Senate OK's Treaty To Return Okinawa
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate by an 84 to 6 vote Tuesday ratified the treaty ending 27 years of U.S. rule over Okhira and the Ryukyu Islands. It also strengthened the strategic Western Pacific chain captured in World War II to by mid-1972.
Before becoming effective, the treaty must also be ratified by the Japanese Diet along with accompanying legislation which would use about 160 military installations for the indefinite future.
Senate leaders hailed the lopsided vote as an augury of improved relations with Japan. The Senate's support for the United States in effect occupied territory belonging to its allies and trading partner in Asia.
Secretary of State William P. Rogers termed the Senate action "a major contribution to what we all hope will be an enduring and beneficial association between Japan and the United States."
The handful of senators opposing the agreement were mainly concerned that it placed limitations on U.S. military
operations by requiring that the United States consult with Japan on any major changes in military doctrine, nuclear weapons, changes in the deployment of troops and use of bases for direct combat operations.
Under terms of the treaty, Japan will pay the United States $20 million over a five-year period. The Japanese island base. During Senate debate, the cost of U.S. militaryokina was estimated at $21 billion.
It is agreed that Japan will take over the responsibility for the immediate defense of Okinawa and it will save an estimated $60 million.
The United States will give win-
back of 34 installations and
about 12 more facilities be-
nched next year and 12 more facilities
will be returned to Japan by mid-
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, Sen. J. W. Fulbright, D-Aark., in a rare tribute, commended Nixon and Secretary of State William P. Pompey, the governor of Okinawa treaty to the Senate in the form of a treaty instead of a simple executive order.

POWs to Be Allowed To Get Christmas Gifts
TOKYO (AP) — North Vietnam announced Thursday that American pilots held prisoners will again be allowed to receive gifts during the Christmas season but the parcel can be larger.
The School of Religion and the School of Education have joined the bandwagon, which is now gaining national momentum, to courses about religion in the public sector. The School of Religion and the School of Education have combined their efforts with the State Department of Education to provide ceramic classes who are qualified to teach religion.
A broadcast by the Vietnam news agency -VNA-said the parcels can weigh 11 pounds, the parcel is past years. It says the gifts are mailed through Moscow, emphasizing that "parcels sent in"
Public Schools Instituting Courses About Religion
any other way will not be accepted."
Meeting Spot Goes to Prof

The two schools have been working for the last year on a joint program to prepare teachers about religion. Milo Stucky, chairman of the department of school administration at the School of Education, said a course about religion from courses taught at the School of Religion. The School of Education would then instruct the teacher in the course by examining the material to the student.
Few legal opinions of any court have caused as much controversy as the misinterpreted as those handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in the early '60s concerning the establishment of public schools. Confusion has persisted since 1983 despite the court's efforts to restore its decisions. Most of the confusion stems from two cases ruled on by the court in 1962 and 1974.
Heredo Regier, associate professor of education and faculty member of the Placement Bureau, is cochairman for the annual meeting of the Association for School, College and Career in Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 4-12.
The broadcast described the gifts as "year end parcels."

nits as "year end parets." VNA also reported that an American prince would be allowed to receive letters from their families holiday ties.

A year later the court ruled in the case of *Abington vs.*мпрппрпппппппппп
The entire Friday morning program will be devoted to problems related to the teaching of the minority teacher.
In 1962, the court prohibited school-sponsored prayer in its england vs. vitale. In that year, the court indicated, "It is no part of the business of government to compose official prayers for any group of the American people to form a part of a religious program."
NONETHLESS, for almost a decade, educators and the public as a whole have functioned under the false impression that the school classroom is the only one. One administrative official at Lawrence High School, when asked about the possibility of adding a course on comparative religions, quickly told the school couldn't do that.
STUCKY SAID that the two schools were trying to clarify how much faith surrounded the proper place of religious study in the public
What most people don't seem to realize is the court did not rule against all forms of prayer and study, but rather, when those prayers and studies are part of a state law that defines the religion of justice, they are illegal.
The court was quick to differentiate between "teaching about religion" and "the teaching of religion," specifically stated that a school may sponsor the study of religion including the history of religion, comparative religions or literary works, and that the court asked What the court did prohibit was the school-sponsored practice of religion including evangelical services, bar mitzvah, prayer morning devotional exercises.
THE SUPREME COURT commented on the importance of religious study in the schools in Indiana and Missouri, Justice Tom Clark wrote, "It might well be said that one's role as a comparative religion or the history of religion and its advancement of civilization."
"We would have several people on our backs right away," he said.
Assurance that the objective study of religion is law has not caused the minds of all educators, involved themselves in involving themselves in any way with such a controversial area. Some are afraid that their efforts might be misconstrued as the creation of a particular religious faith.

To avoid possible problems, many school administrators have called for more diversity. However, the growing number of advocates for the study of religion in schools frown on this practice, arguing that it creates a partial education. Stucky said, "Hardly any teacher could be an teacher without teaching religion.
Stuckey said religion had had an effect on the music, music and science and played such an important role that tomit it would be faulty.
Alain Resnais'
Masterpiece
MANY STATES have demonstrated the courage and imagination to institute religious study in the public schools. At least 12 states now have some provisions for religious content in their public schools. For four of their Nebraska are leading the field.

The religious material is usually studied in one of two ways. It is either incorporated into an existing course, such as literature or history; or a new course that focuses on comparative religions or religious history, and the subject is studied as a separate subject. Stucky said he played the imagined study played an important role in helping the student to formulate values and develop a life style.
Many parents and leaders in the movement to secure religious instruction feel this course of study is necessary for the emptiness of today's youth. They hope studying the Bible and teaching the younger generation back. They point to the fact that schools were originally established for theological instruction, and, as the course content has gradually been sclerized the spiritual and social order of the youth has declined.
THERE ARE THOSE who warn that this view is based on false hope. The study of religion
is not the panacea for man's moral problems or development, they contend. It is very possible that the study could have the reverse effect, causing the world to be more critical of American society.
Whatever the effect might be, parents and teachers seem to agree the public school can't teach that religious faith or commitment.
