Mini- than 215 students heard [view
yoniy McCall and Dale Weidmer
uk for a halt to the "mudsllng-
jnr" In the current campaign
which ends today with voting for
fhe student-body officers.
Tbe two presidential candidates
appearing ln a Colleglan-spon-
aored debate yesterday answered
a series of questions prepared by
the student newspaper staff.
Both candidates called for an
cad to "circulating lies" In tbe
campaign and generally agreed on
lereral Issues put to them.
In   a   five   minute   summation
candidate
views.    McCall said:
"1 want to Impress on every-
Qn" 'heir responsibility toward
siudent government. We need
more participation. We need to
grow into traditions. This campus
l.i not ready for a student union.

ihe    enrollment.     Few   colleges
wlih similar enrollment put on a
program as well as we do tor our
members."
Weidmer   said,    "We've    been
talking   about   the   same   things.
Board Criticized On
New Education Bill
SAN FRANCISCO (DPI)—The
Board of Education was criticized
today for slashing the number of
education courses required ot pro¬
spective teachers in its proposed
regulations   on   teacher   requlre-
Con-Lmt-nts From Henri ng
Tho board was holding a hear¬
ing on the new regulations which
resulted   from   a legislative deci¬
sion that all future teachers must
kave at least rive years of college
training and that they must have
a major In an academic subject.
The proposed regulations would
reduce   tho   number  of  teaching
method courses from 16 to 12 for
I   elementary schools;   from   16   to
[   nine  for  secondary school,s and
'   from six to three for junior col¬
lege.
Ernest Boyer of Upland Col¬
lege, speaking for the California
Council on Teacher Education,
opposed the reduction "as a mat¬
ter of deep professional convic¬
tion."
He eald any arbitrary or indis¬
criminate reduction ln methodol¬
ogy courses would be "at least,
a risky decision and at worst an ;
Irresponsible one."
Hvo Instead Of Four
The reduction, he said. Is es- j
pec tally unnecessary in view of
the fact that teachers would bo
required to go to college for five
years Instead of four.
Tho now rules would also bar
future teachers from majoring or
minoring ln professional educa¬
tion rather than , ln traditional
academic fields. They also would
not be able to major in such ap¬
plied fields" as physical education,
homo economics and agriculture.
Other   critics   told   the   board,
headed by Thomas W. Braden,
that [lie 57-page proposed regula¬
tions wonmiuch loo restrictive in
their details and should be llber-
DoctorutC!'  Can't Tench
J. W. McDaniel, Sun IJernar-
dlno, speaking for the California
Junior College Association, sold
the proposed requirements were
so stringent that some persons
with doctorates In mathematlca
and law would not be allowed to
[each in Junior colleges. He as-
nerti-d that the rules would han¬
dicap junior colleges in getting
new teachers.
The regulalions were prepared
by a five-man committee of (he
board. Uraden said ill the open¬
ing of today's healing that he had
received .1 wire from former
Senator Hugo Fisher (D-San
Diego), author of the law re¬
quiring the regulations, which
praised the committee's finished
product.
The Blatuic wilt go Into effect
July 1 unless tho legislature ap¬
es a proposed six-month post¬
ponement.
You (Indicating the audience)
must vote Tor the man who is able
to bring various groups on cam¬
pus together.
"The hottest Issues in the
campaign,'■ ho said, "have only
come up In the last few 'days.
I want you to know certain things.
I am not a tool of Theta Chi. I
ara not a yes man to Jerry Taha¬
jian. I'm not a drunkard though
it's mentioned by some people. I
am not against tho awards system
and have never had a chance to
vote against the system. I also
urge   you   to   quit   slinging   the
Weldm
ild   It
ore students Into student
enl activities ln order to
morale and  school  spirit.
McCall said belter spirit can be
achieved by getting wider student
representation on student commit¬
ters and boards.
Concerning (lie greatest short¬
coming on the campus McCall said
11 is the centralization of student
government. Ho urged decentall-
.-..- .li and getting larger grnups
lo make decisions ami set policy.
Weidmer said It involves get¬
ting more people into government.
By gelling competition in govern¬
ment "we get quality. With qual¬
ity you get resperl and you get
pride through respect. Pride
equals spirit."

blight served as moderator and
Dr. John Duke, professor or jour¬
