8 Monday, May 7, 1973 University Daily Kansan Kansan Photo by DAN LAUING Episcopalian student center sponsors Folk Mass Eucharist Tuesday nights The Rev. C. F. 'Dutch' Stolz Leads Service Church Dilemma Seen By NANCY COOK and RUD HUFEMAN Kansan Staff Writers Church attendance in Lawrence by University of Kansas students is substantially less than it was 19 years ago, according to a lecturer in the Kansas School of Religion, even though the campus population has almost doubled. "I can't see how the traditional churches will revive themselves without major change," said Timothy Miller, the lecturer, in a recent interview. This creates a dilemma for the churches, Miller said. In order to attract members, churches need to change, he said, but if they are not able to allocate currently active members. But there is increased interest among students in learning about religion as opposed to actively participating in it, Miller said. REPORTS FROM University authorities, local churches and local student religious groups offer some support for Miller's contentions. The number of students enrolled for the spring semester has nearly doubled since 1982, according to the Office of the Registrar. At the same time, 13 local churches representing the major denominations report either a declining student population or no substantial growth. ONE OF THE largest local denominations, the United Methodist Church, reports a large decline among its parish priests last few years. Ronald Sandley, pastor of First United Methodist Church, says that 300 of 1,900 parish priests in his area is far less than in previous years, he said. However, some of the established churches have student centers, designed specifically to meet the needs of the University students. Student centers on the campus provide a place to hold religious services and for study and recreation. The three largest are the St. Lawrence Catholic Student Center, which sponsors Sunday Mass in Woodruff Auditorium; the University Lutheran and Student Center, which also sponsors Sunday services; and Canterbury House. Sponsored by the Episcopalian Church, Canterbury House has a Eucharist service THE BIG BUZZ! The Witnauer Wrist Alarm. Remind! Palm Alert! A gentle yet insistent buzz keeps you on schedule.

Lynn Taylor, dean of the School of Religion, said that enrollment in the school went from 290 students in the 1982-63 school to a high of 1,130 in the 1971-72 school. Enrollment is down about 200 this year, Taylor said, because of the decreased University enrollment and because two of the members of Religion's faculty are on sabbaticals. The most popular course at the school, Taylor said, is one entitled "The Life and Teachings of Jesus." The second most popular course is "Religion in American Culture," which comprises a course comprise about 65 per cent of the enrolment in the School of Religion. THERE IS an apparent contradiction between the declining participation in organized religious services and the increased reliance of Western religion, particularly Christian religion. This contradiction can be explained in part by a third aspect of the local religious scene,攻 hoc Christian groups. These groups, such as Campus Crusade for Christ, Missionaries of Christ and The Mustard Seed, seek to supplement the work of the organized churches. Other award winners include the recipients of the Frances Schlegel-Carruth Scholarship Susan Harris, Concordia freshman; Kristia Hetherington, Antoinette Perez, Pam Hayover, and Melissa Nabors, all Lawrence Freshmen.

The Caroline Spanger Scholarship was awarded to Jeffrey Lawrence, Lawrence freshman. These groups report consistently growing membership. Cecilia Raab, Kansas City, Kan., junior, is a participant in the Campus Crusade for RAAB SAID she became acquainted with the Campus Crusade when she was a teenager. She knew her father, her sister, and her brother. Campus Crusade had a table set up in Allen Field House, she said, and she stopped and talked to the students there. The students also said she began attending meetings, she said. Raab said that now, in addition to attending Catholic Mass and weekly Campus Crusade prayer groups, she also attends the church's study group that study ways to live a Christian life. OCASSIONALLY SHE has participated in evangelical work among students, she said. Raab said that during spring break this year she joined a local group of students who were doing evangelical work at Kansas State University. "The event (of finding Christ) is not a process, it's a lifestyle," said Dave Kellner. "You need to get involved." Kell is a member of the Navigators, a group similar in organization and aims to the Campus Crusade. His comments and the experiences related by him, Raab and others contrast sharply with the methods used by local churches. For one thing, the ad hoc groups recruit actively on campus, and student members themselves do the recruiting. This allows them to be more active, and they are actively working for Christ, they said. ALSO, ALL of the groups are divided into smaller groups of four or five. These groups, which meet weekly for study and discussion, will provide a sense of fellowship, members said. Their worship is far different from attending church once each week to listen to someone else's viewpoint on what Christianity means, they said. GOING HOME THIS SUMMER?
