ments in favor of the program.
Jack Kendall, president of :he
Engineering-Architecture Sturient
Council, felt that a liberal arts
program is quite necessary and
has been needed for a long time.
He said he knows of many stu
dents who intend to transfer into
this program if it is offered.
Many students brought up
the problem of the extra finan
cial burden and many felt that
this would prevent them from
enrolling in the program. It
was also felt by some students
that the extra year would turn
many against the plan.

moral principles depend on re
ligion," Frankena concluded
from these arguments.
Even though public education
can't inculcate religious beliefs,
this does not mean that the pub
lic schools have to go out of busi
ness. There are important values
not dependent on religion.
"Public schools may be neutral
in regard to religion but have an
important function in relation to
inculcating the moral and good
life," Frankena concluded.
