The Catholic services, which were offered to Otterbein students in the Coffee House last term, are no longer being held on campus. The masses are being held every Saturday at 4:00 in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Terry Canavan, 40 W. Holmes Street, Westerville. This week will be the fourth that the services have been held in the Canavan home. The couple offered their home because they like the Otterbein students and the warmth of their friendship. Mr. and Mrs. Canavan do not want the students to feel inhibited, just because the masses are held in someone's home instead of the Coffee House. The dress is casual for the services. Last term, the college administration told Father White, the Catholic Priest assigned by the Columbus diocese to work around the Westerville area, that the weekly masses could no longer be held in the Coffee House. There is a college rule which states that Otterbin College cannot allow any one denomination to hold services over another denomination. It cannot support any one denomination. There is simply not enough space and facilities to allow all of the 37 denominations represented by Otterbein students to hold services on campus each week.

After looking around, I was very interested in asking her about her many pieces of Japanese art. She explained that she had collected it while teaching in Japan. Her way of living has been greatly influenced by her years of work there, for example, the Japanese have no heat in their homes which explains why it was cool in her house. "It makes me feel more comfortable, that's all," Mrs. Frank remarked. Also, the Japanese have a great regard for physical fitness so Mrs. Frank walks every day over paths that she has measured and in the winter when it's too cold to go outside, she walks round and round in her house. At this time she showed me the grand piano which I had inquired about. It belonged to her hush0nd who played a great deal and was also associated with Otterbein College. "It's sad," she commented, "because {> don't play. When I have friends over, they play for me." It holds a Continued on , 3
