What other group on campus allows the freedom of no membership requirements, is by and for students, and offers around the clock facilities and activities? The Baptist Student Union is more than just another group of religious kids .. . . It is only the people involved that makes it what it is . . . an affiliation that grows each semester. The Baptist Student Union, or BSU as it is more familiarly called, has become more than just a haven for students looking for a religious encounter during college. BSU is students affiliated also by persons seeking an outlet for energies which provide concert artists, speakers, films,.and organized activities for Henderson. Although BSU associates are led by a roundtable of officers, there is no set membership, and those interested may come only to the activities which interest them. Perhaps the most interesting factor of its make-up is that the BSU'ers go A game of volleyball lfar lefty is one activity that everyone can get in on the act. Leigh Thurman lleftj has fun with Mrs. Brookings, a patient at the Riverwood Nursing Home.The BSU GospelChohqabovejrehearsestor their concert at the Memphis National BSU Convenhon. by the name Greek, Independent, Athlete, White, Black, Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, and more, which makes for a well-rounded group of individuals who are looking for the security of affiliation. And that affiliation is rapidly growing by numbers each semester! Besides providing a Christian background, the BSU offers students the opportunity to relate with their peers and elders. Beachout, an informal program held three nights each week, fulfills this need. Bible study groups provides for religious instruction, and retreats throughout the year make the whole Christian outlook focus on unity. But the BSU also offers much to those who do not choose to participate in the weekly activities. The David Meece concert was a success for both BSU'ers and non BSU'ers. And the ever popular volleyball games at the BSU center are growing in participants all the time. The BSU Gospel Choir attained national recognition when it was invited to perform at the National Convention this spring in Memphis, as well as functions throughout the state. This year BSU'ers worked hard to raise money to send fellow students as Summer Missionaries. This summer HSU Summer Missionaries are in California and the Bahamas. There is a lot more to the BSU than just a center on Wilson Street for Bible Study. And it is more than just another group of religious kids. As the BSU'ers put it. . . BSU is for growing .. and the BSU is growing as fast as the people who are involved. BSUl19
