profession may not be used as a basis for deciding whether a course or program is academically acceptable.
It has been implied that the professors indoctrinate students in the Roman Catholic faith. Quinn and Senior are Roman Catholics.
SOME MEMBERS of the assembly have said that the program created a religious atmosphere.
"When there are no objective standards by which to measure truth, but only texts to be subjectively interpreted, and the interpretations and found," he added, "and found, we indeed have the emotional experience of shared values or faith," said Frances Horwitz, professor of human development and psychology. "This is religion, and not an integrated set of principles."
Attacks accusing the program of religious indoctrination are bigoted, Quinn said.
"Academic freedom guarantees that professors can teach the truth as they see it," he said. "If philosophy professors can teach that God does not exist, I can teach
According to Father Michael Moriarty, pastor of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Lawrence, 148 KU students have converted to Catholicism since 1968 at St. John's Church and at St. Lawrence Catholic Church. There were students of Quinn, Neckel and Senior.
"The PEARSON program influenced my conversion only insofar as it created in me a desire to search for the truth," said Paul Arnold, Leavenworth sophomore who taught at Barnes and Noble. "The program. The Pearson classroom has never been a place of Catholic instruction."
"To say that these three professors have paved a road and given me a m喉 to Rome
Some professors say that PHIP should be given credit but that it should not fulfill so many requirements. The program now fulfills requirements for English 1, 2 and 3, Western Civilization, speech and humanities.
George Worth, chairman of the department of English, recommended in a letter to the EPCP that the program be allowed to create for English 3 but not for English 1 and 2.
Worth said he did not think the reading selections and writing instructions were assists.
'THE CLAIM that the program presents the best primary authors and books of the Western tradition is easy to inert a petty word.' Worth said in the letter 'Therefore, you should be careful not to imply that the "liad" rather than the "Odyssey" and so on; but rather to cast serious doubts on the dual claim that students already are relatively knowledgeable about contemporary issues and modern writers, and have the capacity to learn what can be disposed of in one semester.'
Quinn defends the reading selections in PHP by saying that classical works can be read with great modern writers may be understood without much help from teachers, he said, and "if you have read Virgil and Homer you will be better able to read Millon and Robert
Worth also said he questioned the education in writing skills that students in our district have.
Students in the program study the structure of stories in their first semester, orations and essays in their second semester, grammatical principles and their applications in their third semester and logic in their fourth semester.
ACCORDING TO QUINN, students write a minimum of about the equivalent of six weeks in school.
There is no evidence that students in PHI-P are not competent writers. Quinn say these students were sent to another university for unbased evaluation, he said, and the results showed that their abilities were comparable to other students at the same level in college.
AURH to Host State Legislators
Informal discussions between University of Kansas students and their state legislators again will be the main feature of the Association of University Residence Houses (AUHR) "Legislators Dinner." The session was first initiated at last year's function.
This year's dinner will be held at 7 tonight in the Temelin Hall cafeteria.
Eleven legislators, including Rep. Mike Glover, D-Lawrence, and Rep. Lloyd Buzzi, R-Lawrence, accepted invitations to the dinner. Each of the legislators who come will have a student host from one of the residence halls.
Take a Break on Padre Island
"In my humble opinion Padre Island has the finest beaches and Jito has the greatest Bikinis on earth."
"On the whole, the program has been characterized by a lack of openness and an unwillingness to let others evaluate its performance." Price, professor of rhetorics, said.
Some criticisms say that the program has not received proper evaluation to be allowed to substitute for freshman and sophomore requirements.
Seaver said the Pearson professors had refused to allow a proper evaluation of their research.

Quinn said he had always been in favor of an objective evaluation of the program. However, he said, the evaluation should be made by persons who are not connected with the program or with the English department.
Civilization program has been evaluated twice, the chairmanship first and presently the college investigation of all requirements." Seaver said.
THE EVALUATION should not be based on the professors' convictions, but rather on the mechanics of the program and the competence of the professors, Quinn said.
Some members of the assembly said they
were opposed to the professors' practice of interviewing prospective students for en-
gagement.
Roy Laird, professor of political science, said he thought the practice of selecting candidates to serve in Congress was

According to Quinn, a large part of the PHIP interview is intended to help the students make up their minds about the program.
"What we are looking for are students who have an honest interest in the job," he said. "We have turned down very few students who were truly interested."
"They are getting to know us first-hand as teachers in an intimate way," he said. "They can get an idea of how the course will go."
