They point out the danger that church-related schools face when they accept government a i tance. "Thur day. June 13. 1968 - Dr. J . M. Powell. pre ident of Ohio Valley College here, di clo ed la t night that the U. S. Government ha advised the college that it can no longer use its new auditoriun1 for chapel services or even for Bible cla e because the auditoriun1 wa financed in part by a federal grant. ·we·ve been in tructed not to u e the chapel anymore for either chapel or the Bible cla ses, Powell com– mented. 'A I under tand it under the interpretation we're not even pern1itted to ay a prayer or mention God in that auditorium!' Powell said ' 'We have two alternative . Either we mu t rai e $76 000 the federal govern– n1ent demand before they'll relea e the building for our u e for any purpo e we want to u e it for, even for uch a terrible purpo e in the eye of the federal government - a wor hipping God or recognizing Hi exi tence, or we mu t raise enough money to build a new chapel building b) eptember .' Powe ll aid h conferred by phone ye terday with a Dr. nowberger, of the . . Office of Education. ' I told h1n1 th at it i our intention, it ~ e can ra1 e the n1oney, to repay the governn1ent, and that \\e hope to be able t do thi before ot1r fall tern, tart s. so th,1t \i\e cc111 tie the auditoril1n1 for the pl1rpo e for \Vhich it "'a intended.' ·1 al o n1entioned to Dr. now- berger: Powell aid ' 'that there i the po ~ibility that we n1a 1~ not be ab]e to rai e the entire $76.000 before ept. . and I a ked him if we could get an extention of time for a few \\ eek . or even for a few day , in repayi ng the money. D r. nowberger aid he couldn!t even give u one extra day' ! He told n1e that we v.1ould be violating the law if on ju t one day we had a prayer in that bui]ding. Apparent ly that i the conclu ion that ha been reached in Wa hington!' 'A I under tand the federa l govern– n1ent· pre ent po ition.'
