can Council of Education said
yesterday.
Speaking at the 12th annual
Conference on Higher Education

seek better understanding of the
individual student while he was
an undergraduate, and build better
relations between undergraduate
and graduate education.
Speaking also at the National
Consultative Conference on Reli-
gion and the State University, he
maintained that the universities
have an important responsibility
to their students regarding the
individual's religion. The univer-
sity, he said, must provide the
means for the study of religion.
He emphasized that the churchesj
have already begun to recognize'
the need for strengthening their
ministerial services to students, a
need which the universities, as a
vital part of the students' livest
cannot afford to ignore.

The question of law as related schools. The teaching of religion
to religion in state universities in public schools is not sanctioned,

Prof. Kauper said. They are the tend to have an indoctrinating
extent to which religion courses effect on the "malleable" minds
vide them with the resources for
making inellectual decisions in
life.
Asks Respect
"One can hardly respect a sys-
tem of education that would leave
the student totally ignorant of the
religious influence on society"
which has been such a great power
in influencing the world's history,
he maintained.
Calling today's youth the "most
responsible generation of students
I've ever known." he emphasized
that the "wistful generation is
tired of living on snap Judgments."
Modern students, while main-
taining a desire for security, will
respond promisingly to campus
religious leaders and counselors
who provide intelligent and in-
spiring programs of religion point-
ed toward the achievement of a
''world of peace, justice and
brotherhood," Prof. Shedd empha-
sized.
Important Influence
But an even more important
influence on the religious life of
students, h added, "is the intelli-
gent good will of the administra-
tion."
Prof. Shedd urged universities to
enlarge faculty religious intelli-
gence and concern, creating a
curriculum relevant to the modern
student's needs which will encour-
age the development of strong
character and a life-long voca-
tional commitment to religious
values.

and the extent to which univer-
sities may' promote extra-curricu-
lar religious activities.
Cites Constitution
Prof. Kauper pointed out that
the Constitution provides that in-
dividual states may not interfere'
with the free expression of reli-
gious ideas nor may it use its
powers to discriminate or show
favoritism toward any particular
religion.

of children.
But courses in religion on an
intellectual level stimulating criti-
cal thinking may be taught to the
more mature students attending
state universities, he continued
The real question, he said, is
"not whether religion may be
studied at state universities but
whether it may be given prime
consideration as an academic
study."
To be a worthy enterprise in
state universities, Prof. Kauper
declared, religion must be taught
as an intellectual discipline, to
evoke an awareness of religion as
a vital life force and to cultivate
the mind and spirit of man.
Outlines Prerequisites
He outlined the prerequisites for
a religious program, coinciding
with his definition of what it
should include, which could be
developed at any state-supported
university.
Among the points he listed were
the necessity for the program to
operate as an elective one; the
maintenance of equality in which
no religion is given priority overj
another; the observance of the
distinction between the teaching
of religious ideas as a scholarly
pursuit and religious indoctrina-
tion; and university insistence
that all such courses meet its
usual academic standards.
In his speech on "Moral and'
Spiritual Values in the State Uni-
versity," Prof. Shedd expressed the
opinion that state universities
must make their students aware
of the "urgency of life" and pro-
Two Ann Arbor Republicans
Slated for '60 Senate Seat
Two Ann Arbor Republicans
have been dropped into the run-
ning forMichigan's United States
Senate seat coming up for grabs
in 1960.
State Representative George W.
Sallade and Congressman George
Meader are both being considered
candidates for the seat currently
held by Democratic Sen. Patrick
V. McNamara. There are also
speculations that if Meader tries
for the Senate, Rep. Sallade will
run for his seat in Congress.
Both Noncommittal
Neither Meader nor Sallade
would commit himself, but both
considered the prospects definite
possibilities.
SMeader, who has been "consid-
9'
ering" seeking the GOP nomina-
tion, said the possibility of his
candidacy should "not be over-
looked or ignored." His considera-
tions, however, have brought him
to no decision as yet, he said, ex-
plaining that there will be otherI
factors in the next two years to
affect the decision.
Prospect is "Possibility"
The prospect of his Senate can-
didacy, Rep. Sallade said, "is a
definite possibility," but he added
that "there are a lot of other pos-
sibilities as well. It's entirely too
early to consider any of them."
While not discarding the pos-
sibility of his running for Con-
gress, Rep. Sallade said he would
"cross that bridge when I come
to it."
