Other become seriously inter ested in religion for the first time in their lives. The great majority do not ex perience either kind of religious crisis apostasy or conversion. They spend their college years in "religious hibernation" and just don't think about God. This picture of college stud ents is painted in two new re ports one by a Protestant minister, the other by a Catho lic priest. The Protestant minister is the Rev. Dr. William E. Hordern of Garrett Theological Seminary, Evanston, 111. He visited 10 cam- Russia May Have Entire Year Alone For Space Flights K) d8 Bv ALVIN B. WEBB JR. CAPE CANAVERAL UPI -The United States stands a bet ter than even chance of having to wait another 16 months or longer before it can send more astronauts into space. This means the Soviet Union, which would hardly be expected to stand idly by amid such a golden opportunity, might have all to itself the entire year of 1964 to build an impressive and perhaps insurmountable lead in the race for man's conquest of space. And it could mean a major shakeup in America's manned space flight programs particu larly its expensive, time - con suming and thus far fruitless Project Gemini in the next six to twelve months. Gemini, billed as the "follow on" to the jamed Project Mer cury, is supposed to send two man teams of U.S. astronauts into orbit around earth for a variety of long duration flights that also would perform some key tests in linking space ships together. But Project Gemini may de velop death rattles even as it is painfully born. Congress could well see to that when, next Jan uary, it starts comparing ex penses with results and takes note of the following items: Date Was Postponed The first manned flight in Project Gemini originally was set for late 1963. That already has slipped to October, 1964, and it is an odds-on favorite to skid all the way into 1965. Since the Mercury program was axed, that would mean no U.S. man ned soace flights next year. This, in turn, means the Gemini program may be run- nine sauare into the rear end of the first earth orbit flight of the three-man Apollo space ships now set for late 1965. Congress may question the value of run ning such a litlle-and-late proj ect like the Gemini alongside the the Apollo program that has more important goal ot landing men on the moon. Gemini looks suspiciously like a "dead-end" program. The federal space agency, which once proposed using the ballistic capsules as shuttles to and from manned space stations, is now looking at entirely new pro posals, such as space gliders and so-called "lifting bodies" for such futuristic tasks. Cools Toward Gemini The Air Force, and to a less er extent the Defense depart ment, has suddenly developed a cooling in its recent passion for a chunk of Project Gemini. That last point could be come the killer for Gemini and the pivotal point for a realign ment ot the nation's manned space programs. The National Aeronautics and Space administration has been interested for some time in di vesting itself of at least a part of the Gemini program and the corresponding expense. NASA thought it had a taker early this year when it came to vague sort of agreement to let the Air Force come in as a part ner. But eight months have passed and the Air Force-NASA agree ment looks like so much more paper work. Now, inform e d sources say, the Air Force ! wants to keep it that way. I There Is a reason. The mum- ! tude of problems and slipping schedules engulfing Gemini pre sent the Air Force with an open ing to push its own manned space flight program, Project I Dyna-Soar or X20. to a succoss- ; ful conclusion within t n r e e years. Off and On Situation Dyna-Soar is a winged glider vehicle which would give it's as tronaut a fair degree of control over where he would land. The Air Force has been proposing it off and on for six years or more but had trouble getting it out of the "paper project" stage. Early this year after the Air Force-NASA agreement on Proj ect Gemini, it appeared that Dyna-Soar was dead for good and certain. Only the official word from Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara was need ed to make it so. That word never came. Motvia mara, who had been dead-set against the Dyna-Soar, appar ently changed his mind some time during a tour earlier this year to the Boeing Co. at Se attle, Wash., where the Dyna Soar is being built, and then on to Gemini headquarters at Hous ton, Tex. McDonnell Aircraft of St. Louis, Mo., holds the Gemini contract. The defense secretary report edly was impressed by what he saw at Boeing. He was consider ably less than impressed at Houston. And the result may be that Dyna-Soar will live and Gemini its problems, slipping sched ules and millions of dollars in money already spent is head ed for the drain. puses and interviewed students from six otbers.,His findings are being published jointly by three leading denominational maga zines -the Lutheran, the Epis copalian and Presbyterian Life. The Catholic priest is Fr. Richard Bulled, 0. P., national: chaplain of the Newman Apos tolatc which operates centers for Catholic students at about 200 colleges and universities. H i s book, "God on the Secular Cam pus," was published this month by Doubleday. Generalize Too Much Both clergymen warn that it is perilous to generalize too much about religion on the cam pus. Some colleges seem to pro vide a far more hospitable cli mate -for faith than others. And in any one institution, there will be a great diversity of attitudes. Dr. Hordern says the fear often expressed by parents and pastors that young people rear ed in religious homes will turn into atheists in college is borne out by a "small proportion" of students. But he was told by faculty and administration peo ple that "today there are more students who find a meaningful faith on the campus than lose it." Fr. Butler adds that many pf takes the form of a rather snide students, even if those beliefs n.sparagejnent oi religion, rro- happen to be lareelv neealive urn I .. . " " it is up to the churches, the Catholic priest says, to "assume fessorial sneers at religion are heard in denominational colleg es as well as in secular institu tions. Don't Do the Job Fr. Butler says that state uni versities and other tax-supported institutions cannot properly be asked to inculcate religious faith, bui they do emphatically have an obligation to be genuin ely neutral. And often they are not. Instead, they engage in "positive indoctrination" of stu dents in the dogmas of secular humanism,, which hdlds "that man himself is the ultimate value in life and he is confined to a material universe which produces him and eventually destroys him." "There is a tragic irony in the present situation when secular educators are warned not to in ject religious beliefs or opinions into their teaching and yet are free to propose and propagate an irreligious view of life," says Dr. Butler. , He addds that ''more intelli gent" students who have had a good background of religious ed ucation before coming to college I may see through the professor who tries to peddle his own phil- the students - who renounce msophical opinions along with religion in college "are weak In1 his course in literature or his- faith and morals when they ar rive, if not altogether nominal in their church affiliations." Although- neither of them holds colleges solely responsible for the religious apathy display ed by many sludents1 Dr. Hor dern and Fr. Butler agree that some faculty mombcrs go out out of their way to shake what tory. But the average under graduate is vulnerable to "brain-washing" by teachers who cither have a personal aiv tagonism toward religion, or who "delight in the destruction of traditional ideas and values Can Help Problem College administrators can re lieve the problem, Fr. Butler ever faith they may encounter ' says, in two ways: .(1) By "co in the young people who attend their classes. Faculty hostility toward relU gion, Dr.. Hordern says, "some times takes the form of an open attack upon specific religious beliefs, but more frequently it operating with the churches in providing for religious educa- tion"; and 12) By making it plain to faculty members that academic freedom docsn t give them the right to foist their own religious beliefs on their me principal responsibility to teach their particular doctrines" to college students, thrnnnh well - located and well - staffed campus religious centers. Although major denomina tions have been slowly awaken ing to this resDonsibilitv. Fr. Butler notes that there is still only one priest usually part time to every 3,227 Catholic stu dents" in secular colleges, and "adequate" Catholic centers have been provided for only one sixth of the campuses where they are needed. "From my limited exper ience." says Fr. Butler, "I would say that Protestants and Jews are working under even greater handicaps in these es sential matters of facilities and personnel." 0! 181 DIET BREAD Union Officials Sued by Members PORTLAND (UPD-Six mem bers of Portland I-ocal 1885 of the International Association of Machinists Wednesday ued eight union officials for $360, 000.
