Chairman Basye put this item on the agenda to he discussed in the future, saying it was a “touchy ! question." Dean Nickerson said it would be a difficult decision to decide "whether the University has a legal right to interfere with a j student’s education to get him to testify." • Heard a suggestion from Jesse Puckett, associate professor of physical education and Com mittee member, that the ASUO president build up a back log of student members who would be capable of serving on the Conduct Committee in the event that a student had to quit before his term was ended. A reason she gave was that a lack of student members kept the Committee from meeting earlier this term Student member Bob Carl said ASUO President Steve Gold schmidt is presently interviewing prospective members and will make his appointments soon. One student who was to be serving on the Committee this term was Dick Siefke, who drop ped out of school and joined the Marine Corps. • Set May 11 as a date at which the Committee's annual re port should be finished.

Broadway 342-3951 Browsing Room Speaker Discusses Religion, Politics lly MAXINF FLLIOTT Associate Editor Describing himself as coming from “a long line of intolerant Christians,” Dayton D. McKean told a Drowsing Hoorn audience Wednesday evening that religion has always played a large part in the politics of any country. McKean, dean of the Graduate School and professor of politi cal science at the University of Colorado, was brought to the Uni versity as part of the Religion and Culture week. McKean said religion has been an integral part of politics in the United States since the adoption of the First Amendment in 1791. The First Amendment, which pro vides for the free exercise of re ligion without interference from Vongress, only recently has be gun to have relevance regarding the states, McKean said. Worded Specifically In fact, McKean said, the Founding Fathers specifically worded the amendment to exclude the states, since most states were predominantly of one reli gion, and they did not want the federal government to inter fere. It was not until Near vs. Minne sota in 1931 that practice of re ligion was applied to the states. Since then, McKean said, there have been a number of interest ing cases involving the free ex ercise of religion and local gov-1 ernment. In South Carolina Citing the case of Morrison vs. The House of God in South Car olina. McKean said the State Su- j preme Court there found it was legal for a local government to zone a church out of town so, that they could practice religion freely. "The pastor, who repre sented a Pentecostal church, con tended that it was fitting to raise one’s voice all day and all night in praise of the Lord,” McKean said. “However, the columns of the church had to be padded to keep the faithful from injuring I themselves, and it was then that the city zoned them out of town "The city said that by doing this | the church could make as much j noise as they liked without both ering any one in town.” The church lost its case, and I the church remained outside the j city limits. In another example, McKean said it was possible for a church to practice something otherwise Political Scientist To Lecture Here Christian Bay, political scien tist from Stanford University, will be a guest lecturer at the University today. Bay will discuss "Implications of Behavioral Research for the Theory of Democracy” during his public lecture at 8 p.m. in 231 Commonwealth. Bay has taught at Michigan State University and the Univer sity of California at Berkeley. He was a fellow of the Center for the Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford, and is now with Stanford Uni versity's Institute for the Study of Human Problems. Bay has published widely and in 1959 received the Woodrow Wilson award from the Ameri can Political Science Association for his book, "The Structure of Freedom.” 1 o* =r cr cr o uo C£2 2 MDHHin so i fooleo , YOU, TOO. a brief pause for tuts one SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Topjor ;+-• SationcL Splits...

In a case before the Circuit Court of Appeals of California, Indian cultists defended—success fully-—their right to use this drug in the practice of their re ligion. Turning to religion as a lobby i group, McKean noted that “you often find strange bedfellows." He said, “Picture the American Senate to Meet To Discuss Bill The ASUO Senate will meet at 6:30 today in room 366 Comm.

Well, they did—twice—first against Tru man’s medical plan and again against Medicare.”' legislation He also pointed to the parts various churches have played con cerning legislation on such diver sified questions as birth control, gambling, censorship of text books, divorce, and the like. “De spite the Catholic Church, it looks like New York is going to liberalize its divorce laws,” Mc Kean observed. McKean said that it was diffi cult to make generalizations about religion and politics. Many churches, he pointed out, will disagree about how legislation actually affects the practice of religion, while others, such as the Jews, have never tried to impose their views on others. “I guess it all depends on how you look at it,” he concluded.
