Asks 'institutional Climate'
Senate
Wants
The Senate subcommittee on general education recommended
to University Senate Thursday that the University establish an
“institutional climate” to encourage students to develop an aware
ness of moral and ethical values and a positive philosophy that pro
vides a balance between personal and community welfare.
To achieve this, the committee
recommended that students be
required to schedule courses in
economics, commerce, ethics, soci
ology, and psychology which
best fulfill the objective.
The recommendations were
part of a 13 point report submit
ted by Ernest W. Callenbach,
committee chairman, to strength
' en the program of general educa
i tion at the University.
Discussion of the report was
postponed until a special Senate
meeting to be called at a later
date by President Milton S. Eisen
hower.
Among the other objectives
and recommendations included in
the report were:
1. To analyze the belief that all
paths of knowledge are open to
anyone who will seek them.
2. To analyze the interrelation
ship among various fields of en
deavor.
To achieve these objectives the
committee recommended that stu
dents should be required to sched
ule courses in several fields: phy
sical sciences, social sciences, hu
manities, the arts, and literature.
3. To foster an understanding
of the scientific method. It was
recommended that general cours
es in physics, chemistry, biology,
and earth sciences be given, on
two levels: basic courses for non
science students, and advanced
courses for technical students.
4. To foster an understanding
of society and one’s responsibili
ties to it. The committee reported
that no combination of courses
now offered fulfilled this objec
tive. The matter was referred to a
special social science committee
which was asked to consider the
problem.
5. To develop an understanding
of literature and the fine arts.
The committee asked that all new
students be given examinations in
these areas when entering the
University, and that on the basis
of these tests students be required
to schedule Art 74, English Lit
erature 25 or 26, and Music 5.
6. To develop an appreciation
of the importance of personal and
community health and the proper
place of sports and recreation in
personal and public welfare. The
committee asked that the pro
gram in the School of Physical
Education be modified to develop
better public attitudes toward
sports and recreation.
The remaining objectives in the
report were discussed in yester
day’s Daily Collegian

they have “extra-curricular”
drilling, but they also have been
active in campus social life.
The Military Ball last year ran
smoothly 'under the direction of
Pershing Riflemen. They spon
sored pledge dances and banquets
as well. The drill team also par
ticipates in the Regimental Drill
Meet, holiday parades, and honor
guards.
Plans for the Centennial include
a hayride, intramurals, a dance,
a banquet before the Military
Ball, parades, and drill competi
tions.
A distinguishing feature of the
Pershing Riflemen’s uniform is a
blue and white shoulder cord or
fourragere. Candidates may still
pledge the drill team. An added
incentive to pledge is the three
merits that the men receive
toward their Reserve Officer
Training Corp, Navy ROTC, or
Air Force ROTC grade.

secretariat. The State Party elects
class clique officers for the junior
and. senior classes in the spring.
The parties this year are oper
ating under a revised elections
code adopted by All-University
Cabinet Sept. 23. One of the ma
jor changes in the code states that
the All-University clique chair
man must be elected by the entire
clique.
Formerly the Lion Party clique
chairman was elected by the
party’s steering committee and the
State Party chairman, corres
pondingly, by a student represen
tative council.
Cabinet Charters Parties
The code also stipulates that the
cliques must submit copies of
their constitutions to All-Univer
sity Cabinet. This amounts to
chartering of political parties by
cabinet.
Previously political parties were
not officially recognized as or
ganized student groups. The new
code has brought the parties un
der closer control of cabinet.
When first presented, the chan
ges met heavy opposition. Fore
most among the opponents of the
new code were Ernest Famous,
chairman of the elections commit
tee, and Benjamin Sinclair, for
mer Lion Party clique chairman.
