The nation’s first kickoff dinner for DePauw University’s Design for a Decade drive among alumni and friends will be held Monday at 6:30 p. m. in Bowman Gymnasium. Over 400 persons are anticipated for the invitational dinner which will be emceed by Ernest Collins, area chairman for the Putnam County fund - raising
effort.
Sharing the platform with Collins will be Kenneth Eitel, Greencastle businessman and president of the Putnam County DePauw Alumni club, and President William E. Kerstetter. The Monday night dinner also will mark the premiere public showing of DePauw’s new sourd and color film. The 25-minute movie was filmed in Greencastle during the past year. F o 11 o w i ng the Greencastle kickoff some 40 similar events will be held across the country before May 15. The aim of all will be to inform university alumni and friends about DePauw’s future plans and to enlist their support in the overall $33 million development pro-
gram.
The effort has especial significance at this time since DePauw is working on a Ford Foundation challenge grant. To qualify for the $2,000,000, the university must raise in actual cash $6,000,000 by June, 1969. The overall goal of $33 million is earmarked for several projects. About $14.7 million of the funds raised will be used toward building construction, renovation, beautification and land acquisition; $12 million is planned for endowment to support scholarships and salaries, and $6 million more is scheduled for current use over a 10-year
period.
Among the new buildings planned are a science center, a performing arts center that would include a music building, auditorium and theatre building, a fieldhouse - gymnasium-swim-ming pool complex, and a health
center.

Base bids ranging from $1,474,300 to $1,789,000 for the general construction of the Greencastle High School Addition were opened at a meeting of the Greencastle Community School Building Corporation held in the Junior High Library Thursday night. Promptly at 7:30, Glen Monnett, President, called the meeting to order and Roy Sutherlin, Corporation attorney, proceeded to open the 26 sealed bids with approximately 50 school officials and representatives from various bid firms in attendance. With Richard C. Lennox, representing the firm of Lennox, Matthews, Simmons, and Ford, school architect, reading, the eight general construction bids with the 13 alternates were completed in 25 minutes. The low to high base bid does not include the 13 alternate bids. Five mechanical work bids were opened with two alternates. Base bids ranged from $442,000 to a high of $492,600. Five minutes later, three electrical bids varying from $283,000 to $326,647 were opened for public inspection. Lennox finished the bidding with the reading of the bleacher and auditorium bids. Low bid on the 5,000 plus bleachers was $66,000, the high bid was $92,800. Seven hundred auditorium chairs will cost $19,355. After the architects have tabulated the numerous bids, their recommendations will be presented to the Greencastle Community School Board at their regular meeting Monday. In turn, the School Board will decide which base bid and alternates they wish to accept or delete. Then, their recommendations will be presented to the School Building Corporation for the final decision. Five Missing In Gulf Of Mexico CAMERON, La. UPI — A butane-triggered explosiori and fire swept an offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico Friday night. Five men were missing and 10 injured. Most crewmen of the Continental Oil Company’s Homer 4G No. 8 jumped overboard, but it was feared five were caught in the fire. Thick fog and lingering fire aboard the rig hampered search operations Friday night and early today. The rig was located about 35 miles south of this southwest Louisiana coastal town. Seven of the survivors were flown to Lake Charles, La., by helicopter. The other three were taken to South Cameron Hospital in Creole, another coastal town to the east.
Protestant students holding retreats in monasteries and a course in theology of urban renewal represent growing evidence of ecumenism entering the collegiate scene. Products of "a mild ferment” in education in religion, these developments are more or less typical of a number of experimental college programs cropping up across the country, a recent survey shows. The survey, aimed at discovering what is going on re-ligion-wise on the church-re-lated college campus, has been reported on by Dr. William E. Kerstetter, president of Metho-dist-related DePauw University. The article appears In the December issue of Liberal Education. Among the trends reflected in the responses of 120 Protestant and 90 Catholic colleges and universities are these: 1. Experimentation in teaching religion as an academic discipline is taking place, though it is not as widespread or as creative as it might be hoped. 2. Catholic-related colleges and universities are “more daring” than Protestant institutions when it comes to translating ecumenism into academic courses and co-curricular programs. 3. More Protestant colleges are moving toward cross-dis-ciplinary courses taught by the department of religion and representatives of other departments. 4. Both groups are participating together more in non-class-room activities, particularly where Protestant and Catholic schools are close geographically to one another. “The experimentation is mom daring in Catholic-related institutions where there has been a genuine, and probably successful, effort to reflect the spirit of the Second Vatican Council in new curricular and co-cur-ricular programs,” according to the report. “On the Protestant side, w* find institutions showing greater emphasis on the ecumenical movement in their courses of study, with Catholic and Jewish clergy being invited to give lectures or lead discussion groups,” Kerstetter writes. The DePauw president reports the greatest similarity between Catholic and Protestant institutions seems to be in off-campus and community activities. Student work in civil rights movements is often inspired by an explicit religious concern. He writes that other students are working through student religious organizations to organize tutoring sessions for disadvantaged children in slums or migrant worker camps. Catholic Albertus Magnus College in Connecticut, Kerstetter states, is an example of ecumenism in the curriculum. There a course called Protestant Christianity is being offered with some of the lectures given by Protestant scholars. Trinity College in Washington, D.C. is proposing a course on theology of urban renewal. (Continued on Page 5)
