Adaptability Of Religion To Life Moves Near
EDITOR'S NOTE: This
is the conclusion of a scr
ies about modern religion
and its adaptability to to
day's World. Senior Staff
Writer Ton! Victor and
News Assistant Eileen
Wirth today discuss the at
titudes and activities of
campus religious groups.
Campus student religious
organizations are moving,
through discussions at least,
to become relevant to the
modern world and the mod
ern campus. Methods of do
ing this vary from group to
group.
One of the newest and
smallest religious groups on
campus, Student Religious
Liberals, is still primarily
a discussion group, accord
ing to its president, John
Schrekinger.
With only ten or so regu
lar members, the group is
really too small to engage

the future it may, he said.
"Our group gets people to
discuss matters that, are of
concern to them. We sup
ply a need for this sort of
thing. There are plenty of
other groups on campus
that are busy acting,"
Schrekinger said.
The main value of Hillel,
the Jewish student group
lies in the fact that it per
mits Jewish students on
campus to gather with oth
er Jewish students, accord
ing to Judy Drickey.
Miss Drickey said that
Jewish students are such a
small minority on campus
that they have difficulty re
taining their identity. Hillel
helps them to do this.
The group presents speak
ers and has provided on
campus religious services
for Jewish students. It does
not concern itself actively
with social problems.

The main purposes of
Gamma Delta, the student
group of the Missouri Sy
nod Lutheran Chapel on
campus are service and
knowledge, according to its
vice president Lynn Rath
jen. He said the group works
with children in the Cedars
Home for children once a
week and has a program to
aid residents of an old peo
ple's home. In addition,
Gamma Delta sponsors a
Christmas party and vari
ous activities for foreign
students.
He said the group tries to
foster knowledge by having
films, speakers, programs,
discussion group and Bib
lical studies.
He commented that the
officers of the group are
currently undertaking
a complete evaluation to
find out if they have been
doing enough. He noted that

although they have about
200 members and a weekly
attendance of about 80, the
group has not been grow
ing, as the University has
grown.
Newman Club, the Catho
lic student organization, is
seeking to help students be
come involved in the larg
er community both on and
off campus and to get stu
dents out of the Catholic
ghetto, according to the
Reverend Mr. Ray
mond Hain, pastor of St.
Thomas Quinas.
He said that the Newman
Center seeks to provide ad
vancement in students spir
itual lives by presenting the
latest in Catholic thought
and by giving them oppor
tunities to study the best
current Catholic theo
logians. He said that the Newman
Center is also seeking to

make students understand
what happened at Vatican
II and how it affects them.
Discussions on such sub
jects as birth control and
abortion are aimed at stim
ulating thought and making
the students conscious of
their responsibilities to the
rest of the world.
The Newman Center
sponsors programs at the
state hospital and at White
hall Orphanage. However,
the Newman Center's main
objective is to stimulate stu
dents to become involved
rather than providing
groups for them to work
through, Father Hain
slated.
The aim of St. Mark's on
the Campus is to give stu
dents the training and the
ideals about what is right
and then to let them work
through other groups, ac
cording to the Reverend Mr.
STUDENT CONDUCT CHAIRMAN . . . Dick Schulze
after spending several months investigating student
rights lead his committee in finishing the first rough
draft of a Student Bill of Rights.

George Peek, rector of the
church.
He said the Canterbury
Club is made up mostly
of a small group of active
workers. Among their pro
grams are a monthly news
paper "T h e Fisherman"
which Is sent to all Episco
pal student groups in the
state.
Nancy Henrickson, a
member of the Canterbury
Club board, said that the
group helps to promote
"living a Christian life in a
modern w o r 1 d." An ex
change with Newman Club
and a folk mass have
helped to promote this ob
jective, she stated.
Wesley Foundation has
two basic roles, according
to the Reverend Mr. James
Reed .
He said the first of these
is to be a "gathered
church," worshipping as a
community. It is here that

here for a short period in November. :
In Discussions
an intellectual understand
ing of the gospel can be ob
tained. He said the other major
role of the church is to
scatter the word.
"If the church gathers
and does not scatter it be
comes stagnant and irrele
vant. If it scatters but does
not gather it becomes a
mere activity group a
ship without a rudder," he
noted.
He said the church is
sponsoring a detailed study
of a number of modern
theologian to promote re
ligious understanding.
An active campaign in the
city to promote a housing
code is one of the social
projects that the group has
undertaken.
Reed commented that the
campus churches must ex
tend them themselves to the
world outside the campus.

"College is not a four year
vacation from the world,"
he stated.
United Campus Christian
Fellowship endeavors to
provide fellowship for stu
dents and to give them a
place to drop in, according
to Howard Davis, a mem
ber of the group.
The center provides hos
pitality for foreign students
as a means of exposing stu
dents to a wide variety of
people.
Weekly forums on sex,
politics, religion, morality
and the basic problems of
students seek to give stu
dents help in meeting their
needs in the modern world.
A recent forum topic was
homosexuality and the
Christian.
"College is so spread out.
UCCF offers a fellowship
and helps to bring you to
gether with other students,"
Davis stated.
