CPA Courses
To Be Taught
At University
AUSTIN, Sepi. 24—Combining
advanced courses in business ad-
ministration with training for
CPA. examinations will be the
object of a new program to be
started in the University of Tex-
as College of Business Admini-
tration, Dr. G. H. Newlove, pro-
fessor of accounting, said today.
“This program is not new,” Dr.
Newlove said, “for it was offered
several years before the war. It
was dropped during the war be-
cause cf lack of graduate stu-
dents, and now we expect to revive
it when a sufficient number of
graduates return from military
service.”
Especially to aid the G. I.’s, the
program will incude courses for a
master of business administration
degree while Students are study-
ing to take examinations as Cer-
tified Public ccountants.
The pre-war program for the
master of business administration
degree was offered so that students
could complete four courses by
Christmas, spend two and a half
months as junior accountants, com-
plete three courses from mid-
March to June 1, and secure their
degrees at the end of the summer
session.
‘‘'Because the only weakness in
the entire .program was the writ-
ing of a thesis during the summer
months, Plan II for the degree
has been changed,” Dr. Newlove
stated. “Men,, who take, the pro-
gram in the future may take
I additional' advanced accounting
courses in lieu of certain courses,
2nd a course with a research re-
[ port in lieu of the thesis.
“We think this program will be
about perfect for the G.L’s who
want to secure an M.B.A. degree
while preparing for the CPA ex-
aminations.

Shintoism Comes
Under Scrutiny
Of U. S. Army
TOKYO, Oct. 1—4 —Shintoism,
integrally connected with Japanese
worship of the emperor, today
came under the stern scrutiny of
the army of occupation, seeking to
prevent any misuse by the govern-
ment.
Col. Ken- R. Dyke, New York,
director of General MacArthur’s
civil information and education
section, will conduct the investi-
gation.
He said talks with Japanese
show clearly that Sintoism was
used heavily during the war when
new emphasis was put on the
government’s desire that every
family have a Shinto shrine in its
home.
Even Ghristian schools were
forced to install shrines with re-
sultant bitter protests. Dyke
asserted.
“We aren’t trying to interfere
with anyone’s religion but, we are
going to be certain it isn’t used
as a tool for militarists,” said
Dyke. “The government has pour-
ed a lot of money into Shinto dur-
ing the war and largely has been
the support of its priests.”
Dyke also said the educational
setup Of Japan is being investigated
thoroughly with the cooperation
of the Japanese education minis-
ter.
“We want to know just how the
history of Japan is being taught,”
Dyke asserted. “It’s all tied up in
the sun goddess and the Deity of
the God Emperor. I don’t say we
are going to eliminate all this but
we are going to get liberal minded
Japanese to help us trace just
what it builds up in the minds of
the nation. Let’s say we desire to
get the history on a more factual
basis,”
