Religion forum addresses diversity, spiritual views
By Patricia Rojas
Kansan staff writer
It was not a proclamation of righteousness. Rather it was a call for understanding.
About 30 students gathered yesterday in Ellsworth Hall to attend a religion forum.
Sandy Fletcher, resident assistant at Ellsworth, said the purpose of the event was to call attention to spiritual diversity on campus.
Dennis Jenkins, campus director for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was one of three panelists at the religion forum.
A three-member panel explained
themes and traditions of Judaism
and Christianity.
Mormons believe that Jesus Christ came to the United States, where he taught his gospel as he did in the Middle East.
Dennis Jenkins, campus director of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said members of his faith with the Bible and the Book of Mormon.
"We believe that these scriptures go together as testimony of Jesus Christ," Jenkins said.
Daveen Litwin, director of the Hillel House, said Jewish students on campus sometimes felt isolated.
"I think that Jewish students are often an invisible minority," she said. "I don't think it's out of hatred as much as it is lack of understanding and indifference. That's what these programs are for."
Mike Jordan, KU religion adviser,
said Christian students often thought
their teachers were challenging the
students' faith. Cources such as
Western Civilization sometimes
introduce mental confusion in students, he said.
"But that is good," Jordahl said.
"They have to think, and I'm in favor of thinking."
said he thought the discussion was very interesting and timely.
Eddie Novak, Chicago, Ill., junior.
Jordahl said courses that questioned religious beliefs often helped reinforce the students' faith.
With all the religious discussions stemming from the Persian Gulf War, it is important to understand spiritual diversity, he said.
Novak said the forum was a friendly discussion.
"It was a very objective view of religion," Novak said. "It wasn't a neated debate over who is right or wrong."

than just people interested in making money.
"Really we're a support group for people who want to learn more about what they can't learn in business school classes," he said.
Craig Noland, NCR district manager of finance and administration, said he thought donations of this type were a significant promotion and recruitment technique.
"We do a lot of recruiting here," he said. "This gift will increase awareness of NCR and hopefully attract the top graduates to our corporation."

Osborn was pleased with the dona-
"Anybody that knows anything about computers knows this is a damn good computer," he said.
Osborn said the computer would help the association print its monthly newsletter, maintain a database of students and staff, and extend its extensive correspondence.
Garry Tallman, NCR account manager of education and government, said the computer was known for its small size and speed.
"It's just speedy and small," Tallman said. "Otherwise, it's a standard PC."
The computer and color monitor are capable of supporting complex graphics software.
Osborn said membership in the association had increased dramatically in the last year.
