Presbyterians Scrutinize Dillard House

By GUY MENDES
Associate Editor
Dillard House and its sponsor, the
United Campus Ministry, may come under fire tonight from a committee of the
Presbyterian Synod, the statewide governing body of the Presbyterian Church.
The committee will conduct an annual review of the programs of the United
Campus Ministry which is made up of
the Christian Church-Disciple- s
of Christ,
the United Church of Christ, Presbyterians, United Presbyterians and the
National Lutheran Campus Ministry.

One of those programs Dillard House,
a cooperative living experiment for UK
students has drawn opposition from local Presbyterians as well as members
of other denominations, on the grounds
that it is immoral to have male and
female students living in the same house.

The church sessions (the governing
bodies of the local churches) of four
Lexington churches First Presbyterian,
Second Presbyterian, Hunter Presbyterian
and Maxwell Presbyterian have expressed to the Synod their opposition to

programs of the United Campus Ministry.
Rev. Ed Miller, the Presbyterian minister of the United Campus Ministry
said the controversy was based on "a
lack of understanding." He said the problem was in dealing with communication
with the local churches.
Rev. Miller said he did not expect
any "fireworks" at the meeting. "It's
hard for me to visualize the Synod's
committee putting a stop to any of our
programs. But It's possible that the committee could suggest to our local govern

ing board that we proceed in different
directions."
Dillard House, which was founded
last January, is presently inhabited by
14 students nine girls and five boys
who live without supervision in
one room and bath apartments.
They share the hallways, dining room,
television room, kitchen and living room.
