System Causes Adverse Talk What about this new activity point system the Associated Wom en Students have initiated? The Inquiring Reporter asked several of the feminine students on the campus for their opinions of the activity limitation idea. Patricia McKay, freshman in L. A.—"I think it is an excellent idea, on the surface. However, those girls who like activities and do them will not be influenced so very greatly to increase their studying. It should be left up to the individ ual student to allot his or her time. You have to learn how to judge your own needs sometime, and college is on of the best places to learq. how to do that.” Diane Flenner, freshman in lang uage—“If people can handle seve ral activities I see no reason why they should be forced to cut down. Somebody has to enter into school activities.” Marianne Cornell, freshman in drama—“I* think it is a good idea because this way it will force a happy medium between studying and activities. Too many girls go all out for activities and let their studies suffer. After all, studying and learning is what we are here for.” Donna Anderson, junior in music education—‘‘The ones who are in activities now are the ones who are really interested in them. I don’t believe that others will enter into activities any more than they did before, because of this system. The point system itself is rather illogically distributed. Some acti rities are given as much emphasis »s others which require much more work.” ] Joyce Anderson, sophomore in i jtrt_“I don’t think the system will , work well right at first, but it will smooth out after a while. The ^ point system will be hard to set up effectively, but the theory of flie whole thing is excellent. It will help people keep in balance.” Virginia Kellogg, junior in BA— “I think it can work, but I also think that they will have to change it around. Most of the girls feel that the system has been arbitrar illy set up without due considera tion of all factors involved." Cathy Tribe, freshman in BA— “It is a pretty good idea, except for the fact that they need to ar range some method of encouraging those girls who are not participat ing in activities now to do so. The system gives the ‘activity girls more time to study, but it is still up to them to use the extra time for that purpose.” Marilyn Holcomb, sophomore in biology—‘‘I don’t like the system! Perhaps the basic principle is al right, but it seems to me that when someone is old enough to come to college, she is old enough to gov ern her own social and scholastic life.” KWAX Ready _ (Continued from page one) three feet wide.

Byrne em phasized that the board is en dorsing the Oregon State Em ployees Association retirement program, which has been present ed to the Legislature. Of the 20 per cent increase in salaries asked by the professors, 8 per cent is included in the board’s budget request for the next two years. The budget request is also now before the legislature. Sympathy Expressed The board expressed sympathy for the professors’ cause. “There is no use erecting a lot of build ings and promising quality educa tion to the people of the state if we aren’t able to attract and hold good faculty members,” George F. Chambers, Salem, chairman pro tern of the board’s finance com mittee, said. When the board adjourned its extended morning session, mem bers had made no commitment to the professors. No information was available Tuesday afternoon as to whether the wage discussions would be continued. Howard, reached Monday even ing, declined to comment on the hearing. Peterson was unavailable. Chambers Say (Continued from page one) to some length by both Dr. and Mrs. Chambers. "If you don’t date the wrong person, you won't marry the wrong person,” Dr. Chambers observed. He emphasized the importance of ‘investigating” a possible mate be fore one became emotionally in volved and was incapable of mak ng accurate observations and de lisions. Mutual Interests Mutuality on three levels, intel ectual, physical and emotional, vas discussed. Interests, that cut icross all three levels, such as >olitical convictions and religious peliefs, and are of the utmost im portance and should be kept in nind when dating, were stressed. "There’s nothing else to do. . .it loesn’t waste gas. . .it’s expected,” vere frequent explanations receiv ;d by Dr. Chambers in previous nterviews when persons were isked about becking on dates. Mrs. Chambers claimed that ‘sincerity on dates” was import ant. “Don’t play a role,” she warn ed, “it doesn’t pay in the long run.” Ways of meeting persons to date was touched as the formal lecture drew to a close. The most common ways, Dr. and Mrs. Chambers agreed, were blind dates, pick ups, and getting acquainted through a mutual interest or friend. “How ever,” elaborated Mrs. Chambers, “the inability to get dates by one’s self, as in the case of many blind dates, again shows social inade quacy or emotional immaturity.” Questions from the group, after the lecture was finished, ranged from queries on the marriage be tween two persons of different re ligious beliefs, (which “frequently results in atheistic offspring,” stated Dr. Chambers), to a discus sion of the importance of environ ment and a person’s outward im pressions. In their third lecture on Jan. 30, Dr. and Mrs. Chambers will deal with “Engagement” and they will culminate the series with a discus sion of "Marriage,” Feb. 6. Case Advocates Return Of Reliaion to Campus "Religion an adventure in val ues must be brought to the cam pus.” That was the conviction expres sed by Dr. Harold Case in his dis cussion on "The Changing Task of the University," at the faculty din ner Monday night in the Student Union. Speaking in conjunction with Re ligious Emphasis Week, Dr. Case, newly appointed president of Bost on University, declared that we must find ways to make the cam pus religious-conscious. “We have a tendency to keep religion at the edge of the cam pus,” he said. "The universities should have religion as the moti vating force at their center.” Kdigion Offered As Solution Dr. Case observed that we have too much confusion in our coun try and at universities in particu lar. He offered religion as the solu tion to this. “We must be infused with the idea that the'person, the individual,, is the important part of a univer sity.” He pointed out that educa- | tion is more than obtaining a de gree and a job.

McGloin Gives Answer On 'What is Religion?' “What is religion?” was the question answered by Father Dan iel McGloin, head of the Loyola university philosophy department in his address last night in the SU ballroom. To be able to answer the three fundamental questions of religious society today—“The problem of the existence of God; is there a God or isn’t there a God?”, “What is God's nature?”, and “What is the relationship that man should have with God?” would clarify the reli gious aspect of a liberal education, Father McGloin said. According to Father McGloin, the divorcement of science and re ligion was one of the most unfor tunate movements of the modern time. “The answer to the first question, ‘The existence of God,’ is purely a scientific thing,” Fath er McGloin pointed out. He said that objective evidence, evidence by looking about, should prove the existence of a God. As for the second question deal ing with God's, nature, Father Mc Gloin said that there were two types of people—those who believed God as a sort of superman and pictured him as a human being or those who were agnostic and said that there must be a God but we will never know what he is like. Father McGloin said that we are the given existence as a gift of God and that God IS existence; therefore the essence of God and the existence of God are the same thing. “You cannot compare God to man materially,” Father Mc Gloin said, “because you would be comparing the perfect infinite be ing with the imperfect finite be ing. “Religion is primarily concern ed with man’s relationship to God," Fathci McGloin pointed out. Therefore man's relationship to man, as in sociology, is not reli gion. “Life is a period of proba tion and our reason for existing is to work toward the eternal life ahead," Father McGloin emphasiz ed. He said the answers to these questions were from a philosophic point of view; that we have two other wisdoms, that of divine faith, or a belief because God revealed it Himself; and wisdom of vision, which is reserved for the world hereafter. Within the scope of supernatural religion or revealed religion the individual must answer two ques tions: “Has there been a revelation by God?,” and "Where can we to day find the revelation?” The answers to these two questions lie in the acceptance or rejection that Christ delivered the revela tion. Father McGloin said “There is no in-between; only an accep tance, a rejection, or mental con fusion.” Cosmopolitan ClubJ To Visit Corvallis Cosmopolitan club members have been invited by Oregon State’s Cosmopolitan group to a party starting at 8 p.m. Friday in Cor vallis.
