20 worship policy is designed to allow freedom of wor- ship. it a student wants more than is available at dorm worships, if he or she wants to be a participant in worship, if he or she feels a need to reach out to others. students can involve themselves in one of the spiritual organizations on campus. Campus Ministries is such an organization. The WWC Church provides approximately $3,000 every year from combined budget to fund the CM progra ms. In past years CM has received around $6,000 per year from the North Pacific Union Conference office in addi- tion to the money from the WWC Church. But, as ex- penses went up and tithe receipts came down, the NPUC has discontinued their annual grant. Although CM is funded by the church, students are in charge of the day-to-day operation of the programs. This year, Kevin Ringering, a senior Religion major, led CM and tried to offer students the opportunity to parti- cipate in religious activities that they wouldn't other- wise get involved in. Programs iiKe Adopt-a-Grand- parent and Big BrotheHBig Sisterallow WWC students to develop a loving bond with community members who need the companionship and support college stu- dents can give. Collegiate Adventists for Better Living, better Known as CABL, provides WWC students with general information about their health. CABL sponsors many helpful worships and activities designed to im- prove the students' quality of life. The Student Missionary program is probably the best Known program Campus Ministries works with. The SM calibook has hundreds of missionary opportunities. A WWC student can teach English in Jerusalem or pastor a church in Bolivia. There are openings in the Orient. in Africa and in the South Pacific and this year WWC even sent three students to Nepal. Campus Minis- tries screens the applicants before they leave and coordinates with the General Conference to get the students placed in the country and jobs they want. While abroad, students work for the local conferences where they are stationed. While the EMS are gone they aren't forgotten.

?.x'a VAV: Wst V434 IVAV VAV fab W13: 91 It's Thursday evening in the Galatian church. Paul steps up to the marble podium, firmly grasping the sides. I'd like to thank Luke for that short worship talk on the need we have to eat healthy foods. and how health affects our communion with God. Thanks again, Luke. Good job. l'm afraid l have some bad news. Most of you here today are behind in worship credits. As you know Monday is the last day ofthe period and everyone is required 37 worships. Friday night vespers tomor- row at 7:30 pm. will count double, so I want to see you all there. Anybody that has attended 20 times or less needs to make an appointment to see me. We don't want to take away Chariot privileges. Thank you. You're dismissed from the front and Timothy and Titus will be in the back taking cards. And remember . . . youire saved by grace. through faith. Mouhtalh Ash Weekly chapel services tfar leftl in the sanctuary provide an opportunity forthe entire studehtbody to meet together as a group.

How can you force students to wor- ship? It's a good question, but at this point the Walla Walla College worship policy is firmly grounded. Whether students understand it or not. worships are seen as a necessary part of this Christian college and they are here to stay. Worship requirements are much easier than they used to be. Gone are the days of twice daily dorm worships and daily Chapels. Now the dis- criminating worshipper can select five worships per week, out of a menu of 15 or so. Some like sermons. some like music. some like crowds, others like small groups, but all appreciate the chance to choose which worships best feed their soul and fit into their tight schedule. Although closely monitored by the deans. the x4 KO
