1 In other business, the Commit
tee:
• Discussed the possibility of
establishing a system whereby a
| student could be subpoenaed to
appear in Student Court if he
I refuses to do so voluntarily.
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.

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.

of Behavioral Research for the
Theory of Democracy” during his

Commonwealth.
Bay has taught at Michigan
State University and the Univer
sity of California at Berkeley.
He was a fellow of the Center

In a case before the Circuit
Court of Appeals of California,
Indian cultists defended—success
fully-—their right to use this

Turning to religion as a lobby i

often find strange bedfellows."
He said, “Picture the American

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.
