Hillberry. In protest against the annual Campus Conference on Religion,, Prof. Alfred H. Kelly, chairman of the history department, re- cently moved before WSU's Uni- versity Council that the Council express itself "in principal op- posed to classroom appearances of representatives of churches and other religious establishments for the purpose of expounding reli- gious doctrine." Religion in Life Week began four years ago with the approval of the WSU and under the direc- tion of its office of religious affairs. Denominations Invited The various denominations rep- resented on campus invite speak- ers to the campus during the1 week. A list of available speakers is then given to all professors, who are free to invite any one speaker to their classes. Students who ob- 5. Anatomy of A Murderer - Traver . 6.

Prof. Kelly, a nationally recog- nized expert on the Constitution,, contended the Conference violates the First Amendment which calls for separation of church and state. At a later meeting held Dec. 4, during Religion in Life Week, the Council passed another resolution dealing with the Conference, which also advised against inviting reli- gious leaders to lecture in class- rooms. The Council's statement, how- ever, stressed that the Campus Conference on Religion serves a desirable purpose and should be fostered. It furthered that the right of the students to believe or to reject must be recognized. Resolution Presented Another resolution for Hilberry to consider was drawn up by the Student-Faculty Council (S- FC). It asserted that "... religious speakers, or for that matter speak- ers of any sort, may be invited to any class by the. instructor at his disgression . . . for the purpose of enlightenment and education .,. the material being presented be- ing subject to the same critical ap- praisal as other materials in the course." The S - PC resolution further stressed that it should not be con- strued to ". . . express S-FC's ap- proval of such appearances by representatives or, churches . . and other groups, both secular and religious, for the purpose of in- doctrination or propaganda. University Council President Winfred Harbison expressed the probability that Hilberry will approve the excluding of religious speakers from classrooms except those whose subject matter is con- cerned with religion in a literary or historical context. fave a WORIP of FUN!

Deciding to prove this false, the two disguise themselves, each making love to the other's fiance, with complete success. COLLEGE NEWS ROUNDUP: Illinois Coeds Stage Food Strike Law Staff Approves Revisions The faculty of the law school recently adopted the changes in counseling suggested by the Aca- demic Committee of the Student Bar Association. In former years there was no organized counseling system. The committee felt this acted as a deterrent to adequate counseling because students often hesitated to confide in professors from whom they took courses. In the new plan, which is effec- tive immediately, every freshman entering Law School is assigned to an adviser. It is expected that the classes of 1960 and '61 will receive their assignments before the Christmas vacation. The committee listed four ad- vantages in the newly devised plan. They are: 1) Each partici- pating teacher has volunteered to act as an adviser and is interested in the program; 2) The student will have the same adviser for his entire law school career; 3) Con- sultation with the advised is not compulsory; 4) The student is still free to seek advice from any other faculty member. The report concludes, "Because the new program is entirely op- tional, each student will receive only as, much from the program as he wishes." Caroling Party Set by League A Christmas caroling party will be held at 9 p.m. Thursday on the Diagonal. Prof. Philip A. Duey will con- duct the Men's Glee Club of The Friars. An octet from the- Michi- gan Marching Band will also per- form. Both the Glee Club and the Friars will lead the singing of the students that come to the caroling party. Also, each of the groups wil perform separately. The singing is sponsored by the League's Special Projects Com- mittee, according to Sandra Weiss, '60, chairman. lOe Baa Baa Black Sheep - Boyington $4.50 Ii.

NO 3-4151 PROVIDENT MUTUALw Life Insurance Company of Philadelphia By RUTHANN RECHT CHAMPAIGN, Ill - Protesting the way in which their food is; prepared, more than 500 dormi- tory residents at the University of Illinois recently staged a hunger strike. The coeds took their places at tables in the residence hall din-. ing rooms but refused to eat when. the meal was served. Not all resi- dents felt the same about the food as the instigators of the demon- stration. Estimates of those who ate their dinner ranged to about one-quarter of the residents. In fact many of the coeds rejected the main course, but decided to eat when dessert was served. Weight conscious residents have objected to having potatoes every night. The demonstration followed by about three weeks the hanging in effigy of Mrs. Elizabeth Lam- bert, food production manager of the men's residence halls in sup- port of similar complaints voiced by the men. COLUMBUS,m 0 - Five fresh- men were dismissed from Ohio State University recently for haul- ing an embalmed body to the uni- versity from a nearby town. Executive Dean William S. Guthrie said he had to consider the university's reputation as it was represented by the students. By their admitted activity, in transporting the body, they brought discredit to Ohio State, he added. MINNEAPOLIS -A proposal to' modify the University of Minne- sota's policy to allow campus or- ganizations to discriminate on a religious basis was not approved by the Inter-Fraternity Council recently. The proposal, included in a let-. ter to the Council from the uni- versity's Senate Committee on Student Affairs, was turned down on the grounds that it was "un- clear." The IFC voted not to take action on the proposal until it is clarified. . . * LOS ANGELES - A homemade time bomb was found recently un- der the cheerleaders' platform at UCLA. Police said the bomb could have been placed under the platform at any time since the stand was erected in November and could have killed anyone within 50 feet if it had exploded. Police as yet have no leads on the identity of the would-be killer, but they surmise he must have been somewhat mentally unbal- anced. ITHACA, N.Y. -The Human Relations Commission of the Stu- dent Council at Cornell University has recently issued a policy state- ment on discrimination in hous- ing. This statement is directed at those landlords who show bias to- wards foreign and Negro students. The Council recommended that they "change" their policies and make rooming facilities available on an equitable basis. * * * MADISON, Wisc. - This week students dressed in rubber suits in eight-degree weather, chopped a hole through two inches of Lake Mendota ice to take a swim in front of Tripp Hall, a men's dor- mitory, at the University of Wis- consin. A hundred feet offshore a rock shot up from the ice and a hand waved. The small group on the bank were shocked. Then a hand groped around the hole and dis- appeared into the water. The students explained they were practicing using underwater breathing apparatus, diving and having fun with the people on shore.

We have spent more than a billion dollars since 1946 to keep ahead of the demand for more electricity, gas and steam. We will spend $800 million more in the next 5 years because of the expanding needs of our fast-changing territory. That means outstanding opportunity for young men with ability, ideas and ambition. This is particularly important: Con Edison has 800 top man. agement and staff positions. 90% of these must be filled with new men during the next 15 years almost entirely because of retirements.
