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.
