Campus Candids will appear each week. The campus will be made up of a student's views on the issues of interest.
"Should there be compulsory religion courses on the Hill?"
Paul Dillinger
Oiga Zilboorg, fine arts freshman:
"Absolutely not. I don't think it's necessary. Religion is up to the individual."
Walter Scholtfeldt, exchange student from Germany: "No! The University is in my opinion an institution which should live up to the idea of 'universitas liberarum'. This implies for me the free choice of study without any spiritual pressure. Whoever is interested in religion courses can either take them or go to a religious institution."
Paul Dillinger, education senior; "I think compulsory religion courses are necessary. Entitley too many people don't know what their religion is based on or what other religions are based on. They need a broadened concept of what religion is—religion as religion."
Vicki Rosenwald, college junior: "I don't believe in compulsory religion courses. Religion is a personal matter and should be dealt with on an individual basis."
Dick Mohler, college sophomore: "I don't feel that religion should be pushed on anyone. If one has a deep religious feeling, that's fine; but if he doesn't, he may feel antagonistic toward it."
John Gagliardo, college junior: "In a state school, religion shouldn't be forced upon anyone. This is not to take away from the basic value of such a course, but there is a difference between state and private schools."
Bob Malone, first year law student: "Definitely. I believe college students have a tendency to get away from religion and this would bring them back to it."
Jack Witmer, pharmacy senior:
"That should be left up to the discretion of the individual, although the plan is good and wouldn't hurt him."

Committeeman Predicts Beef Rise
Washington —(U.P.)—The chairman of a house agriculture subcommittee advised consumers today to "stock up now" on American beef because "it's not going to get any cheaper."
The bad news for meat-eaters came from Rep. William S. Hill (R-Colo.) who also predicted that bargain beef would be gone from U.S. meat markets.
The subcommittee called a closed-door meeting (at 9 a.m. CST) to look into a recent sharp drop in beef prices that cattlemen have blamed partly on imports of frozen New Zealand beef.
Rep. Hill noted that cattle prices have already "leveled off" and indicated his subcommittee will examine "suggestions" for upping prices further.
"The fellows who shipped that frozen New Zealand beef are taking a real beating on prices," he told a reporter. "We don't expect any more of it to be shipped in."
Other congressional developments:
Appropriations—House Republicans lopped $1,388,500,000 from the first appropriation bill to come up in the new Congress. Except for one item, the House went along with the Appropriations committee yesterday in trimming 60 per cent from a supplemental money bill, which it then passed 369-2. The biggest whack hit the defense department.
Applications Offered For Foreign Study

To be eligible for the scholarship, the student must have a bachelor's degree from an American college or university, and have shown academic ability for independent study.

Byrd—President Eisenhower has personally thanked Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-VA) for starting the Senate resolution to federalize the federal defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson.
Voice—Senate investigating committee members contacted several leading educators to check on testimony that they advised the Voice of America to choose books on their
merits regardless of whether the authors are Communists.
Taxes—The Republican drive to cut taxes and defense spending collided with grim news that increasing Russian military strength will make any economies extremely difficult.
Butter—Rep. Edna F. Kelly (D-N.Y.) urged a lower support price for butter so that "consumers will eat it instead of having it accumulate in government warehouses."
Nominations—The Senate Armed Services committee approved the nomination of Allan Dulles, brother of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, to be director of the central intelligence agency.
