I'-'Ji Donnie Grimes goes over the heads of three oppo- nents to score in the Baptist Student Union vs. WNOE Radio Ducks basketball game, With the attention given to devils, pos- session and exorcists in movies, students had a chance to try some real fright at the campus Haunted House, put together by the Baptist Student Union. Each year, beginning the day before Halloween, students and the BSU staff turn the center into a haunt for ghosts, goblins, vampires, and their coffins. While not out to scare anyone, the BSU serves as a place for students to meet in a relaxed atmosphere. With a separate room serving as the center's library, students have the oppor- tunity to study or think in quiet. The BSU sponsored Religious Empha- sis Week, March 8-12. Rev. Joe Kite, pastor of Immanuel Bap- tist Church of Morgan City was the guest speaker each day. The Faith Singers, an original gospel group from Denham Springs, La, pre- sented a mini-concert in the fall.
