Stan Dalton: "Why is there a need fOr a minister on campus?" ~ Ian Glass: "Where you have people, there is a need for the Christian Church to be present. Those who profess the Christian fai-” th are able to gather to- gether in organized or semi organized way to show their Christian faith. One of the roles of the Chap— lain is to provide some leadership in this whole process."

Dalton: "You are, like the Roman Catholic Priest, a representative of Christ in the community?"

Glass: "That's right." Dalton: "Is the Christian ‘able to be as such without the supervision of the minister or the priest?" Glass: VYes and no. He is in his own individual act- ions and in his own daily life but part of the life of a Christian is the de- sire to be with other Christians and to worship in a communal type of set— ting."

Dalton: "Is the communal gathering necessary for the perpituation of the Christian faith under the guidance of the minister‘ or the priest?"

we: "Yes- " * Dalton: "There is some con- flict among Christians as to what faith is: what do you understand faith to mean?"

Glass: "It's a very diffi- cult question to put into words. Faith is belief

in a God and in Jesus Christ who was God's media- tor..."

Dalton: "Do you make a dis- tinction between faith and knowledge?"

.Glass: "Yeah, well, faith

involves the knowledge about God and about Chri-

'st and what He has done."

Dalton: "Let me-put it this way. Once one ar- ticulates what faith is, -it then becomes knowledge and not faith; faith is then, logically and meto- physically impossible: in Order to maintain Christr ianity therefore, it is

' Class Meetings °

For some time, there has been an indication of a lack of understanding and perhaps an indifference as to the meaning and pur- pose of Class meetings.

It is the hope of student union that class spirit can be built by this media. Class meetings can also be a time to get together and form a unity as people grow together to form a grad— uating class that can say they knew each other and that they somehow had re— ached beyond a small clique and met new people and bond new friendships. At this point, we want to inform each class of their responsibilities to each other and to the class of their year. Each class

interesting points were made. He pointed out the facts that the Island gov— ernment would be admitting failure to close U.P.E.I., that the capitol invest— ment is too high to just liquidate the university, and that 400 - 500 people are drawing wages from the university. Let's look at this a little closer.
