Americanitis Says Bollinger Activity System Draws Fire of Church Leader "College students in this country are afflicted with Americanitis," asserted H. D. Bollinger, volatile Religion and Life Week leader, in conducting a seminar on Religion in College Life. "As soon as three college students get together they organize and draw up a charter. The result is that every phase of campus life is organized for rat ing and recognition." "Every student I meet lives un der the tyranny of the next thing he has to do. It certainly is an oppressive feeling. The schedule of every organized house demands that you go out for activities so the campus is constantly creat ing activities to go out for." Dr. Bollinger thinks that the point system is too much worshiped, the activities which reap points tak ing precedence over voluntary ac tivities. Religion Shut Out. The methodist education di rector thinks it quite . generally true that religion haidly touches the organized groups on a cam pus. "We have to look at it real istically. A fraternity or a sorority i3 an organized unit for residential and social purpose. Naturally it takes a lot of its members, time to carry out its purpose takes still more time to put its members high in activities. "Of course there are exceptions. I was in a fraternity house last week in which the fireplace mantel was full of the hardware that is usually handed out for athletic achievement. But also, this fiat had consistently the highest house scholastic average on the campus, and a survey revealed that all but two of its members regularly at tended church or some student foundation " Dr. Bollinger has drafted ten commandments for college stu dents: 1.

"Culture, if it is to be dynamic, vital and worthwhile," asserted Father Sulllivan, "must manifest itself in action. For a Christian, true religion is essentially super natural, coming not from the world, a race, a natio.-, a civiliza tion, or a culture, but from the di vine life. It is something strictly universal." Labor At a Commodity. "In the eyes of capitalism, labor Is stripped of personality ana De comes, not a human thing, but a commodity.
