Chiefs, the Living Stones Ca singing groupj, Dr. John Newport, a theologian from Southwestern Seminary, and The Fantastic Flying Zuchinai Brothers, Lord make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there injury, let me sow pardon. Where there doubt, let me sow faith. Where there despair, let me sow hope. Where there darkness, let me sow light. Where there sadness, let me sow joy. Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console. To be understood, as to understand. To be loved, as to love. For, it is in giving, that we receive. lt is in pardoning, that we are pardoned. It is in dying, that we are born to eternity. 5455 55 2 St. Francis Qextreme lefty Keith Kopp stands next to the winning CKAD wreath at The Hanging of the Green.

The Spirit Of Jewell, Lectureship The current lectureship program has evolved from a series of chapel pro- grams. As it used to be, everyone was required to attend the servicesdthrlee days a week. Each student was assigned a seat and roll was taken every ay 21' marking the empty seats. Students were allowed about IOZ absenteeism an A in bu the resulting penalty for excessive absences was one nega- tive hour per semester. A negative hour meant that one more hour was required for graduation. For those of us who can always find something better to do than attend chapel, 50 years ago that would have been difficult to do. The Library, the Union, and other campus buildings were closed during chapel. There was truly little else to do. There were few visiting speakers. ln the course of a year the students heard nearly all faculty members speak at chapel. Each de- partment also presented programs similar to our science night or music and drama presentations. The Friday services were usually reserved for the students to present such things as pep rallies, new plays, orations by returning foren- sics champions or introducing queen candidates. Though it has changed much in format in the last 50 years, the Lectureship program of today includes many interesting carryovers from the past. Attendance is still required, but the penalties are not as steep. There are still departmental presentations, though only a few of our faculty members speak. And its main emphasis is still on the Christian faith in the world. This year's eight Lectureship programs included: God's World - Our World, Some Call it Greed, A Tapestry of Humor and Drama, The Hanging of the Green, The Conflu- ence of Heritage and Hope, Women's Awareness: The Dy- namic of Consciousness, and Christianity and the Arts. vi !
