Arts highlight church service
"This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it," the Psalmist said, and so did the Trinity Methodist congregation Wednesday night.
But that was only the beginning of another unique church service in the series of five devoted to exploring the arts and their relation to worship. This service, featuring modern dance, poetry and folk music, was entitled "Leaping for Joy."
Members of Tau Sigma, honorary dance fraternity at KU, led the dance part of the service. Their interpretations were of poems—"God's Grandeur" by Gerard Manley Hopkins and "I Thank Thee God" by E. E. Cummings—and an act of praise entitled "Lord of the Dance," sung by Dennis Swartz of Lawrence. The dancers were under the direction of Elizabeth Sherbon.
As the title of the service indicated, the dancers were "leaping for joy" as Christians should do, the Rev. Tom Emswiler said.
The songs sung during the service by the children's choir and congregation combined, "Clap Your Hands" and "The Strife Is O'er," were accompanied on guitars by Sister Regina Joseph, Tony Gowan and Mrs. Jack Brooking, all from the Roman Catholic Church in Lawrence.
The latter song was sung during another unique part of the service—the offertory. At this time, while singing, the congregation passed by the offering plate as a symbol of this moving joy.
KU begins cooperation
Cooperation in graduate programs and research activities between the University of Kansas, Mount St. Scholastica and St. Benedict's Colleges has begun, said George R. Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
KU and the two Atchison colleges will try to work together on research assistants, staffing and facilities such as KU's Intensive English department, the East
J. A. Burzle, associate dean of the College and professor of German, has been appointed liaison officer between KU and the Atchison colleges.
Asian and Slavic centers, and the research libraries and centers, Waggoner said.
Burzle said he and Evan J. Taylor, coordinator from the Atchison colleges, will meet soon to set up a program to utilize this cooperation.
The possibility of bringing the Jefferson Airplane, nationally known singing group, to Lawrence was discussed at the interhall social council's first meeting held Tuesday night in McCollum Hall.
Composed of social chairmen from scholarship halls and men and upper-class women residence halls, the council was established
'Jefferson Airplane' may come here
to find ways to serve the residence and scholarship halls financially and socially.
"Our main function is to promote understanding between residence halls," Dave Wilson, Shawnee Mission junior and social chairman of Templin Hall, said.
The council discussed the possibility of inviting big name bands to Lawrence.
"The Student Union Activities has only two big concerts a year. We feel there is a need to bring more big-name talent to KU." Wilson said.
The council also discussed the feasibility of raising the residence hall contract application fee from $12.50 to $15 to give the residence halls more money to "socially educate" the residents.
