gene, Nov. 13. (Special.) A greater
number of university students are
taking a lively .Interest In religious
matters and a larger number are at
tending charch service In Eugene
than in the past, states the report of
the church co-operation- committee of
the Y. W. C. A. The- attitude of the
people in the state and the students
toward the university religious lite
was discussed.
As an example of what some people
think of the religious life of the uni
versity, an incident was related where
an eastern Oregon minister in the
course of his sermon declared that
there was no religious- life whatsoever
at the university. The committee has
dedicated itself to change these ideas,
co-operate more closely with the
downtown churches and help arouse
interest in the Bible study courses.
