University and the community.
The Wesley Foundation is now part of the United Ministries in Higher Education, encompassing the religious and educational activities and programs of four churches: the Methodist Church (Wesley Foundation), the United Presbyterian Church, the United Church of Christ (Congregationalists) and the Church of Christ or the Disciples of Christ.
"This is all part of our trying to view the presence of the church on campus in a different light," said Don Baldwin, one of the coordinators of the program.
Baldwin said the major focus of UMHE would be on working
the furtherance of higher education, and involving ourselves in other issues rather than only concentrating on religious issues,"

Three Arrests Made in Strike Incidents
The president of an Overland Park plastics firm and two of his employees were arrested by the Overland Park police over the weekend in connection with several incidents involving picketers at the firm's plant, according to Norman Forer, assistant professor of social welfare.
C. M. Moore, owner and president of C. M. Moore Plastics Co., was arrested Saturday on an assault charge, said Forer. The charge was fled by Steve Saylors, a brother of one of the women striking Moore Plastics, who accused Moore of threatening him with a pistol.
Jim Milligan, Prairie Village junior, filed charges after he was allegedly struck by a car driven by an employee at the Moore plant Friday. Milligan was uninjured. The unnamed employee
was arrested Saturday on charges of reckless driving, said Forer.
Another employee was arrested Friday at the Moore plant for throwing rocks at picketers, said Bill Black, Kansas City, Mo., junior.
According to Forer, those arrested have been released on an undisclosed amount of bond.
Methodist Church in recent times, and not the UMHE, had had to look more to human needs, more to the questions of race, war, peace and the black revolution.
"Our scope of activities had been different things at different times," he said. "When the Wesley Foundation came into being the first idea was that it should be a home away from home for the Methodist students attending the University. It was a center where the students could engage in fellowship activities."
The outlook has changed over the years, he said. Apart from working with the students, his group is now looking for ways to help the University to help the students.
