ION r, W 4 1I ^ALL 56UTW CAO7L.INA, Pro Open Do By Luthe: Fourth in a series on religion and the campus. By JAN SURRATT Staff Writer "A French proverb states that one cannot make love from a dis tance . . . neither can one get to know one from a distance . . . "Therefore the pastor's office piedges itself to the open door policy; hopefully the pastor's of fice will be a place where labels do not matter." The Rev. Robert Dasher must believe in these words, because they are posted on his office door at the USC Lutheran Center. To Dasher, the Lutheran Cen ter is not confined to the struc ture itself, but is more embracing. "The center is people; and what it means for one it may not mean for another . . . here there are op portunities for worship, service, fellowship and, hopefully, com munity."

"Different people use it for different things at different times and that's what the center is for to meet these needs." "We're here to accept the stu dent and allow him either to re spond to or reject this accept ance," said Dasher. Paradoxi cally, student rejection can be good, "if it allows the student to at least be honest with him self." So many think of religion or church as an institution and not "a stance of life," he pointed out. The student sees hypocrisy in the church and this "turns him off." "As a ministry of the church here at the center, we have the t opportunity to relate to the stu dent on a different frame of reference, so the student is able to look at those habits that BLE SOUND I A ESTLY PRICED [ODULAR )dular MM10W/GD Walnut Grained Vinyl* 3peaker Systems Included table e 20 Watts EIA e All Dust Cover e Stand, Op .95R fL EY'S |r MUSIC CENTER , P M.

A three-phase program esti mated at $1.5 to $2 million, the complex will eventually include a walkway extending from the undergraduate library to Cliff House, a new three-story gym and later a swimming area. "One year ago we had the old gym, unusable for anything else, Hillel Sp4 Folk Pro Hillel will sponsor a widely known folk singing group, Joe and Penny Aronson, in a program March 16 at the Columbia Jewish Community Center, 4540 Trenholn Road.

Even with these three we faced a set-up that was miserable. Then when the Field House burned down we moved from crisis to catastro phe," Brunton said. "The whole set-up for athletics has been inadequate for 20 to 30 years, but we couldn't afford to do what should have been done." "We needed it even when we had the Field House, but the Univer sity has had to face a set of pri orities.

Now they are going to get a chance for direct participation," he said. "We will go out for bids in late spring for the first phase. The mall, 20-feet-wide, will house pipes underneath for air-conditioning and will be used for pedestrian and bicycle traffic," said Brunton. The mall, to be completed by next fall, will extend from the patio of Cliff House to Wheat Street. "We will then let contracts for the physical education complex. The pedestrian mall will be com pleted up to the undergraduate library, both hopefully to be fin ished by the fall of 1970," Brunton said.

The third floor will contain four regulation basketball cour's, ex pected to be covered with Tartan, the product used for the Coliseum basketball court surface. Accord ing to Brunton, plans include the addition of eight more courts in the future. The second floor will house locker rooms, four handball-squash courts and offices for the physical education faculty. On the bottom floor, there will be space for wrestling, boxing, dancing or golf. There will also be office space. "We received $375,000 insurance after the Field House burned, $200,000 in a federal grant and the rest is from institution bonds," said Brunton. Location of the gym was se lected because of its proximity to the playing fields, according to Brunton. It will also be easily reached from either the present campus or the future south cam pus. Brunton said. "We recovered this area in urban renewal and now have six fields down there. This complex will logically fit into the scheme," he said. Warren Giese, head of the physi cal education department, said the need for space for the gym lecture classes should be filled by the complex. According to Brunton, a great deal of the bottom floor could be used for academic purposes. "We got started last year on a small scale to search out locations for use in athletics. We converted a tennis court over by Woodrow to a basketball court because it would be of more use to more stu dents as a basketball area," he said. p Returns mpames Sunday they reached Detroit, Nlich. The group was the guest of Park-Davis and Co. in Detroit on Monday and of the Upjohn Co. in Kalamazoo on Tuesday and Wed nesday. These are two of the na tion's largest pharmaceutical com panies. Ir. R. W. Morrison, (lean of the School of Pharmacy, said, "The purpose is largely educational. Students see leaders in industry. They see the manufacturing part of pharmacy ev-en to the point of packaging andl marketing." He considers the tours "an op portunity equiv-alent to nearly a semester of studly in terms of ed ucational value." He adldedl, "Of course there is some recreational value too." "The students participate in seminars, group discussions and tours of pharmaceutical labs. They pay for their own transportation, but once they reach these :-om panies, the companies pay all ex penses," Miorrison said. N! 8 _ 498 ORS
