Luckless team
finds new way
to lose at pool
United Press International
LACKAWANNA, N Y. — The
Lackawanna High School swimming
team hasn’t won a meet in five years
and they seem to have found a new
, way to lose.
Tuesday the team sat around its
(school pool waiting for the team
from nearby Amherst High to show
| up for their scheduled meet.
Amherst never did show up. But
then, why should they have, since
the match was scheduled for their
own pool?
Forfeit to Amherst.

Religion courses debated
(Continued from page 1.)
extension courses have been offered to
Texas A&M students since last fall.
Hall said he knew of two students from
the College of Liberal Arts who wanted to
take his courses for credit but were told by
the dean they could not.
Administrators from five of Texas
A&M’s colleges had differing opinions on
whether credit should be given for the
courses.
Dr. Richard Thomas, dean of the Col
lege of Engineering, said, “If the student
would gain intellectually as much off-
campus with a course as he would on then
we allow him to take the course.” He said
that for a humanities or social science elec
tive the Bible courses would be all right.
Dr. Dwayne Suter, associate dean of the
College of Agriculture, said that if a stu
dent in agriculture wants to take an off-
campus course of this nature, the dean and
adviser consider how it will fit into the
student’s degree plan and career objec
tives, and how the student will use the
course.
He said students in the past have
graduated in the College of Agriculture
with credit hours in Bible courses on their
degree plans.
“The rules and regulations pertaining to
the approval by the student adviser and
dean is not intended to be a hindrance to
academic freedom and responsibility,”
Suter said. “Rather, the procedures are to
encourage the student to make course
selections after careful counsel to insure
that courses selected are those to enable
achievement of career objectives.
“All of our students in agriculture need
to take courses in the hunanities and social
sciences. They will add a very important
dimension to their professional educa
tion,” Suter added.
Dr. Diane Strommer, associate dean of
the College of Liberal Arts, said, “We do
not allow simultaneous enrollment in our
college. We don’t feel that there should be
a student enrolled at two institutions at the
same time.”
She explained that would hinder stu
dents from doing a good job at Texas
A&M.
The associate dean of the College of Sci
ence, John Beckham, said, “I have had
very few requests to take concurrent
courses.”
“We have (given students permission)in
the past” to take off-campus Bible courses,
he added.
Because of the heavy course loads in the
College of Science, Beckham explained
that students are not encouraged to tike
concurrent courses somewhere else.
He said he could remember two stu
dents this spring he gave permission to
take off-campus Bible courses, and said
these courses would be recorded as gen
eral electives.
Dr. Bill Lay, director of admissions,
said if students are going to enroll concur
rently at another institution while enrolled
at Texas A&M, and take the course or
courses for transfer credit, they must have
prior approval from the dean of their col
lege.
Lay explained that the hours on the
permanent record or transcript do not
necessarily apply toward graduation or the
student’s specific* degree plan.
