SURVIVAL CITY, Nev.,—-Sav

but the smashing nuclear blast
left unhurt men and women in

‘Effective Use’ Plans Made
For New Chapel at A&M
Plans have been made for the
“most effective use” of the chapel
to be built here soon. Construction
on the quarter-million dollar chapel
is due to get under way this fall
or early in 1956.
The Rev. Norman Anderson, head
of the religious education depart
ment, was named to head a com
mittee on the chapel and its use.
The committee named by Dr.
David H. Morgan, president of the
college, is composed of Dean of the
College J. P. Abbott; J. Gordon
Gay, secretary of the YMCA; J. B.
(Dick) Hervey, secretary of the
Association of Former Students.
Theo Lindig, a student from Hye
and president of the Inter-Faith
council and the Rev. R. L. Long
shore, president of the Association
of Religious Workers on the cam
pus, are ex-officio members of the
committee.
“This committee has been as
signed the responsibility of project
ing plans through which the chapel
will become as valuable an institu
tion on the college campus as pos
sible for the promotion of the spir
itual life of the college communi
ty,” said Anderson, who also is pas
tor of the A&M Presbyterian
church.
FSA Financing Chapel
Construction of the chapel will
be financed by the FSA. It will
occupy a tree-lined plot now va
cant in front of Morgan’s home.
It will include the chapel proper
which will seat about 200 persons,
a library, reception and confer
ence rooms, patio or garden and
administration office.
“It is only natural that in an
institution where exploration in the
field of science is so prominent as
it is at A&M, that there also would
be present on the campus an evi
dence of the deepening spiritual
i n sights that fi orfnally sh'duId resu 1L
from scientific study,” Anderson
said.
Recognition of Spirit
“The chapel will be an evidence
that while the college develops the
mind, it gives due recognition to
the place of the spirit. The chapel
should also become an institution
where students of all faiths can
find a common ground for fellow
ship in the things of the spirit
without sacrificing their personal
beliefs.”
“The deliberations of the com
mittee are at present in their early
stages and little has crystallized
with respect to a positive program.
However, it is the view of this com
mittee that whatever program is
developed for the chapel it should
not impinge upon the programs of
the local churches or of the YMCA
now serving the college. The com
mittee feels that there is at pres
ent on the campus an open field
for new work. It is in these areas
not now adequately covered that
the committee is exploring. In
these areas the chapel program
would not conflict with, but would
only supplement, the existing spir
itual programs sponsored by the
campus churches, the YMCA and
any other campus religious organi
zation.”
“In this way,” Anderson declar
ed, “the committee feels that the
program associated with the chapel
will be something new for our
campus, that the chapel program
shall make a significant contribu- non-sectarian and available to stu-
tion to the spiritual life of the dents of all religious faiths with
campus, and that it be completely equal privileges.”
