Religion is "in" with Caro
lina students these days.
Preaching and indoctrination
in the classroom are "out."
In keeping with a national
trend among large state uni
versities, Chapel Hill students
are enrolling in religion cours
es in record numbers. Around
1,000 have signed up for this
fall. Student demand has led
to a doubling of the religion
faculty in the past five years.
Ironically, the wave of inter
est in the study of religion is
centered on campuses of the
bigger state institutions, so
often singled out as seats of
"radicalism" and "astheism."
Berkley reports that one of
the most popular courses on its
campus is "The English Bi
ble as Literature." At Chap
el Hill, a course on "The Ori
gin and Significance of t h e
Bible" attracts 200 students
each semester.
The New York Times par
tially attributes this upsurge
of interest in religion to a Su
preme Court ruling that the
Bible is worthy of objective
study for its literary and his
toric qualities, plus the fact
that faculty members no long
er fear or feel superior to the
teaching of religion.
Religion Department Chair
man Samuel S. Hill Jr. says
Chapel Hill students are in
terested in a scholarly and
comparative study of religion.
They seem eager to delve into
the probings of such theologi
cal scholars as Tillich and the
Niebuhrs.
"They will not tolerate
preaching in the classroom,"
says Dr. Hill. "Like the poli
tical campus rebels, students
who turn to religious study
demand that such teaching
take place in a setting of
academic freedom. They re
ject indoctrinaton and insist
on a no - holds - barred at
mosphere." University students, Dr. Hill
adds, want their professors to
explore questions with them
and point out alternative pos
sibilities. "They don't want to
be dogmatized. The minute a
professor begins to focus on
one approach, the brighter stu
dents reject it." '
Dr. Hill has some definite
ideas as to why students are
being drawn to religion cours
es! ' '
"They are seeking a chance
to grapple with the great ques
tions concerning man and rea
lity. Many of them sense there
must be something better to
religion than what they!ve
been taught. In search of a
new approach to religion, they
trines in' terms of contempor-
ary life with -spurring student
interest. Jn religion.
Moral issues such as Viet -Nam
and civil rights, coupled
with a- sense of meaningless
and anxiety in life, also are
sending students to religion
classes in a search for iden
tity and for answers to what
it means to be alive.
' "Students feel they ought to
be. responsible members of so
ciety," Dr. Hill said. "They,
believe that somehow the
study of religion will shed
light' on what it means to be
responsible."
As to how religion should
be taught, Dr. Hill maintains
that neither a church college
nor a state institution "has
any business indoctrinating
students." Yet, since religious
questions deal with personal
human existence, "inevitably
want to compare their tram- you ask and deal with aues-
ing and views with those of tions which cannot be treat-
students from other areas and
other faiths."
Dr. Hill credits both the
"God Is Dead" movement and
the Second Vatican Council re
vision of Roman Catholic doc-
ed from a purely detached
viewpoint."
Most religion courses, he be
lieves, can properly be adap
ted to a dialogue format, with
views of theologians, profes-

'You arrive at no over -all

derive for himself."
The Religion Department at
Chapel Hill was founded in
1947, with one faculty mem
ber. For 12 years, it was a
two - professor operaton.
In recent years, it has expan
ded from a three - course de
partment with a dozen stu
dents to a 27 - course pro
gram with enrollments near
1,000. Religion majors have
increased from six annually to
an average of 25.
- The Board of Trustees has
just, approved two new pro
fessors for the present four
man department. A Jewish
scholar specializing in back
ground of the Old Testament
will join the faculty in Sep
tember. Next year, a spec
ialist in the psychology of reli
gion will be added.
These two win join authori
ties on Biblical literature,
American religion, history of
religion, and art and religion.
Dr. Hill says the possibility
of a PhD. program in religion
is being studied. He detects a
, "new respect" among univer
sity educators in all higher
learning institutions for the
"critical and analytical" stu
dy of religion.
Total enrollment in the Uni
versity School of Pharmacy
will show a substantial net
increase this falL
And, interestingly, female
pharmacists-to-ba will make
up slightly more than one
third of th-2 student body.
Dr. M. A. Chambers, assis
tant dean of the pharmacy
school, said that final regis
tration figures will change
slightly "but the enrollment
picture will still look good."
He noted that the size of the
classes is increasing so that a
large number of graduates
can be expected in the coming
years.
Total enrollment in the phar
macy school's four years of
study will be in the neighbor
hood of 349 students, up by
about 40 over last year and a
dramatic increase of 70 over
1864 and 110 over 1SS3.
