Monday, November 20, 1967 THE DKTRRF. r4GK,a COMMENTARY BY In the past few weeks there has been a great deal of dis cussion regarding the content and the attendance policy of the Wesleyan Chapel Service. In all of the comments, it has been taken for granted that the form of the chapel service must remain a part of the Wesleyan environment \Yhile the content of those services should 'be made more beneficial. In ef fect, the administration is try ing to revitalize a corpse and the product will unavoidably be a Frankenstein attempting to glorify God. The concept of a chapel serv ice is itself illogical, for it was promulgated to eliminate a problem which the adminis tration can not solve and should not attempt to solve. Since the first year of classes, Wes leyan has felt duty bound to keep the flame of faith burn ing hotly within every mem ber of the Wesleyan community. To attain this end, the admin istration devised the policy of; compulsory chapel attendance, and in the process nullified any hope of success. The administration did not realize that any chapel service designed to appeal to all of the religious MATT GAFFNEY sects on campus would neces sarily be so vague that it would be uninspiring and ineffective Even if such were not the case, however, it is not the re sponsibility of the administra tion to concern itself with the preservation of the Christian attitude in Wesleyan students. The only students who need this type of watchdog service will reject its being crammed down their throats. It is a useless venture which no amount of debating or com promising could improve. The only logical alternative to this situation is to remove ciiapel services altogether from the province of the adminis tration. It should become a function of the Inter - Faith Commission, with appropria tions from the administration equal to those of the former chapel fund. All of the serv ices should be planned and pre sented’ by the Inter - Faith Commission which would have the use of the administration’s office facilities. Attendance would be voluntary: the proper and only gauge of its influence upon the student body.

ASIS Grand Duchy of Luxembourg look on his face as he realizes that in just a few short hours he will once again have some more clean jeans. This was taken just before he prepared for the fall drive. Later, in an exclusive interview, he told this reporter, “Next spring I’ll be organizing another drive. Anyone interested in partici- pa.ting will be welcomed-those sheep get powerful rowdy after a winter out on the open range around Rocky Mount, especially if a small passel of goats get mixed up with them.” With that the old sheepherder shouldered his wash, combed the pine tags out of his beard and departed into the sun.
