Chapel’s importance
September 17, 1995
To the Editor:
Please consider this: there are now many Moslem students at ISU.
Five times a day they offer prayers. It is difficult for anyone on campus
to find a quiet place to pray. One of the few places is the Memorial Union Chapel. It is used by Christians and Moslems alike.
The chapel is ideally situated just north of the cafeteria. Those who wish to pray before meals often just step into the chapel on their way
to the cafeteria line.
Also, hundreds of students have been married in this chapel. When
they visit the campus they stop in and remember their special day.
What will their reaction be to see this chapel turned into yet another office?
