University Daily Kansan Tuesday. March 25,1958
He Will Be Remembered
The guiding hand of The Daily Kansan has been stilled. Our "Mr. T" has passed on to greater things.
The students he left behind will remember him in many ways. They will remember his biting criticism of a sloppy, inefficient piece of copy. They will remember his equally enthusiastic praise for a job well done. And above all his students will remember that "Mr. T's" one goal was to make good journalists from the young men and women given to his guidance.
The Daily Kansan will still be published five
days a week, but that little extra something that "Mr. T" provided will be missing. The professional judgment he provided when the students were in doubt will be sadly lacking, and The Daily Kansan will suffer for it.
The staff of The Daily Kansan will miss "Mr. T." But they will remember the journalistic lessons he tried so hard to teach them, and they will try their best to do a job that will deserve his words, "Well done."

Revival On The Campus
A heartening and exciting revival in religious faith on the American college campus is reported in the current (March 29) issue of The Saturday Evening Post.
The report is made by the Rev. Jones B. Shannon, former chaplain to Episcopal students at Pennsylvania State University and now executive director of the Church Society of College Work, an assignment which keeps him in touch with many schools around the country.
Mr. Shannon's article, "Religious Revolution on the Campus," tells that the upswing has been an evolutionary process which began during World War II and that state universities as well as private colleges have become increasingly aware that a knowledge of religion is a necessary part of a balanced education.
The resurgence is found to have occurred amid less emphasis upon the social aspects of church attendance than heretofore and student demand for a more mature approach in religious matters is said to have called for a new type of college chaplain or pastor.
The Shannon article pinpoints developments at a number of colleges, including Johns Hopkins
University, the University of Texas, the University of North Carolina, Cornell University, Montana State University, Columbia University and the University of Iowa.
A Purdue University official reports, for instance, that student religious groups are more active than at any time in his nearly forty years there. A Midwestern university chaplain increased the number of Sunday services from two to six and still had standees.
At the student level, one Ivy Leaguer told Shannon that it is now a "done thing" to take a date to church on Sunday. A coed related that it was the simple witness of faculty members which led her to a mature acceptance of God.
Mr. Shannon tells that all the major churches now sponsor student organizations or "foundations" which meet for worship, study and recreation and he says that a phenomenon of recent years on many campuses is Religious Emphasis Week—a week set aside for speakers of all faiths to give lectures and lead discussion meetings.
In the conclusion of his article, Mr. Shannon says, "the day is past when our schools can be called Godless institutions."
Letters To The Editor
Why?
In reply to Carol Stilwell's editorial "Stop Evaluating Teachers," (Daily Kansan, March 20) probably the first question that comes to mind is "Why?" It seems to be a fact on this bill that the grade, as well as the knowledge a person gets out of a course, depends to a large extent on the teacher he gets.
While this is true in many of the liberal arts courses, it seems to be especially true in the physical science courses. Physics and chemistry labs are taught by graduate students, and while some people are lucky enough to get a good lab instructor, others are not so lucky, and they suffer as a result.
If the University is a place to get an education, it would seem
that something should be done to make tests, methods of presentation, and other facets of the course as near equal as possible.
It would seem that the University would take note of these inequalities and try to do something about them. Probably a conference with the instructors by the department heads would help to make the student more interested in the course he is thinking about signing up for, rather than what teacher he is going to get.

Exhilarated
Editor:
Mr. Arthur Harkins' letter to The Daily Kansan about l'affaire Husar (March 20) was a breath of fresh air that exhilarated me and, I trust,
all those who have involved themselves in that simmering debate. It also set a new literary standard for them to shoot at.
I commend The Daily Kansan for publishing the letter, just as I congratulate Mr. Harkins on writing it. I haven't read anything all semester better; than his last sentence; I wish I could have written it.

Criticism
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
By Dick Bibler
In writing this note I'm not sure whether I'm criticizing Mrs. Carol Stilwell's judgment or her spelling. I do know that in referring to what I hope she thought was a completely fictitious member of the faculty, she made a remark about one of my colleagues which I for one resent, regardless of how the teacher herself feels about it.
"WATCH YOUR TALK — THAT'S ONE PSYC MAJOR WHO STOPS TO ANALYZE ANYTHING YOU SAY."
I hope Mrs. Stillwell has taken proper steps to make things right as they can be made. I'd hate to think she needed lessons in that, too.
