Dalton: "What you're saying really is that my point is, losing touch with the , Christian realtiy: and this is precisely our differ— ent conceptions of reality" Glass: "But Christianity is real life." ‘ " Dalton:"This is what I'm saying: Christianity is real life to you: whereas real life to me is the very antithesis of Christianity. 'How shall the twain meet? “" Shall we move on to some- thing else, nore peculiar vto you? ,

Glass:"Just before we do, what's the purpose of this' interview?"

.Dalton: "To inform the students as to who you are, what your views are on I Christianity, what you plan to do etc."

Glass: "I see."

Dalton: "There's another notion, the notion of the call, which I don't under- stand, personally: however, could-you explain to me what this call is to enter the ministry, how it oc- curred to you personally, etc.?”

Dalton: "What is the dif— ference between the "call" of t e minister and the "cal " of the politician?" Glass: "...or the brick— layer. or the call of the cafﬁﬁhter." , Dalton: "Surely these are not all "calls" of God." Glass: "I don't see why not." (Glass seems to be- lieve that regardless of what our function in life is, it can be in‘response to a call from God.)

'Dalton: "Could you tell me

what is called in the 'call'?"

Glassi "The life of the per- son is being called." Dalton! "Perhaps it could be summed up by what Ad— miral Holsey"of the United States navy said to a young officer on Guadal— canal during WW II:

"There are no great men, only great challenges, which ordinary man, like

UniVersity could influ— ence more Island students to come here, the number is finite. Why not exploit the much bigger market on the mainland. To make things even better, studemm from other provinces bring grants with them to help defray costs. This would greatly reduce the burden on the tax payers. The ideal situation, having smeone else pay for im— provements to U.P.E.I.

Last year President Baker stated that "the economy" is the reason for falling enrollment. That was true two years ago but isn't anymore. This university isn't losing students be— cause of "the economy".

It is losing students be- cause of the image of UPEI or should I say lack of image of UPEI. This place is unknown in most of Canada, and is destined to remain so unless something is done to alter the image. Sometimes it is wondered if the university officials veven realize the amount of promotion that is done by other universities. Maybe they feel promotion is undignified, but it is a proven fact that unless

a person knows that a place exists, that person can't consider going there. Perfect example is the tours ist situation of P.E.I. Several years of good pro- motion and the Island has a new industry. Why not

Glass:

you and me, must face."

"I think that's

a fair statement."

Daltgg: "Buker points to the same thing in his notion of I and Thou,

where one is "called" if you will, to respond to the address which is rooted

in the situation created by the I — Thou encounter." Glass: "Yes."

There was much more said by Glass which space does not here permit expression for. However, he expressed his pleasure at assuming his new duties here at U.P.E.I. '

Glass has been married for ten years,.has three children and is still an active participant in‘ community affairs. He is eager to become in- tegrated with this com— munity and, of course, meet and interact with as many students who might wish to contact him. For the time being, Glass will continue to follow in Hugh MacLean's (former chaplain) footsteps and make those changes where future demands indicate.
