University Ave. 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. on campus. state universities and in public The question of law as related schools. The teaching of religion to religion in state universities in public schools is not sanctioned, presents two basic considerations, he explained, because it would 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. PROF. PAUL KAUPER ... discusses religion may be included in the curriculum 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. The term "separation of church. 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."
