Valuable field experience and a
definite broadening of perspective
is obtained from these summer as
signments, said Robert B. Rhodes,
range and forestry department.
The student has an opportunity
to “learn by doing” under the
supervision of experienced techni
cally trained supervisors, he said.
The supervisors, in turn, have
an opportunity to observe the stu
dent and recommend him for pos
sible permanent employment after
graduation, said Rhodes.
Examinations Here to Stay,
Get Underway This Monday
ficers who are authorized to do so
will carry sabers.
Procedure for the traditional
“second time around” will consist
of units turning left after leaving
the drill field the first time, then
continuing north on Houston St.
until they get to the bugle stand.
Just south of the bugle stand,
the ti’oops will turn left onto the
drill field and will proceed to their
original place in line where the
units will execute parade rest.
Dismiss Units
After units are on line again,
wing and regimental commanders
will dismiss them for approxi
mately 15 minutes. The interval
will allow present freshmen,
sophomores and juniors to change
into sophomore, junior and senior
uniforms, respectively.
Following ‘Assembly,’ cadets
will re-form into units. .
Seniors will form two parallel
lines facing each other in front of
the reviewing stand during the 15-
minute break. They will take the
salutes of the units as they pass by
under the command of the senior
non-commissioned officers.
Some Korean
Vets Fxempt
Matriculation
Korean veterans who have
used up G. I. benefits now
may apply for exemption of
the matriculation fee under
the Hazelwood Act.
This can best be explained by
an example. A man enters the serv
ice on or before the Korean war.
Under the G. I. Bill, he is entitled
to receive educational benefits for
the length of time spent in the
service.
If he spends 24 months in the
service, he is entitled to only 24
months of educational benefits.
These benefits include student
activities fee, matriculation fee,
and medical service fee.
If his 24 months of educational
benefits expire before he grad
uates, he may apply for an exten
sion of benefits under the Hazel
wood Act.
In the case of A&M students,
the only benefits covered in the
Hazelwood Act is exemption from
the matriculation fee.
To apply for a matriculation fee
exemption, the student must pre
sent to the registi’ar a form from
the school’s veterans advisor say
ing his G. I. Bill benefits have ex
pired and he is now eligible for
exemption from the mati'iculation
fee.

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 21—UP)—A prominent educa- ♦
tor, smarting from religious criticism, told some 2,500 dele
gates at the annual convention of the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers last night that public schools are not
“Godless” because they refuse to teach a definite religious
creed.
William G. Carr, executive secretary of the National
Education Association (NEA) from Washington, D. C., said
those who want public schools to teach religion “assume that
their own private system of religious belief is the one essen
tial prerequisite to moral and ethical behavior.”
He added the critics ignore the constitutional guarantee
of freedom of religion. ■'
Carr spoke at the closing session
of a three-day convention, which
drew delegates from all 48 states,
Hawaii and the District of Colum
bia. He added:
“The current attacks on educa
tion, whether well founded or
merely malicious, supply a furth
er reason for both parents and
teachers to clarify once more the
distinction between teaching a re
ligious creed and teaching the mor
al and spiritual values which are
basic to all creeds.”
Carr said the nation’s public
schools, in their legal framework,
must advocate no religious creed.
He said, however, “the public
is also obligated to teach about
religion as a valued part of our
American heritage. It should
make clear the important part
which religious faiths have played.
... in giving direction and vital
ity to our American way of life.”
Carr warned that while instruc
tors should not teach any particu
lar creed, they must not teach
against creed “or against religion
in general.”
The educator said the impact of
war, the growing amount of lei
sure time, the changing patterns
of home life, and the incidence of
juvenile delinquency all croy of
the need for improvement in moral
and spiritual teaching in our
schools.
