Tom Thrasher of that church says that students make a good congregation. "You can be sure they are not forced to come to church," he said.

College students participate more actively in the service. They are the ones who sing the songs and take part in the service, Thrasher said. Catholics Father Wood, Catholic student priest, considers himself "under a mission to students." Although students attend Sunday mass at the local parish, there is a separate program for them here," he said.

"Politics and The American Conscience" and sexuality "Man and Woman" are subjects of a Wesley Sunday afternoon symposium planned for the fall.

Baptists The Baptist Student Union is presently spending $45,000 to renovate the old Kemp Plum-mer Battle home on Battle Lane into an international student area. It will also erect a modern student union building on the property within the next two years. BSU will be housed in the Battle home next year.

They helped with building a house for a Negro family in Carrboro last spring. This fall BSU will hold a series of lectures on cybernetics, the effect of automation on our society. The Episcopal Student Congregation worships as parish-oners of the Chapel of the Methodists The Wesley Foundation, the Methodist sponsored program, has recently constructed a $350,000 building on Pittsboro Street. Bob Johnson, Methodist campus pastor, says he feels that religion must express itself in the idiom of the day philosophically, artistically and musically. The modern architecture of their new building, indicative of these views.

The sanctuary of the square chapel was built in a pit, much like a basketball arena. arrangement of the chapel- will involve the congregation in the services as much as possible. Music ranging from Bach to Copland will flow from the new Schlicker baroque organ. A library of 2,000 books will be housed upstairs.

Philosopher Soren Kirke-gaard, novelist, Flannery O'Connor, and motion pictures like I a Bergman's By EDDIE ELLIS DTH Staff Writer Nearly half a million dollars will be spent on a minority of UNC students during i966. These are students who attend religious services and religious affiliated programs in Chapel Hill. There are 2,157 Methodists, 2,091 Baptists, 1,627 Presbyterians, 1,451 Episcopalians, 689 Roman Catholics, 341 Lutherans, 381 Jews and 605 students of other religions on campus, according to 1964 registration religious preference cards.

Less than half of these will ever attend religious services while at UNC. Less than 2,000 attend church or religious affiliated programs, according to estimates of local clergymen. Presbyterians Students who don't participate in religious activities in college are missing a chance to develop their own concept of religion," says Rev. Harry Smith, Presbyterian campus pastor. He thinks that religious groups should be campus oriented rather than denominational.

The Westminister Fellowship, the Presbyterian sponsored campus program, is housed in a $250,000 building which is five years old. They have held, in past years in cooperation with Baptist and Episcopal programs, a film forum. Six movies and discussion groups drew crowds of over 300 last year.

CARRBORO Erickson said that the seating demands of the students had to be taken care of before any tickets to outsiders could be sold. Consequently, basketball typically loses about $20,000 per year. Football, the only paying sport conducted by the Department of Athletics absorbs the losses of basketball and all other varsity sports.

If basketball can meet its own expenses in the future, it will be the only sport other than football to do so. Coach Joe Hilton said that the old office space in Woollen Gym would be converted to classrooms for physical education and for intramural offices after the new office space in Carmichael Auditorium was opened. The coaches' offices will be in the new building as will be the sports publicity office now housed in Fetzer Field House. Intramural director Bill By DALE WHITE DTII Staff Writer The huge steel and concrete structure to be named William Donald Carmichael, Jr. Auditorium is beginning to take final shape despite a long delay in building schedule.

The floor of the new auditorium, near Woollen Gymnasium, was ruined August 16 when an improperly connected water main broke and flooded the building with eight inches of water. The mishap delayed progress of the construction until a new floor could be layed. Construction of the domed auditorium was started in May 1964. Completion has been rescheduled for late this month. Seating capacity of the building will be 10,000 persons, making it the sixth largest building of its type in the state, ranking behind the Charlotte Coliseum, the N.

C. State auditorium, Greensboro Coliseum, Duke Indoor Stadium and the Winsfon Salem Coliseum. Erickson said that University planners decided to make the auditorium completely separate from the old Woollen Gym building so that more functions could be carried on simultaneously. "An intramural basketball game," he said, "could not very well be carried on at the same time that a speaker forum was being conducted, if both auditoriums were joined together into one larger structure." He said that only a thousand additional seats could have been added by expansion of the old To Aid Basketball University accountant Vernon Crook said he hopes that the building will be able to make home basketball games a profit making venture. For some years basketball has operated in the red, making money on the road trips and taking almost a total loss on home games.

Crook said the university should be able to make roughly $1,000 to $2,000 per home game with the new seating facilities. Two thirds of the seats will be stadium arm chairs. The resC will be foldout bleachers which can be Dushed back when the 24 by 40 foot hydraulic rising stage is in place. Air Conditioning Air conditioning ducts have been installed, but finances are not available at present to install the cooling unit. The auditorium is equipped with the most up-to-date ventilation system available.

There will be a constant, even flow of air at all times. The total cost of the building will be approximately UNC Athletic Director CP. Erickson said that the building was not going to be large enough to seat the expanding student body and that the University "will have to start planning for the future now." Plans to increase the seating capacity of the auditorium by double decking the seats, much Lke the second level of Kenan Stadium, were dropped as impractical. Johnson has expressed belief that the intramural program will be much improved by the new facilities. Crowell Utile Motor Co.
