Seven religious organizations
'fe co-sponsoring their first Tent
’arty Friday night and Saturday
inf'orning.
The evening starts at 6 p.m.
'ith a volleyball game at the court
Orth of Moseley Center. Theover-
■ght will also include a concert
'ven by singer/guitarist Fran
McKendree from Toronto, Canada.
An outdoor movie will be shown at
10 p.m.
Everyone is invited to spend a
night of hot dogs and s’mores in
“The Woods” north of Moseley
Center. However, participants are
not required to sleep outside or stay
for the full evening.
“It is an effort to promote unity
among all the religious life organi
zations, and to give new students
an opportunity to meet each other,”
said Winn Crenshaw, a member of
Elon ’ s Methodist Fellowship Group
and a Religious Life staff worker.
The idea for the tent party
started as a fundraiser option. How
ever, it was decided that it would be
an opportunity for all the religious
organizations to co-sponsor an
event that anyone - religious or not
- can enjoy.
Chaplain Richard McBride
sees it as an “opportunity for great
fun for everyone in an alcohol-free
environment.”
McBride hopes to continue
these types of events in coopera
tion with several other organiza
tions throughout the year.
Cathy Zagrodnik, a student
worker in the Religious Life Of
fice, hopes to see about 50 partici
pants.
“It’s an excellent opportunity
for interaction as well as a place for
freshmen to meet new people. It
will give them an alternative to
activities involving alcohol,” she
said.
Anyone interested should con
tact the Religious Life Office in
Moseley 206 so that enough food
can be purchased for the evening.
Sleeping bags and tents can be re
served with Campus Recreation.
Vbbot brings Zen teachings, culture to Elon

Staff Reporter
Elon College students may
ftrn about the nature of their being
\ iday when a local Zen teacher
sits the college for the second
He.
Sandy Gentei Stewart has stud-
* with Zen masters in the United
and Japan and considers him-
® practitioner of Zen rather
a philosopher.
Stewart will discuss his per-
^al journey from 9:20 a.m. to
®-ni. in Whitley Auditorium.
He will discuss Zen teachings
^ philosophy from 10 a.m. to
a m. in the Moseley Center
0"i2l5.
^ At noon, lunch will be served
at the Lodge and will consist of
soup, salad and br^ad.
Stewart will end his visit with
a meditation at the Lodge from
12:40 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
“Zen can be both a religion
and a way of life,” Stewart said.
Typically religion in the United
States is focused on external being,
the word religion means to recon
nect with the external being. Zen
isn’t about whether there is an ex
ternal being or not.”
He said people of all faiths,
including priests and rabbis, study
Zen.
Stewart lives in Pittsboro with
his wife Susanna where he is the
abbot of the Squirrel Mountain
Zendo.
“Zen is trying to clarify what
the original nature of ourselves is,”
Stewart said. “In a sense it’s a re
linking with ourselves without hav
ing to give up religious beliefs.”
Chaplain Richard McBride
agreed.
“Ztn is more about a way of
living, than a set of beliefs. Its a
style of being in the world that’s
respectful of the environment and
all living things,” McBride said.
A sitting at the Elon Lodge
during Stewart’s last visit to Elon
in April, pleased him because he
said the students were alert and
curious about Zen and its practice.
“It was invigorating for me to
have that inner change. It was a
wonderful spirit we generated,” he
said.

An Amofi Eivnn oonvaiy
Student treated for inhalation
after mixing toxic chemicals
GUlian Jablonski
Reporter
An Elon College football
player was treated at Alamance
Regional Medical Center Monday
for possible toxic inhalation after
mixingchemicals in aCoke bottle,
Elon College Police Chief Dan
Ingle said.
Stephen Wayne Bloodworth
Jr., 20, of Smith Dorm, took the
bottle outside when the chemical
reaction began emitting toxic gas,
Ingle said. Once outside, he was
overcome by the fumes.
Police said Bloodworth took
Drano, placed it in a 20 oz. Coke
bottle and then added aluminum
foil, which created the toxic gas.
Ingle said he contacted the Dis
trict Attorney.
However, since the incident
was on campus, Assistant Dean of
Students Scott Nelson is handling
the situation.
“I was not intending to hurt
anyone...I was just screwing
around,” Bloodworth said.
Nelson said he met with
Bloodworth Tuesday, but no for
mal charges have been made. The
incident is still being investigated
