Religion-Ethics
Course Open
For Juniors
Knowledge of French,
German Is Required
The University's degree program
in Religion and Ethics is a field
of concentration open to juniors
in the literary college this fall.
Consisting of three divisions, the
program contains courses bearing
upon religion as an aspect of civ-
ilization, thought and social rela-
tions.
Students entering the program
should contact a member of the
committee which includes Profes-
sors William Frankena, chairman,
DeWitt H. Parker, John F. Shep-
ard, William H. Worrell, Arthur E.
Wood and Howard Y. McClusky.
Freshmen who want to prepare
for that program should acquire
a reading knowledge of French or
German and take some philosophy
and psychology courses in their
sophomore years.
Dr. Edward W. Blakeman, re-
search consultant in religious edu-
cation writes that "no student is
getting a higher education in our
era unless he is learning to relate
the great Religions: Hinduism,
Judaism, Christianity, Zoroaster-
anism and Islam to old Persia
their birthplace (now Iran). Nor
is he getting a Religious Education
if he fails to develop in his mind
his personality, his emotions, the
loves and hates of the saints who
originated Ahimsa the essence of
Hinduism; Justice the key to Ju-
daism; Love, the center of Chris-
tianity; Benevolence the central
motive of Zoroaster; and Unity or
Oneness of God, the appeal of Mo-
hamet."
A literary college programming
committee had this to say about
non-sectarian religious education:
"The history of thought cannot
be made complete without includ-
ing the history of the great re-
ligions. Psychology, philosophy,
sociology, and anthropology would
all be incomplete without the in-
clusion of their religious aspects.
Art has often found its climax in
religious expression."
And further on the statement
discusses the planning of courses
for the degree program: "The
course material has been arranged,
therefore, to emphasize the fact
that religion is basically a part
of life and to enable the student to
comprehend it, first as an aspect
of civilization, second as an aspect
of thought, and third as an aspect
of social relationships and insti-
tutions."
Dr. Blakeman advises students
to "get Philosophy of Religion of
the philosophers, over in Mason
Hall, find the History of Religion
by study with historians in Haven

Hall, and do not be afraid to
take Psychology of Religion and
Sociology of Religion of those
moderns in Haven and Science
Hall."

Place To Play,
Discuss Ideas
Performs Cultural.,
Religious Functions
Bnai B'rith Hillel Foundation
will continue to perform social,
cultural and religious functions
for Jewish students and also pro-
vide them with a place to study
learn and exchange ideas.
Last year Hillel celebrated its
twenty first birthday by having a
spring fomal. Other activities of
the year consisted of the United
Jewish Appeal fund raising cam-
paign, which netted $9,000 among
students, or $1,500 over the quota.
"Volpone" was shown under the
joint sponsorship of Art Cinema
League and Hillel. Hillelzapoppin
and the Spring Carnival were also
included in the social season.
Hiilel moved in June to its new
location, 2101 Hill Street when its
old home at Hill and Haven was
doomed by the expansion of the
campus. The new home is larger
than the old Foundation, and the
two and one-half acres of grounds
with the house will enable Hillel
to organize outdoor programs.
Rabbi Herschel Lymon is now in
his third year as director of the
Foundation. Rabbi Lymon served
in the Pacific Theatre during the
War as an Army chaplain. Mrs.
LilliansGoldenberg is program di-
rector. Student officers for the
fall are Howard Freeman, presi-
dent, Michael Sherman and Doris
Seder, vice presidents, and Helen
Siskin, secretary.
The program for orientation
week will feature "open house"
afternoons and evenings Sept.
17-19, with refreshments and
dancing. On the evening of Sep-
tember 19, the Intercollegiate
Zionist Federation of America will
conduct an open house.
For the fall, Hillel has planned
a broad program with outstand-
ing lectures and an active social
program.
Rabbi Lymon will hold seminars
on the "Analysis of Contempo-
rary Jewish Problems." In addi-
tion, there will be beginners' and
advanced classes in Hebrew.
Weekly Sabbath services will be
held at 7:45 p.m. Friday, to be fol-
lowed by fireside discussions. High
Holy Day Services will be held at
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Rab-
bi Lymon will be assisted by stu-
dent cantors. Rosh Hashonah
services will be held 8-10 p.m. Oct.
3, and 10-12 a.m. Oct. 4. Yom Kip-
pur services will be 8-10 p.m. Oct.
12, and 10 a.m. until sundown on
Oct. 13.

Filling the need, long recog-
nized by educators, for more in-
dividualized instruction for su-
perior students, the College Hon-
ors Program in Liberal Arts will
again be in operation this fall.
U Extension
Service Takes
Prof' toPupil
Far larger than the campus
student body, is the vast audience
of the University's Extension
Service which reverses the process
of education by taking the pro-
fessors and the texts out to the
student.
During the past year, more than
80,000 people attended a total of
550 University lectures in every
corner of the state, from Detroit to
the furthest reaches of the Upper
Peninsula. To maintain this pro-
gram. 148 professors took time
from their regular classes on
campus to travel to 157 Michigan
towns.
Although the figure of 80,000
represents some duplication, the
Extension service can still claim
to be the octopus-like big brother
to all other University depart-
ments.
The Service offers 423 credit
and non-credit courses in all parts
of the state, including correspon-
dence courses. In addition, It pro-
vides correspondenceacourses to
residents of all 48 states and to
GIs' all over the world.
In all, virtually every commu-
nity and county is represented in
the Extension Service programs,
according to Everett J. Soop, as-
sociate director of the service.
All courses are taught by mem-
bers of the regular University fac-
ulty in addition to their duties on
campus.
Educational facilities in the
Upper Peninsula were recently en-
larged with the opening of a cen-
ter in Escanaba.
Non-creedit Courses

The Honors Program, established
in the Literary College in 1939,
was discontinued during the warc
and resumed in 1946. Througha
work in the program, qualified
juniors and seniors are able tos
carry on an integrated course ofI
studies, independent of the de-
mands of departmental specializa-
tion.s
Instead of concentrating in
their junior and senior years.
honors students elect the Degree
Program in Honors. Two years'
study of such subjects as the1
Development of Science, Feudal-
ism, and Capitalism, forms ofr
Literature, and the Renaissance
have been offered irt the past.,
This fall's program is calledt
Ethics and Politics. The list ofE
readings includes Plato, Aristotle,1
Hobbes, Hume, the Constitution
and Dewey.]
Study groups are much smaller
than the regular University
classes, consisting of six or eight
students and a tutor. The groupt
meets Bach week and in addition,
students have weekly conferencesf
with their tutor.
Emphasis is placed on careful,
intensive reading. Limited num-
bers in classes and conferences
give the student an opportunityt
to analyze and discuss the read-t
ing closely, and to investigate
questions raised by the readings.
By introducing the student to
stimulating material on the sub-1
ject under study, and developing
specialized habits of study, it is
expected that the student will bet
better equipped to develop his ownt
thinking.
To qualify, a student should be
beginning his junior year this se-1
mester, and must have a B or1
better average. Five hours credit{
is given for the Honors Seminar,t
and students in the Program are
also required to take additional
courses including Bible, political
theory and philosophy.
An oral examination is given at
the end of each semester and pa-;
pers are written during the term.
Qualified students interested in.
the Program should see Dean
Peake, Prof. S. D. Dodge, or Prof.1
Arthos during registration week.

zation, the Gabriel Richard Club., ,

tual problems and hold their own
special parties.
Among the facilities of the
Newman Club are a well-equipped
library containing books on phil-
osophy, biography, fiction, history,
the Scriptures and apologetics.
The clubrooms give students a
chance to talk, play bridge, ping
gong, dance or listen to records.
lasmuch as the Chapel functions
entirely through the aid of the
students, there is a wide range of
activities for their participation.
The choirs, altar society, ushers,
acolytes. baby sitting committee,

Chronicle)-all these are made up
of University students.

expected that the dormitory will
be opened for spring semester use,
however.
Still in the drawing board stage,
but planned for eventual construc-
tion are an addition to the Gen-
eral Library, a new men's resi-
dence hall and several other units.
