"Networking" is the key to making
college life a positive experience for
students said Greg Perry.
Involving new students resident
assistants dorm directors faculty
members class officers up-
perclassmen and other concerned
organizations in a network to en
courage each other is a goal of Perry
and Reg Cot assistant directors of
student life this semester.
Perry said they would like for this
network to help students who are
having a difficult time adjusting
having problems with classes or just
need a little encouragement.
One way this is being ac-
complished is through facultystu-
dent dinners
About 16 faculty members and
their families have agreed to host a '
imeal for dorm RAs and various stu-
dents. The dinner is designed to provide
fellowship as well as a home-cooked
meal for students while they are
away from home Perry said. The
dinner gives students a family to
turn to when having difficulties.
Freshmen are the main target for
the dinners but other students also
will be included he said.
The dinners are scheduled four
times in the fall and four times in
the spring.
Another program being im-
plemented is a counseling system in
which Perry and Cox are involved.
Perry will work mainly with the
sophomores and seniors. He will
help and advise RAs about students
on their particular halls.
"It is easier to get in touch with
those who are in touch" Perry said.
Cox will do the same with the
freshmen and juniors.
These students would include
freshmen who are far from home
transfer students and anyone else
having problems with the transi-
tion Perry said.
Cox and Perry will stay with the
assigned class until that class gradu-
ates. They will then alternate and
work with the next group of
freshmen.
"It's a good working relationship
because we're not the administra-
tion but we are older than the stu-
dents" Perry said.
A third program being discussed
is a way to encourage students to
get involved in church activities.
"We would like to build ties to
make students realize they are still
wanted in church" he said.
Small-group Bible studies and
evangelistic outreach would be in-
cluded in this program.
"Some of the students just need
individual attention and they
deserve that from us" Perry said.
If a student is looking for this
kind of assistance or knows someone
who does call Perry at Ext. 2772 or
Cox at Ext. 2784.

Hoover writes on patriotism
By JONATHAN WITT
Editorial Pag Editor
Dr. Arlie Hoover professor in the
History Department published
three articles this summer dealing
with Germany's religious national-
ism in wars such as World War I
and the dangers of religious nation-
alism for Christians today.
"Ever since the rise of the nation-state
the Christian has had the
Eroblem of relating his patriotism
is love of a particular nation to his
Christian faith which affirms in
bold terms the dignity and worth of
all humans" Hoover wrote in an
article published in the 1987 Resto-
ration Quarterly's second issue.
In this article and in two others
published in Canadian Review of
Studies in Nationalism and History
of European Ideas Hoover explains

Come
how the German clergy saw their
nation's citizens as a chosen people
and considered nationalism a wor-
thy cause for which to fight.
He quotes the World War I Ger-
man clergyman Otto Dibelius:
"Whoever fights for his nationali-
ty and offers everything for this na-
tionality fulfills God's command ....
Anyone who tries to promote inter-
national culture at the expense of
the nation is guilty of treason
against mankind."
Hoover said that Dibelius' view
was common to the Germany of
that age and squelched social
pluralism putting the German Jews
in a bad position in later years.
"I'm not recommending that the
clergy were for the Holocaust but
they helped create the proper
climate" Hoover said.

his three articles is the danger of
religious nationalism which the
United States must guard against.
"We have a brand of religious na-
tionalism that could become dan-
gerous" Hoover said. "We believe
we are a chosen people."
He said the danger of religious
nationalism is that it ties the perfect
doctrine of Christianity with a na-
tional doctrine that could turn sour.
"It's all right to be patriotic"
Hoover said "but you shouldn't
blind your Christianity with it."
The ACU Research Council
made three grants to Hoover to fi-
nance his research trips to Europe.
Hoover has been invited back to
Oxford England next summer to
present a paper at an international
conference on the Holocaust with
Germany's religious nationalism at
the core of his presentation he said.

students had participated in Sum-
merstage in past years but for
many this summer was a first for
them.

form in Summerstage; there was no
pressure from studying" said Gayla
Hester Junior history major from
Nashville Tenn.
Hester was participating in Sum-
merstage for the first time and call-
