Chapel The Monday and Wednesday chapel-assembly at 11:00 a.m., confronted the student with many mind-stimulating thoughts. Under the direction of Chaplain Ron Crecelius, chapels this year had thee main purposes: (1) a social pur- pose, for considering matters of common concern; (2) a devotional purpose, to consider various aspects of faith and life; and (3) an intellectual purpose, whereby students and faculty could give thoughtful consideration of contempor- ary modern issues. Some of the chapel programs included: Rev. Wendell Wallace; Dr. Geddes MacGregor; The New Friends Five; Dr. Dale Parnell; Dr. McGavern; Dr. Levi T. Pennington; Leo Thornton; Dr. Bob Schuller; Jerry Sandoz; Don Mar- dock; Roselle Gilmore; Dr. Wesley Duewel; Jerry Landrey; Glen Terry; Dr. Edward Tseng; GFC Choir; Dr. Winfield Am; the film on drug abuse: The Seekers ; Bob Gilmore Sheldon Louthan in sacred concert; Cliff Samuelson ' s Kabosh ; The Madri-Guy and Gals; and On Being Black.

These facil- ities are only launching pads for the everpensive student.

A very important realm of mental development is that of attitudes. How does the student feel about Cambodia, un- rest in the universities, discrimination or problems dealing with matters closer to home? And when he decides that he does have real feelings about these, how does he express them? Pray for Biafra, or Jesus People Unite or Prayer meeting for the Cambodian situation . . these are just signs f interested, thinking people. And what next? Do the ideas art attitudes remain within, or do they grow into We We hlACO realism? The soup-eaters can say, We believed, so we acted. The people who thought about Biafra said, were concerned and we wanted others to be too, or t were those who wore black arm bands who said, wanted others to know how we felt. Then there were those who did not understand the situation concerning Cambodia, so some interested persons said, We do not want apathy; we want people to know and form their own opinions. Therefore a day was set aside, and those who wanted learned and some found newly-formed opinions r ed to
