MEREDITH HERALD Volume XI, Issue 17 February 1, 1995 Raleigh, North Carolina Lecturer presents "A View from the Underside" by Marsha Tutor The Wednesday morning worship service Jan. 25 at Meredith’s Christina and Seby Jones Chapel began with an organ prelude by Dr. David Lynch, head of the music department. Then the congregation sang the hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” and Rev. Sam Carothers voiced community con cerns. But this worship service was differendt because b A1 Staggs pre sented “A View From the Underside: The Legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.” This presentation depicted the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The setting is a Gestapo prison cell around 1943 in Germany. Staggs, playing the part of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, begins by sol emnly pacing the length of the prison cell and asking God for someone to talk with. He then exclaims that he will speak to the future. Bonhoeffer(Staggs) explains tliat he is in prison because of a decision he made when he was four- teenyearsold— to become apreacher church of the 1930’s. Bonhoeffer believed that one prob Chapel lecturer,Pastor Al Staggs, presented the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a religious activist for change in Nazi Germany. Bonhoeffer sought to better the German Church, and he was imprisoned for his beliefs about religion and government. and change the church. Bonhoeffer believed that there were many aspects wrong with the Protestant German lem with the church was its application of the Bible to peoples daily lives. To day this problem still exists because Meredith's Cat Team's cat trap is missing by Kimberly Zucher Whether picking up Gumby’s pizza, waiting for a date, or moving back into school, we have all seen the many cats circling around Johnson Hall. Have you ever wondered where these cats came from, or what hap pens to them when they move onto the Meredith campus? Anne Pugh, Chuck Taylor’s assis tant, and Frank Berry , from General Services, have invested a lot of time into curing Meredith of this cat prob lem. The main problems with the cats are their fleas and their fertility. These cats come in off the streets and are usually dirty, so they bring in fleas to circulate throughout Meredith. The cats also generate kittens. The cat population is very high on the campus, so the cats at Meredith have to be neutered or spade. If not, Meredith will be helping to increase the already high cat population. To combat this problem, Pugh and Berry set cat traps. The traps, called “HaveaHeartTrap,” inno way hurtthe cats. The cats are reeled in by a plate of sardines. When they step on a panel, the trap door flies down. Dur ing the summer, the team caught about 20 cats in this fashion. However, the cat trap is missing. Pugh and Berry fear that someone may "I only want to make sure they have good homes, receive their shots, and are prevented from having kittens." - Ann Pugh Cat Team member have stolen the trap because they feared the cats were being given to the Humane Society. The “Cat Team” wants to be sure the students know that each cat is given a home.> Pugh has taken several of the cats to her own home. Since she cannot fill her entire house full of cats, she takes the rest to the Six Forks Animal Hospi tal. There, her vet gives each cat all the necessary shots and finds the cat a home. Berry has been nicknamed “The Catman.” He often takes the cats home to tame them and then sends them to the Second Chance Adoption Agency. They want to stress to students that the cats are wild and students should not get near them. Both Pugh and Berry urge anyone to call them with information concerning the cat trap or questions about the cats. If students do spot a cat, one of the two will be glad to come and get it. Pugh can be reached at 8516, and Berry at 8560. As I finished talking to Pugh, she pulled out a huge bag of cat food from under her desk. Smiling at me she said, “I cannot let the poor things starve to death! I only want to make sure they have good homes, receive their shots, and are prevented from having kittens. ” The cats have been around Meredith for as long as Pugh can remember. She believes she cannot ignore the prob lem, and by working with Berry, they can help the cats and Meredith. people still do not apply the teachings of the Bible to their daily lives. Another problem with the church, according to Bonhoeffer, is that the German churches were stagnant and did not work on the serious problems of the world. In today’s churches this is also a problem. Today’s churches many times try to overlook the numerous problems of the world such as abor tion, violence, and drugs. But churches should consider the problems of the world their own problems. Bonhoeffer also believed that the church belonged in the middle of the German villages because this is where life and its many problems occur.
