WESLEY FOUNDATION Well-Rounded Program Studies have been made to find meaning in life through science, art, and religion. The religious aspect of this type of study has been greatly followed by the Wesley Foundation on the Tech campus. This is done through forums and the Lay Academy. The forums, held on Wednesday nights, are organized with a speaker, usually a professor or a graduate stu- dent, followed by a discussion session. The preferred topics are controversial items such as the hippie, the playboy philosophy, and Negro history. The Lay Academy was divided into seven groups this year, having meetings regularly scheduled for Mon- day, Tuesday, and Thursday nights. One group is designed especially for freshmen. The program consists of orientation, general outlook, and liv- ing in Twentieth century. Other groups of the division study aspects of education, the church ' s role in the secular world, ecumenical future, future ethics for revolutionary times, various histories, and Bible in- terpretation. The goal of the program is to improve one ' s living quotient. Through the study, the participants are attempt- ing to answer questions about their lives: Where is his part? What does he do about it? What kind of a per- son is he in relation to others? Groups are kept small to encourage frank dis- cussion. In addition to these programs, there was the Perkins Lecture Series, consisting of four professors from SMU, two speakers each semester. Also, there were worship services on Tuesday morning. Sunday ' s agenda included lectures, discussions, films, and dinner. Entertainment such as hootenan- nies and parties were another form of fellowship offered at the Wesley Foundation. The Wesley group kept busy planning programs and activities which would enrich the lives of mem- bers and visitors. Members of the Wesley Foundation at a Wednesday night forum are: Rev. Gene Sarley, Hugh Hays, Julie Lindqulst, Shirley McAlister, Joe Hilbun, Mrs. Faye Matthews, Dr. Cecil Matthews, David Sanders, Tom Nagle, Laura Wheeler, Bonnie Baker. Seated: Sue Walker, Linda Lutgens. Kneeling: Wesley Wallace. Allen Kenley, and Joe Reeder. 10 Tyme
