MEMBER'S HOTLINE
WORLDWIDEEDITION
NEWS SUMMARY BECOMES "MEMBER'S HOTLINE"
"The Worldwide Church of God NEWS SUMMARY" has now been renamed "The
Worldwide Church of God MEMBER'S HOTLINE." Actually, the MEMBER'S HOTLINE
is a summary of special late-breaking news in God's Work which would nor
mally be announced from the pulpit each week� Thus this publication, in
tended to be made available to heads of households in God's Church, allows
our ministers more time for their sermons. Primarily, this publication
has contained news updates concerning various aspects of the State of
California's attack on God's Church. However, often other Church and
College news from the Pastor's Report which should get to the brethren
quickly is also sununarized and included in the MEMBER'S HOTLINE.

MR. ARMSTRONG MAKES FURTHER CHANGES IN THE COLLEGE
Deputy Chancellor Raymond F. McNair informed the ministry that twenty-three
members of the College administration and faculty had visited Mr. Armstrong
in his home
in
Tucson. Commenting about the visit in the June 18 Pastor's
Report, Mr. McNair said Mr. Armstrong encouraged and instructed the group
to maintain God's way in the college.
"During our visit," said Mr. McNair, "Mr. Armstrong told us that he has
come to realize that 'higher' degrees from this world's institutions have
been detrimental to many of our faculty. For this reason, we are no longer
requiring our faculty /as did the former administration/ to go 'outside'
for degrees. In fact,-the college will no longer subs1dize any 'higher'
degrees from this world's colleges and universities."
Mr. McNair also mentioned that in order for next year's students to receive
a maximum of guidance and supervision from the faculty and administration,
all undergraduate single students will be required to live on campus be
ginning next fall. Also, dual enrollment with other colleges and univer
sities will be prohibited. "We feel that this will not only greatly
enhance the unity of Ambassador's student body, but will also better enable
students to participate fully in college activities," conunented the deputy
