Bevacqua of Trumbull said he is pleased the university has been able to wean itself from the Professors World Peace Academy, which gets its money from the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church. "I was very much concerned about it. There were some suggestions that there would be an attempt to influence curriculum and student mindset at the time. That obviously never materialized," he said. Bevacqua said Salonen has done an admirable job to restore UB to its former prominence and go in new directions with programs such as chiropractic and naturopathic medicine. Bevacqua said he's also pleased that UB is gaining support in the Bridgeport-area community. He cited former People's Bank President David A.E. Carson's recent matching-gift challenge as an example. Both the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and Connecticut's Board of Gover- nors of Higher Education want UB to supply a financial and enrollment report by Dec. 15, outlin- ing enrollment projects, donor support and plans to generate revenue by selling unused campus buildings. By the spring of 2007, UB is asked to submit a report that details the university's financial sta- bility, relationship to the Professors World Peace Academy and its debt and related convenants. "We just want them to corroborate what they say they're doing," said Jonas Zdanys, an associ- ate commissioner of higher education. "It looks a whole lot better than it used to," added Commis- sioner of Higher Education Valerie Lewis. The license UB received to start a doctoral program in computer sciences and engineering would make it the third in the state to offer such a program. Currently, such Ph.D. programs are offered only at Yale and the University of Connecticut in Storrs. UB officials say the program would build on its existing bachelor's and master's degree programs in computer science and engineering that in 2003enrolled 450 students. The program would enroll up to five full-time and four part-time students in the first year and as many as 25 full- and part-time students by its third year. The accreditation of the online bachelor's-degree program in dental hygiene would solidify a pro- gram UB has offered for two years. Meg Zayan, director of the program, said only 16 percent of dental hygiene students go beyond the required associate's degree. More would stay on for a bachelor's degree, putting them in line Give a for jobs in management or teaching, if it were more convenient. The online program would be offered worldwide and would not require students to set foot on Gift Subscription campus. The state board's unanimous approval follows the 10-year reaccreditation UB received to the recently from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

Lmartine Alvarez, pastor of a Haitian church in Nashville, Tennessee, asked me to hold a conference for his youth to guide them in preparing for their future. He has about 17 teenagers in his church. After he announced that I would be the main speaker, many parents wanted to participate. RWhen I arrived at the church, I was very surprised to find about 35 peo- ple there. I lectured for about an hour, and we had questions about the spiritual world, Satan, and God's plan for humankind for over an hour. I told them that I could lecture about each one of those topics. In the begin- ning, I proposed to go there once a month. But they have asked me to come twice a month. A lot of people are very thirsty for the truth. So from now on I will teach them Divine Prin- ciple straightfor- wardly. After the con- ference everybody was very happy and asked me when I could come again. One parent said that if she had not come, she would have regret- ted it.O 12 Unification News June 2005 SFP Chicago Project at Florence Stout Park

DAY inin KoreaKorea from page 1 ing table. Mother held his arm as he lit each can- dle. Then Father offered a historic prayer. In the prayer he prayed concerning the dispensation- al history, explaining that when he was young the Christian culture was prepared to unite all cul- tures if it could receive God's son. Through a long course of indemnity, with great sorrow due to many delays, this day has finally come. Father prayed that the True Parents and True Family could restore and complete every condition and dream that was left unfilled by Adam's family. Father deeply thanked God for his love and encouraged God, reporting that all Blessed Families are now com- ing forward to fulfill the will of heaven. With incredible grace and heart, True Parents carefully bowed before God. It was so moving. Then True Parents took their positions behind the offering table. True Family members bowed, accompanied by the wives of the great saints. Then the blessed Second Generation bowed and then all the congregation. After that were the three primary nations, the continents, the repre- sentatives of the free world and communist world. Representatives of the Han and the Moon families bowed. Representatives of Judeo-Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism and Hinduism bowed. Then representatives of the free world and the communist world, the Abel and the Cain worlds, bowed. All these bows were offered to God in gratitude for True Parents and for all the blessings of cre- ation. Three cheers of "Mansei" were offered by Rev. Yoo. True Parents gave food to each family member and then distributed it to the whole con- gregation through Rev. Kwak and the second gen- eration.O 18 Unification News June 2005 Chicago’s Monthly ACLC Prayer Breakfast

by Rev. M. Jenkins

our years ago, 60 Interreligious and International Couples received the Blessing of our True Parents upon the completion of the historic 50 State Tour. This Blessing had great signifigance in Fhistory as it was the first Blessing of True Parents in which 95 % of the couples were from other faith tra- ditions. This was a very central founda- tion of Substance in history. This opened the way for the establishment of Cheon Il Guk which occured a few months later in 2001. Congratulations to the 60 couples. We celebrated with Archbishop Stallings and Sayomi and their two sons Shin Young and Young Pal and Rev. Jesse Edwards and his wife Tanya. Congratulations to all the great families of faith that laid the foundtion for the kingdom of god on earth.
