strategy of Mission which Is
appropriate to the facts of our
time. What the church now must
comprehend Is that traditional
missionary work is totally ir
relevant today and that mis
sionary action must be di
rected towards the practical
problems of society.
Mr. Owen’s first suggestion
is that “all” missionaries sent
by the United States should be
trained in development skills
as well as in traditional theo
logical and service skills. He
also recognizes that “chur
ches must organize themselves
into a political lobby in support
of foreign aid, a permanent
and vigorous constituency. To
do this, church members must
be challenged in development
problems to bring moral and
theological dimensions to their
work. In this light, the chur
ches must address themselves
specifically too controversial
questions such as the issues
regarding separatibn of church
and state, the birthcontrolpro-
blem and methods thereof-even
if it questionsparticular church
mythology such as Catholic
dogma. Itbecomesessentlalun
der the circumstances of des
perate needs within the L a 11 n
American community.
A final point is that the
Church must make no compro
mise with virulent United States
nationalism. For anything to
happen, the church cannot as
sociate Itself with a national
interest which is restricted to
its own preservation and which
connects the existence of its
political self with the existence
of the Christian religion. The
argument is that Christianity
goes beyond nationalism to a
Kingdom of God. Within this
framework “there can be a
response to the human needs
and suffering and ignorance in
Latin America, both with un-

a fair opportunity for all. Also
to be formalized will be a set
of qualifications for each ap

outside experience, the willing

of the Code of Responsibility,

In the question session fol
lowing his speech, Mr. Owen
responded to a question about
the inevitability of revolution
specifically in Latin America,
but also in the entire Third
World. He agreed that revolu
tion is inevitable and essential
for change under the circum
stances of the Third World. But
he specified the revolution could
be either peaceful or violent
depending on the receptiveness
and willingness of the United
States to act selflessly in as
sisting these nations to over
come their problems and to as
sure indigenous groups a re
sponsibility control over their
own destinies.
In connection with this, Mr.
Owen criticized the Peace
Corps for its recent attach
ment with the national affairs of
the United States. As the Peace
Corps was originally conceived,
it was independent of any poli
tical affiliation. It has com
promised its aims under the
new leadership and has there
fore lessened its legitimacy in
international circles.
What are those posters and
bumber stickers around cam
pus? In case you are wondering
what a TOWNES VAN ZANDT
or a MANDRAKE MEMORIAL
is, here is the story.
WSAP in association with
Poppy Records is presenting
a rock concert featuring “The
Mandrake Memorial and
Townes Van Zandt which is
co-sponsored by Poppy Records
and major college radio sta
tions throughout the U.S.
“The Mandrake Memorial”
has up until this time performed
mostly in the eastern U. S. where
they have been received with al
most unanimously rave notices.
Record World described the
group in its review of their
Carnegie Hall concert as “Pop
py’s incredible psychedelic
rock trio, which remains one
of the mostunder-rated Ameri
can groups. They produce sym
phonic sound which forms into
the beautiful escapist move
ments of their endless rock
concerto. Their leader is really
their drummer and their sound
is of the future.’' “The Man
drake Memorial” is the group
of the 70’s.
“Townes Van Zandt is a
slim poet-folkslnger from
Texas who composes stunningly
brilliant ballads about very
simple things; goln’ out to Den
ver; his loving a Colorado girl;
columbines; love’s quicksilver
bittersweetness and “how soft
the time flies past your window
at night.”
