Painting Operation
Begins in . Old Main
A crew from the division of
building maintenance and oper
ation began brightening up the
first, third and fourth floor corri
dors of Old Main yesterday.
The corridors, which were not
painted when the rooms of Old
Main had their last touch-up, are
being repainted the same grey,
along with the first floor lobby.

ion began painting at the end of
the fall semester, is reaching com

j basis of religion to proire its
validity, we get three answers.
First, that religious beliefs are
'derived from the beliefs of our
ancestors. Secondly, it is based on
proofs handed down from ancient
times. Last, we are forbidden to
question its authenticity.
I To this argument Dr. Freund,
commented that the true basis for'
(religious belief does not lie int
the authority of the past but in;
the immediate reality-of the pres-I
ent. This is felt through the per
sonal experience of each indi
vidual.
"Freud, a True Scientist"
Dr. Freund explained the sci
entist's idea was a result of his
not being able to see the evi
dences of religion through per
sonal experience and for that rea
son, to Freud, religion was an il
lusion.
"Freud recognized man's need
for communion with God, but he
denied the possibility of this com
munion." said Dr. Freund. In this
belief Freud acted as a true sci
entist because he refused to be
lieve something that he had not
observed himself.

Requirements Raised
For Cabinet Posts
All-University Cabinet has given first approval to a con
stitutional amendment which would require its members to
have at least a 2.4 All-University average instead of the pre ,
sent 2.0 minimum.
Cabinet defeated another proposal Thursday night which
would have required its members to take the Leadership
Training Course
The amendment on scholastic
requirements must be approved
at the next two meetings to be
come a part of the Student Gov
ernment Association constitution.
Sponsored by Howes
Lash Howes, president of the
Association of Independent Men,
who presented' the amendment,
said it would not go into effect
until next year and would have
no bearing on this spring's elec
tions. ,
Howes said the amendment's
purpose was to create a "higher
academic atmosphere, so that we
can be student leaders in the
highest sense of the word."
He said he did not believe the
higher scholarship requirement
would eliminat e many student
leaders. He cited a tendency of
active students with low averages
to over-extend themselves and
then be placed on academic pro
bation.
Present Requirements
The present requitement for
Cabinet membership is a 2.0 min
imum All-University average, ex
cept that of the All-University
president who must have at least
a 2.3.
Howes' proposal would super
cede the scholastic requirements
for the college student council
presidents, which are now regu
lated by each council's constitu
tion.
The proposal which would have
required Cabinet members to
take the Leadership Training
Course was overwhelmingly de
feated. The proposal, which had
.been discussed at previous Cabi
' net meetings, was brought up fol
lowing the presentation of a final
report on last fall's course.
Agenda Plan Defeated
In other action, Cabinet re
versed its stand of a week ago
and voted not to mail out its
agendas. The plan, which would
have cost up to $36 per year, was
designed to give each Cabinet
member a personal advance copy
of the agenda.
The members now get agendas
at the Hetzel Union desk.
Cabinet will not meet next
Thursday but will hold a special
meeting Sunday, March 17 in 121
Sparks.
