The teaching of religion in Kansas educates students in consultation session for 50 Kansas educators and church executives Saturday at the Kansas State Fair.
The consultation was sponsored by the Kansas Council of Churches with keynote speakers Dr. Scott Hale, consultant of the Religious Instruction Association; Lynn Taylor, dean of the Kansas School of Religion, and Dale Scannell, dean of the School of
Panoch said the session was concerned with what was "legal, proper and significant" in regarding about religion in the schools.
The session was divided into two sections. The first discussed the legal implications of teaching about religion in the public and the second discussed "What Happen in Kansas and How?"
The Supreme Court has not rung against prayer and Bible reading in all forms in the public domain. The same forms are part of a state-
sponsored practice of religion. Panoch said.
"Any student is free to pray or read his Bible on his own initiative," he said.
Francon said the difference between the, the study, and the public school was that a public school is dedicated of what a public school might and might not do with students.
"The school may study what is practiced—but not practice what is studies, Taylor said. "The school should devotional exercise, but the Supreme Court indicated the school ought to sponsor such activities as a course in the history of religion or a course of the Bible."
"The Supreme Court didn't remove religion from the public schools. We removed it. The unanswered question is why we unaware—we had a hand in gradually withdrawing mention of religion from public education."

Within the last two years Congress has passed more than 50 bills in an effort to upgrade the image of the Armed Forces.
In the new Army, recruiters are emphasizing the diverse fields open to the prospective enlistee.
"A career in the Army is not for everyone," Sgt. I.C Fred Hill, a Lawrence recruiter, said recently in an interview. "You're willing to put it on the opportunity is there if a man really wants it."
Although Hill admits that "the green machine" still plays an important role in the organization is changing its facilities, programs, and training.
A RECENT improvement in living conditions is one big asset, Hill said. Men no longer live in 20-man barracks, Rather, the barracks have been partitioned into rooms to accommodate three to four men. These semiprimate rooms can be decorated in any way.
More than 400 job openings ranging from electronics to wire maintenance are offered with training in each field, Hill said. "We have a lot of people with the scores of mental and physical tests, and a counseling
session with a recruiter, which area would be best for him.
"Five years ago this was not done." Hill said, "The Army now considers individual desires. We now listen what people want."
BASIC PAY has risen 125 percent in the last 13 months, Hall said. Therefore, a single private month, which includes room, board and medical care. If a man is married and a woman is married or a man married he receives the base pay of $288 a month plus $105 a month to cover living expenses. He doesn't live in army quarters, he receives an additional $14.80 a month in rations pay. Admission also brings more money.
Another benefit of the new Army is an opportunity for a 30-day vacation. This can be taken in person or by being broken up into segments. Hill said.
THE ARMY also offers education. Through various plans, Hill said, men can continue their studies and learn from their after-enrollment periods. If a man decides to have the army finance his education before he serves, the man must commit to the school's curriculum and the completion of his education.
If a man wants to take a college-credit course, he can do
so with the Army's permission.
He can take the course, either at the base or at a college, and the Army will pay up to 75 per cent of the cost. If the Army thinks the course is beneficial to the man's position in the Army, Hill said, "The Army will pay the total cost."
THE SAME opportunities also are available to women, Hill said. Jobs and positions in the Army involve a positive basis except combat posts.
Residence halls were almost
much smaller than the 89.1
WSU_38 of 388 room spaces are
occupied. At K-State, 99.1 per
percent of the residence hall walls
are occupied.
With all the opportunities, the Army has to offer, Hill said, it "looked like we had to drop requirements to get volunteers."
"The vacancies we do have are by our own choice," Thomas J.
These figures are expected to change slightly because a few days remain for students to enroll.

KU has 20,112 enrolled, compared with 20,043 last year. KST enrolled approximately 15,100 students, compared with 15,100 last year, and WSU enrolled 13,130, compared with 13,034.
Frith, director of residence halls and programs at K.Sate, said. Eighty-four per cent of the residence hall space are filled at KU.
Figures showing the increases were obtained from preliminary reports from registrats' offices of each school.
Three Kansas Schools Have Enrollment Rises
Three state-supported schools, the University of Arkansas, Kansas State University, and the State University, have shown slight increases in enrollment.
Resident hall costs rose slightly in KU this year because of rising costs. The university's security at several of the buildings increased from $49,000 in $1990 a year range from $89,000 in $1990 a year range.

Although residence hall fees stayed the same at K-State, there were increases at KU and WSU. Residence hall fees at WSU are $80 per year this year, up $20 from the previous year due to the installation of a CENTREX telephone system in the residence halls at WSU.
Final enrollment figures for all public and private colleges and universities in Kansas are being compiled by George Baxter Smith, vice chancellor for will be presented to the Kansas Board of Regents later this month.
