Chapel, Collegiate Challenge meet spiritual needs It ' s a big job, Ron Crecelius, GFC ' s chaplain, told me, coming out of chapel one Wednesday morning, but I ' ve never received as many compliments as this year. Ron said his goal was not just to book the chapel schedule full, but to follow a graph of our needs and then attempt to meet them. From what I heard around campus, I think he came pretty close. Some of my personal favorites were music groups like Steve and Maria, Dan Whitemore, and Pam Mark Hall. And we had some exceptional speakers- like Richard Foster, Dr. Keith Phillips, and Sam Alvord — which really inspired me to stretch my faith. Collegiate Challenge, another aid to our spiritual health on campus, also flourished this year. Werner Seibert, the student chaplain, was in charge and worked closely with Chaplain Ron, who couldn ' t say enough about what a ter- rific job Werner did. Werner ac- complished some long-standing goals this year, one of which was making a Collegiate Challenge banner with the help of Esther Hopper; and he schedul- ed some especially interesting Col- legiate Challenge programs, such as the Albrecht, Roley and Moore concert and Mike Hike ' s speech on sexuality. Several informal films were also shown— although not always on Wed- nesday nights— dealing with topics like nuclear energy, world hunger, preserv- ing the whale population, the promo- tion of commercial infant formula in underdeveloped countries, and the political situation in South Africa. The meetings that were held in the dorms were very popular, with attendance up to an approximate average of 35 per meeting. Werner and Ron felt this size met our individual needs better than larger groups would have. Together, Ron and Werner function- ed as a highly efficient and cooperative team of chaplain and student chaplain. 30 Chapel-Collegiate Challenge
