On the field the band goes
into the formation of the stand

lovely queens and their hand
some escorts stand. Such an
array of colors the eyes so sel
dom behold. Then, the an
nouncer’s voice. Down they
walk — the class queens, the
fraternity queens, the attendants
to Miss Clark. They take their
place in front of Miss Clark’s
elaborate float. She’s on the
field now — Miss Clark —
everybody’s queen. Then we
sing the Alma Mater. Every
one’s jubilant for we’re win

Father Malcolm Boyd, Episcopal priest and author of the best
selling book Are You Running With Me, Jesus? visited Clark on
November 4, 1966.

the Peace,” the “Expresso Priest,” and “Chaplain-at-large to
Religious Life Group Starts New Programs
The Religious program of
Clark College started this school
year with the celebration of
Holy Communion on October 2,
1966. The Tuesday Morning
Worship services at 11 o’clock
have featured such speakers as
the Reverends Homer McEwen,
M. J. Wynn, and James Costen,
among others. One feature of
the Tuesday Morning Worship
was a interpretence dance by
Marcia Jackson which centered
around “Man’s Reconciliation to
God.”
Among the organizations, the
Y.M. & Y.W.C.A.’s already
have started their groups func
tioning with many new and in
spiring programs. The Free
Thinkers have met three or four
times with programs centered
around two book reviews: The
Autobiography of Malcolm X
and Huxley’s Brave New World.
The Free Thinkers meet each
Friday night at 6:30 o’clock in
Lower Kresge Lounge. The girls
in Pfeiffer Hall are presenting
a Sunday Morning discussion
group each third Sunday on vi
tal themes. Their first discussion
in October was on the book,
The Secular City by Harvey
Cox.
We hope to build up the at
tendance at the Tuesday night
prayer services. These services
were changed from Wednesday
night at 7 o’clock in Davage
Auditorium, to Tuesday at 7 in
Davage. The prayer services are
carried on by the various or
ganizations on the campus.
Already one highlight of the
Religious Life program on the
campus “happened” on Friday,
November 4. Father Malcolm
Boyd, called by many “The
Coffee House Priest,” spoke to
our academic community. He
did much to stimulate thought;
he was enjoyed by all who heard
him.
The next guest speaker we
will have is Dr. Joseph Wash
ington, author of the controver
sial best-seller, Black Religion.
Dr. Washington visited Clark on
Tuesday, November 29, 1966,
at 11 o’clock a.m. in Davage
Auditorium, and at 7 o’clock
p.m. in Lower Kresge Lounge.
During the rest of the semes
ter we plan to do more in ex
perimental Drama and Dance.
We also plan more provocative
discussions.

U.S. college students,” expound
ed on his views on the roll of
the church today and reacted
to the many questions put to
him by an attentive audience.
Father Boyd is a man vitally
concerned with the shape of the
world as it is today and the peo
ple who will help build tomor
row’s world. He feels that the
church, which has at times been
lax in its responsibility, must be
come more involved with the
world and provide the spiritual
leadership the world needs. He
asserts that the church and the
clergy must make adjustments
in order to adapt itself to the
changing world.
Father Boyd’s comments
brought about widespread re
actions among those in attend
ance. The college minister, Rev.
Johathan Jackson, said that
Rev. Boyd produced a desirable
“shock” effect upon the assem
bly. This, he said, was good,
because it makes people think.
During his life, Malcolm
Boyd has engaged in many ac
tivities. Prior to his ordination
into the ministry in 1955, he
was a television producer, an
advertising man, a playwrite, a
film critic and the author of
seven other books. He has
served as Chaplain of Colorado
State University and Wayne
State University.
