Much of the student religious interest at the University centers on the intellectual aspects of reli- gion. Nearly all of the student groups are concerned with the eli gious implications of world and local events. For example, many of the groups discussed last fall's events art Little Rock in the light of their religious beliefs and came to a better under- standing of the questions raised by the whole issue of segregation ver- sus integration. As a result of these discussions, a petition to the University pro- testing segregation in the dormi- tories was written by members of the Congregational and Disciples Guild and supported by members of the other religious groups. This led to the organization of a stu- dent committee which engaged in the study of discriminatory prac- tices at the University and brought the integration issue to the atten- tion of the whole campus. Understanding Broadened This is only one example of the activities and discussions with which members of student reli- gious organizations are concerned. Each group tries to broaden its student's understanding of his faith, how his beliefs apply to his daily living and provides him with the opportunity to discuss and thus clarify his views on political, social, economic and religious is- sues.} The majority of student reli- gious groups work closely with the local adult religious community. Such groups include the Roger Williams Guild connected with the First Baptist Church of Ann Ar- bor; the Congregational and Dis- ciples Guild sponsored jointly by the First Congregational Church and the Memorial Church; The Eastern Christian Orthodox NT GOVERNMENT RUN: dents Sell Used Books at SBX 4 By JUDY DONER tudent Book Exchange is a co- rative service operated by Stu- t Government Council. b provides University students lace to sell their used text books Sbuy others cheaply. when booksare sold, 1 per cent leducted from 'the proceeds to er advertising, wages and sup- s of the exchange.
