Speaking on "The Daily Prac tice of Civil Liberties," he said that civil liberties are, practiced in daily life by both the people and the government, and that the main problem is the balancing of the necessity for organization and the necessity for freedom. There are three influences ex --erted by the people. ' First, there is the energetic demand for personal liberties. Second, there is the occasional demand for liberties for other groups. Third, there is the guid ance of and pressure put on gov ernment. Malin spoke on the daily prac tice of civil liberties in govern ment. What government should be interested in is the 'disloyal acts of people, he said, not their opinions. He said he considers "witch hunting" a deflection of effort from the main purpose. Malin said that whether the decisions concerning civil liber ties are legislators, administra tors, or judges, they are :usually choices of degree rather than kind. In a question and answer period, Malin said he didn't ap prove of the loyalty oath bill now pending in th e Pennsylvania legislature.

A proposal to increase history, literature, philosophy, social sicence, and art-music requirements and `to abolish the Lower Division of the School of Liberal Arts was approved Tuesday night by a meeting of the Liberal Arts faculty. The proposal, which was presented by the Liberal Arts planning committee, will have to be adopted by the College Senate before it can go into effect. This probably would not be before September 1952. The new plan would require students in Liberal Arts to take six credits each of history, Eng lish composition, literature, phil osophy, and art-music;• three credits of psychology; and four credits of physical education. Twelve credits each would be required in the fields of lan guages, natural science or math ematics, and social sciences; 53 credits would be required in the major subject and electives; and men would be required to take six credits of ROTC. The art-music, history, and philosophy requirements would •be raised from three to six credits because the committee feels that a single semester's work in these fields is inadequate. The English composition, psychology, an d physical education requirements are unchanged from the present plan. Lit -Requirements Journalism, speech, or ad vanced composition could no longer be substituted for the six credits in literature required. However, these could be elected from American or British litera ture or foreign literature in trans lation as long as at least three credits are taken in British or American literature. Th e committee recommends that six of the 12 credits in social sciences be taken on one of the following three fields: economics, sociology, or political science, and that three credits be taken in each of the other two fields. The committee also recom mends that the natural science or mathematics' credits be taken in not fewer than two of the fol lowing three fields: physics, chemistry, and geology; botany and zoology; or mathematics.. It New Committees Girl Gymnasts Perform also suggests that at least six credits be taken in some one field. Lab Work Required If enough laboratory space can be provided, the natural science courses elected will be required to be bona fide laboratory study. The language requirements, as in the present plan, could be passed by either course work or by examination. According to the new plan, the number of credits required in electives and the major subject has been reduced from 60 to 53, bringing the total credits for graduation to 132 for men and 126 for women, which is the same as the present plan.
