Students Cite Time Lack
For Center Vnfamiliarity
NOTE This is the second of
a three-part series on religion
The first article dealt with the
opinions of campus ministers
about the religious climate at
the University Today students
offer their ideas of religious
centers here Next week s story
will give a summary of the ser
vices of each center.
By BARBARA JO RIVERS
How well do you think the
religious centers on campus
meet the current needs and in
terests of the students'*
In a survey this week, stu
dents throughout the campus
offered their opinions
Most felt there was a serious
inability of the religious centers
to reach the students. Yet no
one proposed a solution
Three students, however,
suggested improvements
Any institution within a
University context that is to be
relevant to the interests and
needs of the students must ad
dress itself directly to a current
problem." Tom Poss. graduate
student in philosophy, said. He
cited the Vietnam teachings at
Westminster House three years
ago as an example of a religious
center meeting a current need.

APATHY CITED
Mike Howell, managing edi
tor of The Red and Black, stat
ed. "I think they're doing as
good a job as they can on this
campus with its attitudes He
said student apathy extends to
religion
Agreeing with Howell was
taa Agnew. 20-year-old broad
casting major from Atlanta,
who said, i don't think they
meet the interests of the stu
dents because most students
aren't interested in religion
Well, for my contact with
the religious centers on cam
pus. Linda Enloe. a senior in
psychology, remarked, i think
It |H8 been mut h Ol j fafC* I
really think religion is a person
al thing, and I think many of the
centers are try ing to make it a
mass communication kind of
thing by passing out booklets
and attacking you on the
street."
Others who are dissatislied
with the centers offered the fol
lowing opinions.

ters are made available to the
student People just pul reli
gion last Most students don't
lind the time to gel involved
unless it's on a social basis. I
think it's unfortunate, mar
keting major Stuart Kado
commented
Sandra Turner, a senior
from Atlanta, expressed an
experience common to many
UGA students when she be

Being an agnostic. I don't
go in for things like that." a
veterinary medicine student
replied to the question
i'm not too familiar with
them, and I think that’s the
case with most students,
said sophomore Joe Belew.
A lot of the centers are a lit
tle too radical. They try’ to
face up to the issues too
quickly They tend to alienate
a lot of students who feel inse
cure in college in the first
place, he added.

room and listen to music '
Dena Lastinger. freshman
from Dixie, stated. As much
as I'm aware, they don't do
enough for the students, ex
cept for the fact that they are
there for the student to go to
for vespers '
One drama major criticized
the centers publicity ' They
have (ailed to give any exten

concerning services rendered
At least, it s tailed to reach
