Ecumenical Student Meetings Include Speakers, Food,Fellowship
Posters on the campus announcing weekly meetings of the "Ecumenical Student Fellowship" are not attempts to exhort the student to attend the services of a new sect, rather they indicate the joint summer meetings of the fellowships of four Protestant denominations.
"The Ecumenical meeting," Rev. Robert Balch, pastor of the Lawrence Christian Church said, "enables the campus fellowships to combine forces in order to carry out a full program during the summer session." This device has been used for the past 12 summers and was originated by Dr. John H. Patton, professor of religion, and campus Presbyterian minister.
In addition to the Disciple fellowship of the Christian Church and the Westminster Fellowship of the Presbyterian Church, the Congregational and Baptist youth groups are represented in the Ecumenical program.
The meetings are conducted under the auspices of the KURA—the KU Religious advisers, who meet throughout the year to plan the religious activities of campus denominations.
Early each spring the advisers of the groups which are to participate in the Ecumenical program meet, with student representatives of the fellowships, to plan the summer program. Acting as a steering committee, the leaders make arrangements for a meeting place, determine the type of program for the summer and appoint the moderators for each of the meetings.
Meetings of the fellowship this summer are being held at the Westminster Foundation, 1221 Oread Street and feature a series of guest speakers. In past years, a number of different types of programs have been scheduled, including discussion groups and examples of personal experiences in religion.
Sunday Dr. Chun Pil Soon, president of the Presbyterian Churches of Korea, will speak on
The Present Situation in Korea." The meetings also include a light sunner, group singing and student-led devotions. Work assignments are distributed among the participating groups and according to Ron Minor, member of the Westminster Fellowship, "the organization seems to run itself."

The state of Georgia as originally constituted occupied much of the land now belonging to Alabama and Mississippi.
Watson Library has a collection of 60 books from Sweden on display in the first and second floor lobbies.
This traveling exhibition was sent out by the Royal Library of Stockholm in 1556 and is being exhibited in college and city libraries over the nation.
The Smithsonian Institute of Washington, D. C. is sponsoring the exhibition while it is in this country. The purpose of displaying the books in libraries is to show the standard of quality of modern Swedish book printing and graphic arts.
Several books included in the collection are by American authors in Swedish translations. A translation of Erskei Caldwell's "Georgia Boy" is among the 60 books. The illustrations for this book were drawn by Birger Lundquist and are used in many of the American translations.
