This practice was abandoned in 1S31. Since then it has be-
Groups Plan Joint Center For Religion
The worn-out condition of buildings that presently house several campus religious groups has led to the proposal of a new religious center, University Chaplain John E. Cantelon said recently.
The center under discussion would be a two story structure housing five denominations — Episcopal. Presbyterian, Baptist, Missouri Synod Lutheran and United Lutheran Church of America.
These separate denominations in one center could promote joint ecumenical programs and inter-faith discussions, Dr. Can-telor said.
The proposed site for the center is next to the University Methodist Church on either University Avenue or 34th Street.
Plans for the center include a game room, eating facilities and possibly a roof garden.
Other denominations would be welcome to affix additional stories to the center. Dr. Cantelon said.
"All denominations recognized by the university were invited to join the center, but Newman Club, Hillel and Christian Science already have adequate housing,” he noted.
★ Holiday Thoughts
From the Editor
There is no other time of year like Christmas.
This is the season when the air tastes fresher, the buildings look brighter and the faces of our friends reflect a true enjoyment and understanding of the fellowship of human beings.
It is this enjoyment that makes Christmas time so special. Fcr it is the one time of year when the common tie of brotherhood moves uppermost into all minds, erasing the irritations and misunderstanding that darken so much of the year.
It is, you see, the one time of year when the Anglo-Saxon tradition of outward reserve and indifference gives way to the open display of a child-like wish for peace and good cheer.
The exhuberance with which modern man embraces this one time of,year when the good motions are not frowned upon is eloquent proof of the enduring spirit of goodwill that resides in our race and of the one hope we have for a future in peace.
In the extravagance of the present festival season, let us take a moment to remember those of years past who planted the fruits that we reap, those today who have yet to taste the rich, heady brew of freedom and those who in years to come will wander in fields, the serenity and bounty of which we can only imagine.
From the entire staff of the Daily Trojan, every best wish for a refreshing holiday season and an abundant and rewarding new year.

traditional classroom lecture in job training programs for American industry, Dr. A. T. Polin, director of the university's Research Institute for Business and Economics (USC-RIBE), said Friday.
Dr. Polin outlined recent advances made in this direction when he addressed members pf the California Psychological Association at the Biltmore Hotel.
“Industry today is concerned as never before with the cost
of traditional job training,” the USC business researcher declared. “Using new techniques in learning from automated, programmed materials, employees are able to learn job content more quickly and with much more meaning.
“There is the further advantage that programmed material can be assimilated at the student’s own rate and without the necessity of teaching supervision,” he explained
Dr. Polin presented the psy-
