Reverend Speaks Out
Students Prefer Practical Religion
'College students are more
inclined to respond to a church
which presents a relevant
gospel," according to Dr.
Clarence Forsberg, pastor of
St. Paul Methodist Church.
"They are looking for
preaching that is intellectual
ly respectable and morally
pertinent," he said to the
charge that college students
tend to drift away from the
church.
Dr. Forsberg said much
preaching is not relevant to
our day and "the day of the
Sunday orator is over. A

Concerning t h e church's
responsibility to the student,
Dr. Forsberg said that the
student is not different from
the ordinary person in this
respect.
"He is not exempt from nor
mal responsibilities," Fors
berg said of the student. "He
is not living in a vacuum in
his college world.'
"The church does, of
course, have the responsibili
ty of constantly confronting
him with the moral and ethi
cal ideals," Forsberg said.
"He should be reminded of
his social responsibilities."
"The minister himself," he
said, "has the responsibility
of being absolutely honest
with the student when he ex
presses his doubts."
"It is the duty of the minis
ter, to support the student,
encourage him, and respect
him in time of doubt by not
trying to overpower him with
personal feelings."
"The claim that students
are leaving the church is not
generally true," according to
Any student may submit his
work to the magazine. It pub
lishes poems (preferably lyr
ic), short stories and essays.
Shari Colton, editor of this
semester's Scrip, encourages
students to submit their work
as they have the possibility
of receiving a cash reward
for it. If a story or poem is
judged to be outstanding, the
author will receive a c a s h
prize.

Dr. Forsberg. "The student
trend merely reflects the
trends of the general popula
tion." Dr. Forsberg said the
church for the general popu
lation is not as dominant a
factor in our society as it was
before the coming of modern
transportation and communi
cation. He said the church used to
be the center of the commu
nity socially, politically, and
even economically.
"The church doesn't have
as loud a voice today," he
said.
Forsberg said there is no
trend as far as the collapse
of the church. "It has to com
pete with many other insti
tutions which lay claim to
people's time."
"In many churches today
he said "there are not only
two services on Sunday, but
many church activities
throughout the week which
demand people's time."
"In reality," said Dr. Fors
berg, "there are more people
attending churches today, but
the total affiliation figures
are down."
mitting work to Scrip should
leave his name at the De
partment of English.
The Prairie Schooner, a na
tional magazine published by
the University, also uses stu
dent works occasionally.
The English Department en
courages student authors by
sponsoring several literary
contests each year. It gives
prizes in poetry competition
and in creative and critical
writing.
These contests arc held at
different times throughout the
year and students are urged
to watch for announcement of
them.
The School of Journalism
sponsors no open competition
in writing, but does publish
student works in some of the
journalism classes, which
are not restricted to journal
ism majors.
Students interested in news
paper writing and work are
eligible to work on the Daily
Nebraskan, the Unviersity
newspaper.
The paper is published four
times weekly and all work on
it is done by undergraduate
students. Most positions on
the paper are salaried and
these too are open to non
journalism majors. They are
filled by Interviews held pre
ceding the beginning of each
semester.
If interested in gaining first
hand newspaper experience
as a newspaperman a student
may contact the Daily Ne
braskan office in the Student
Union.
Journalism experience is al
so available by working on
the Cornhusker, the Univer
sity yearbook.
Work on the Cornhusker
goes on all year and is done
by undergraduates. Paid posi
tions are also available on
this publication and, again,
are not restricted to journal
ism majors.
Anyone interested in work
ing on the Cornhusker is
urged to come to the office
in the Student Union.

Beware Of Mice
Seeking Shelter
Almost any home can be
the target of mice now try
ing to enter homes for the
fall and winter months, ac
cording to Robert Roselle,
University extension ento
mologist. Control of mice in homes
is limited to trapping in most
cases, he said. The use of
poisoned baits should be re
stricted to out-of-doors.
Mice poisoned in the home
may result in a lingering un
pleasant odor, as they are
generally hard to find after
they die, he warned.
Ordinary mouse traps will
usually control mice in the
home or garage. The traps
can be baited with many
kinds of attractive foods.
Bacon tied to the trigger is
a good bait. Peanut butter,
butter, flour, small pieces of
bread, and even cheese can
be used. Some people have
had success with chocolate
and gum drops.
Use several mouse traps in
infested rooms and in the ga
rage or other buildings near
the house, Roselle advised.

Project Working, Making friends
With Children M Lincoln Orthopedic
Students interested in work
ing with handicapped chil
dren at the Lincoln Ortho
pedic Hospital may partici
pate in the Orthopedic Proj
ect at the University.
"We want someone who is
truly interested in forming a
friendship relationship with a
youngster at the hospital,"
said Dr. Don Clifton, associ
ate professor of history and
principles of education and
educational psychology and
maesurements.
University students go to
the hospital, and choose one
child to work with. The aim
of the project, which has been
operating for about ten years,
is to form friendships between
the student and the child
"which have a meaning to
both."
Ann Kotouc, who has par
ticipated in the project since
she was a freshman, said
that she feels she has "gained
an understanding of how it
feels to be a handicapped
child and how it feel to be
disadvantaged in this way."
She has worked with the
children in the little boys'
ward, who are aged seven to
eleven.
"After I meet the child, I
talk to him, and find out
what he is interested in. I
may help him with subjects
he studies n school," Miss
Kotouc said.
The students meet once a
week to discuss mutual prob
lems, and to prepare materi
al for working with the chil
dren. The prjoect works in coop
eration with the social work
er and the head nurse at the
hospital.
