Center sets spiritual fest Group believes all religions are on even footing The Smiling Forehead Sufi Center is sponsoring a “One in the Spirit Festival” in the EMU Ballroom Saturday from noon to 10 p.m. If the only thing that made sense to you in the former sentence was “EMU Ballroom,” try this: There is a group of persons in Eugene who practice Sufism, and believe that all religions are equally valid, and, although persons believe in different "messengers,” ’the spirit and message is basically the same. The Sufi feels that it is his goal to realize unity in his daily life. The “One in the Spirit Festival” is to be a celebration of this unity through the bringing together of persons and groups that are into varied ways of seeking spiritual awareness. Listed here are the events and workshops that will be taking place and the groups that will be represented. Exact times will be posted in the EMU. Organizers of the festival encourage persons to come and not only talk with the followers of these different paths, but also become participants in the workshops, dancing and ac tivities, in order to make it truly a festival of unity. A $1 donation is asked for admission to the festival. All proceeds from the event will be used by the Sufi Center and also a spiritual journal entitled One in the Spirit, published by Alankara Distributing Society of the North west, a non-profit organization. The journal contains art, poetry and articles on music, astrology, spiritual teachers and the role of women in religion.

Theobald, a futurist, analyzes trends in society and forecasts their possible outcome and he says, “We have little time left to create a society in which we would want to live.” Speaking at a press conference at the Eugene Hotel Thursday morning, Theobald told of his challenge fa people to reverse trends of increasing unemployment and inflation. “We have to feel a com mitment to finding ways to change,” he said. “We need to have an understanding fa the system and a com mitment from people to not ask fa so much,” Theobald said, “I’m looking fa volunteerism in the sense of gaining a stronger community spirit.” Theobald, a masters graduate of the economics programs at Cambridge and Harvard, waks fa the Nathwest Regional Foun dation, which is an outgrowth of the environmental symposium series at Expo 74. “The Nathwest is one of the few places left where there is some trust,” Theobald said, “Few places enjoy a cooperation between their institutions to improve their society. Finding a method of cooperation is the key change needed in our society.” Theobald feels the changes must come on the community level because of the failure of the federal government to be able to help out cities. “Our next election could be disastrous because ue’re not discussing the key issues,” Theobald said. “Politicians are looking at elections in terms of the numbers of voters who won't vote fa them. They figure the mae vague they are about discussing issues, the fewer the voters who won’t vote fa them." Theobald says that even though many people are dissatisfied, people do not act because they feel they are unable to do anything. “We don’t have apathy,” Theobald said. “We have a very high level of frustration.” Ever Bee has gotten it all together for a bike lock that combines convenience with case-hardened steel security.
