"It is very difficult to get students to par ticipate in programs of any nature.' .1emmet feas that his respon sibility as a Sttent chaplain "Is to bi a minist4andpastor to those who are willi0g to have one." At times, students seek Ham met's counsel-at the Westminster Center. Some problems may be "academic in nature, some are moral, some are persona, and others are deeply spiritual. Presbyterian students may participate in various activities at Westminster Fellowship. Wed nesday evening suppers and programs are offered, and Monday evenings students visit at the State Hospital. "The different programs we have appeal to different students; but we would hope that we develop students who will worship and work, socialize and serve," Hammet said. "Chances are, we are living in one of the most religious ages known to man," he said, but added, "the only trouble is that the gods that we worship aren't worth it." Our god, according to the chaplain. is "whoever we give our Imagine Checks olina nane Along v in bold lette All tog checkbook ] They're And th4 own checki your money Besides v J.

These gods an often "ego-centered: gods of self gratification," he added. .However, most of these gods will not be able to stand "a time of Crisis, and I believe this is coming," he mid. This is why "the future of faith on campus is unlimited," said Hammet. "And I think its time will come." Many students "piotest against the establishment by don't have solutions to the problems they are protesting," said the Rev. Bonaventure Brown, Roman Catholic chaplain at Carolina. "Idealism Is fine." Brown ad ded. "you may be right In what you protest. but you have to have answers to the problems you protest." Many issues today are in directly involved with religion, he said. The churches have proposed solutions with "the hope of producing good effects without rebellion." These solutions have in their intent the good of all men, not just a. segment of society, he added.

Some Students, however, are saying the church is not doing anything, according to Brown, and this is because "they expect the church to line up with their protest." .."If we fulfill the task of religion-to bring men closer to God- then all this other will rown maid. "Men conscious of God, will have greater respect for justice and charity and, therefore, will automatically give every man his due -and respect the rights of others," he continued. Concerning his campus ministry, Father Brown said at tendance at his center is good because of "where we put the emphasis-on worship." .. The Catholic center activities have been moved to the Wesley Foundation on Pickens Street where the Catholic and Methodist groups are sharing facilities. Christian Ecumenical Center is the new name of the shared facility.

Woody Hammett, discussing student attitude toward the church, mid, "There Is a pronounced and clearly enunciated student distrust of the institutional church." The parable of the Good Samaritan summarizes what many students think of the chur ch- that It is passing by the needy, the Baptist chaplain siad. Many student feel the church "hasn't lived up to man's total needs." Students 'cirticize hypocrisy in the church, but "anytime you have humans you have hypocrisy," he said. "There is hvocrisv in the church, hypocrisy in politics, hypocrisy in the university." "I wish I could think the church had all the hypocrisy in the world tied up in one package, because if it did, it could throw it out," he added. Hammett says his responsibility as a campus chaplain is "to mirlister to the total university, non-Baptist and non-students in cluded." '.My biggest problem is in terpreting to the students what I am as a campus minister and what our Baptist work is trying to be on this campus," he continued.

Some are saying religion is old fashioned or not up with the times, as a Catholic coed who stated, "Most religions are focused on the wrong aspects and situations of this age. Social problems and person-to-person relationships should be considered as well as Person-to-established-church relationships." Senior Greg Smith said, "Religion is more concerned with condemning than solving man's problems." A Baptist student agreed, "Religion doesn't really confront modern Issues in their proper contest." Advertising major R. Byars feels "Churches are allowed to influence state progress (open bars, betting) and dictate what is right and wrong." He said these decisions are not left up to one's own conscience. A Luthern student pointed out that while religion is generally "in tune" with the interests of college students, "The surface features have caused concern for many." About half the students in terviewed expressed favorable opinions about religion and the church, and indicated religion was indeed significant and meaningful to them. check when it's if South Carolina tt First National. my amount you of personaized C insignia. u on. rs mIin An education mnoor 1Jd.
