Students are many times left with the impression that we've figured man out entirely. It just isn't so. But such a large number of instructors are so orientated to secular perspective that gardens, and open construc- \ '^ey cant admit anj other di-are features that evolved | mension exists.
Religion has a definitely beneficial role in education, said Robb. "It gives a frame of reference, depth, and a perpendicular aspect to learning.
"There seems to be a tendency to write off the medieval period as the dark ages and let it go at that. But that's too much of an oversimplification. It's questionable whether or not the scientific method would have evolved so soon without a monotheistic understanding of the universe," he said.
I "It took the concept of an orderly world to lay the foundation tor the method. And just I a.s religion gave a sense of direc-| tion toward ultimate meaning i then, it does the same now."
Robb criticized the classroom ! emphasis on denotative teaching, j Too much of the learning pro-I cess comes from dull description. There should be more use of myth and symbol to help put ideas across.
Religious faith helps in this aspect to get a broader perspective, Robb said.
Religion by definition admits dependence on God. rl herefore it leads to a sense of humility in search of truth. It's impossible to teach an arrogant man, and

Cheating Discussed By AMS
By Maxine Karpman
I The first men's group to offi-| ciallv discuss student cheating, the Associated Men Students Cabinet, has considered and temporarily shelved the problem.
At a meeting Friday, the AMS Cabinet requested Its member organizations to discuss the question of cheating and report back in two to four weeks.
"The Cabinet did not feel that it was in the proper position to make suggestions or formulate plans to prevent cheating," said AMS President Bob Gerst.
Problems Discussed The discussion of the problems of Integrity was proceeded by a series of events, dating from the Feh. 6 ouster of two men who were caught while attempting to steal final examinations.
Last week Dean of Students Bernard L. Hvink commended the student body for its "initiative and interest in attempting to improve the academic environment.”
Dean H.vink's comments were ln response to a series of activities dealing with the cheating problem. On Feb. 13, MorW Board published an open letter to the administration commending them for action against students ousted for cheating.
AWS Meeting Held The Associated Women Students Cabinet held an open meeting last week in an attempt to seek a positive study of integrity.
Amazons, upper division women's honorary, published an open letter to the faculty suggesting ways to avoid future repetitions of cheating.
Dean Hyink invited student groups, who have suggestions on alleviating cheating, to present their recommendations to the joint faeulty-student Investigating committee.
Problem Considered Gerst explained that the Cabinet considered the problem because the AMS Constitution states that the purpose of the group is lo discuss problems that pertain to the campus and the male students.
Final Report The Cabinet members felt that each group should discuss the problem on its own initiative and receive suggestions of their members. When the reports are presented, Ihe Cabinet members will assimilate them into a final report to Ihe investigating committee and Ihe student body.
Two amendments to the AMS Constitution were unanimously approved by the Cabinet. The amendments provide for Ihe inclusion of the Men's Judicial Council in Ihe AMS Constitution and Ihe creation of associated cabinet positions.

Famed Author Speaks Today in Founders
Friday Last Day To Return Proofs
Friday has lieen set as the dealine for fraternities to return Iheir El Rodeo picture proofs, it was announced today by the university photographic department.
"Approximately 600 of the 900 graduating seniors have faced Ihe photographers lens during the past six weeks,” according to Jack Towers, department head.
Seniors who have not yet lieen photographed are reminded that the deadline is drawing near and lhal they may make appointments for sittings anytime during tiut w«ek.
Dr. Russell Kirk, famous author and scholar, will illustrate the true relationship between academic freedom and the conservative principle when he speaks on The Collegian and Conservatism" today at 3 p.m. in Founders Hall 129.
Dr. Kirk’s lecture is the first in a series sponsored by the Forum Commit toe. Future lectures tentatively include such internationally reknowned figures as Margaret Meade, anthropologist: Ralph Bunche, American Negro winner of Ihe Nobel Peace Prize; and William L. Shirer, noted author and foreign correspondent.
To Illustrate "Academic freedom is a natural right that carries with it certain duties, inside and outside Ihe university," says Dr. Kirk. "I will try to Illustrate these duties and answer the question of how two intellectual powers moi al worth and duty—can be joined."
In answering this question, Dr. Kirk will use a comparison the beliefs of two educational critics. Robert M. Hutchins, president of the Fund for Ihe Republic, and T. S. Eliot, famous English poet.
According to Dr. Kirk, Hutchins feels Ihe function of a university is lo train the Intellect of the student with no responsibility for his ethical principles.
Eliot, he says, does not distinguish the qualities of moral worth from intellectual power. Eliot feels the teacher has the right lo expect ethical quality as well as sheer intellectualism.
Recognized Authority Dr. Kirk is recognized as the US's outstanding authority on the political philosophy of conservatism
"Conservatism is th# belief thal we weren't horn yesterday, lhat certain enduring moral and social principles must he respected in every age or else we must pay a penalty of social degradation," he says.
The greatest examples of this oonseivativ* belief, b« says, <ue
the politicians of America, "who use not a vocabulary of conservatism but of new-fangled liberalism."
Governor Frank Lausche of Ohio and Sen. William Knowland of California are good examples of this political conseer-vatism, according lo Dr. Kirk.
Referring to Ihe extreme conservatives of America, the noted doctor says they are nol really conservatives but Manchesterians, who are advocates of England’s Manchester School of Economists.
Schools of Thought
The Manchester School feels lhat man’s and society’s problems are economic, and lhal “we can have enlightened intellects only if all men are free with no rectrictions placed upon them,” he says.
Dr. Kirk’s conservative philosophy is explained in his latest book, "A Program for Conservatives." His most famous book, "The Conservative Mind," which has undergone four American and several foreign printings, deals with Ihe history of thought. “Academic Freedom” is another of his famous works.
"Beyond Ihe Dreams of Avarice” and “The American Conservative Character" will he published this year by Ihe doctor.

Dr. Lindquist Denys Manners, Learning As Faith Substitutes
The podium of Bovard auditorium was turned into a pulpit yesterday when a Presbyterian minister declared that money, manners, learning, or personal magnetism will not substitute for religion.
"The stars of God will shine for you only lf you embrace love and companionship," lhe Rev. Dr. Raymond I. Lindquist, pastor of Ihe First Pres-bj terian Church of Hollywood, told his audience.
"Put character above circumstances. Once you grasp lhat thought, nothing will terrify you.
Cause Above Conflict
"Put your cause above the conflict. By doing this, you will find someone greater than you,
"Make companionship with,all something that's true and good and beautiful. You will be able to go forward with others," he said.
Dr. Lindquist, who logged over 100,000 air miles last year preaching and praying with people all over the country, spoke al the convocation of Religious Emphasis Week on "Religion and You.”
Talk Headline* RK.W
His talk headlined 25 other events to be celebrated this week at Troy In honor of the Protestant, Jewish, Catholic, and other recognized faiths of the world.
The Hollywood minister, sometimes speaking gently but at other times with evangelistic fervor, said that by embracing God, we will "manage the terrors of life.”
"I once met a young man who was about to be operated on. He was very nervous and panicky.
While he was being wheeled to the operating room, he saw a young woman who also seemed nervous and taut. They asked each other why they were scared.
"The young man said it was
because it was his first operation. The young woman was terrified because it was her husband's — the surgeon’s — first operation, ’ Dr. Lindquist jokingly told his listeners.
Money No ubstltute
Turning to the serious side,
Dr. Lindquist continued with his objections to money as a substitute for the bible.
"Money might keep gas in Ihe car, clothes on our backs, but it won’t make you any happier.
By the end of the day, Park Avenue folk are just as weary as Sixth Avenue folk."
He noted that others try to substitute manners for God,
Lord Chesterfield, he said, thought that manners would be

the key to happiness.
“But that man was haunted with fear, and died of heartache and devastating emptiness,” he said.
Nothing will take the place of religion. It's not enough to know —something else must be in the heart," he said.
The Hollywood preacher said, “Just look at all the Ph.D's behind prison bars.”
"There is no substitute for religion. You will only discover God when you have the mercy of God in your heart,” he concluded.
