of religion will come a bet
ter world order.”
Immediate Necessities First
Immediate world necessities
must be attended to first, Bishop
McConnell contended. First, the
people of the world must be helped
to their feet, leaving the other
problems to be settled later, he
said.
“The people of the world are hun
gry,” declared the Bishop “and if
a new world order is to result, the
countries must draw on the re
sources of the United States.”
Quibbling over whether or not
the people will know how to use
the goods and materials sent them
is, in the opinion of Bishop McCon
nell, a waste of time.
“Most any hungry man knows
how to use food,” he declared. “If
we lay now a foundation in human
kindness and good will, we may
furnish something of a solution to
the prevailing condition.”
The essential and inalienable
rights that follow upon, the accept
ance of religion as a dominant fac
. i
tor in shaping the new world order
was the topic discussed by Father
Linahen.
He enumerated the right: to
serve and worship God in public
and private; to protection of just
law without discrimination as to
race, creed, or religion; to freedom
of expression and of information
and communication; of education;
to petition the government; of as
sistance from society.
Claiming that the family was a
unit of society that was deserving
of special consideration he claimed
the right of persons to bear chil
dren, be properly housed, to live
in a community free of immoral
conditions, and to have religious
education for children.
“If these rights are not given
the people in this country,” stated
Linahen, “it is vain to think of in
ternational order.”
World Government Favored
Rabbi Trepp said that the aim
for a world government should not
deter the people from doing imme
diately what has to be done to at
tain it, but rather the aim should
be a challenge.
Anyimng mat will help out in
mutual respect leads to a world
government,” Bishop McConnell
said. “It is a long process to attain
a world government, but we can
take the first step now.”
Father Linahen expressed the
belief that a federation of world
states is not possible but it is to
be wished, hoped, and prayed for.
He said that some functions of a
world government, such as a legal
basis for deliberation between
countries, are absolutely necessary
at the present time.
