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.”

Chancellor Charles D. 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.”
