BLOOMINGTON, Dec. 22.—The ~ persistent charge that youth is be-
ing weaned away from religion fails . to check up with| latest observations
made at Indiana University.
The state university, being secular |
and assuming no authority over students in matters of church-going, is pointed to by church leaders here as a bright example of spontaneous
Almost 2000 students, one- ~third of the total university enrollment, are active members of some 14 _ church youth groups associated with
It is estimated that 1000 others attend church\ more or less regularly. More student time is devoted to! religion than to any other extra-| curricular activity, according to Dr.| Frank Beck, secretary of the Uni- | versity Committee on Religion.
Four Reasons Offered
Reasons cited for this growing in-| terest in religious participation are! the new. University Committee on! Religion, ‘rejuvenation of the Stu-!
dent Religious (Cabinet and forma-|
tion of the new Protestant Student] Religious Coungil, co-operation of! Bloomington ministers and teaching|| of church classés by universiey fac-| ulty members. | | President Herman B. Wells organ-|| ized the University Committee on| Religion last winter “to correlate independent religious activities on the campus and to study trends here . and elsewhere for the expansion and unification of religious service.’ After a survey lasting several months, the committee, composed of faculty members, students and ministers representing Catholic, Chris: tian Science, Jewish and Protestant faiths, recommended “an integrat+ ing of the scatfered religious activi+ ties of the campus into a general program which would more definitely represent 4he influence of the religious spirit in the university community. » “This does not mean,” said: Dr. Beck, “that any group has been asked to surrender in any way; the sole aim has been co-operation.” |
20 in Cabinet Group
The cabinet consists of 20 members, four from the Catholic Newman Club, four from the Christian . Science Group, four from the Jew- _ ish Hillel Foundation and eight from the Protestant Council. : Members hold bimonthly Sunday * breakfast meetings to discuss comimon problems; exchange ideas and occasionally to select speakers for university convocation programs. | President of| the cabinet is James Atkinson, Weston, W. Va., a Newman Club representative; vice president is James Huston, Fairmount, the Protestant: Council and | the First Christian Church group the secretary is Jean Glenn, Y. Ww. C. A. leader from | Pompton Plains. N. J., and the] treasurer is | Wilson Gittleman,|

for an all-student convocation this year. Sunday, of course, is the pivotal day for the groups, but each one carries on additional activities through the week. The general Sunday program, except for the Christian Science organization, goes like this: 9:30 a. m.—Student Sunday School class. 10:30 a. m.—Church services. 5:30 p. m.—Student dinner and social hour. 6:30 p. m.—Student vespers. 7:00 p. m—Student forum, with either a student or faculty guest leading the discussion. Christian Science students sponsor no social events, limiting their activities to a weekly Tuesday testimonial meeting and church attendance on Sunday morning.
Social Affairs Friday
On Friday nights other groups hold social events which range from novelties like hay-rides in the fall to special holiday parties, with Christmas next up. Other varied activities call for week-day attention. Examples, but not at all inclusive, are maintenance of a student choir by the First Christian group, administration of the St. Charles Catholic Church choir by the Newman Club and afternoon classes such as those in Hebrew and Jewish history offered by Hillel Foundation. A checkup showed that the Hillel group sponsored 17 different activities last week, not the least of which was a musical comedy, “So Let Em‘ Foreclose.” Most other groups also have active dramatic societies. At special joint meetings to be sponsored by all groups this year,

Convention Sponsored
