Spiritual Influences: Places Where Students Can Gather When students first move onto campus, they try to make friends and to find out about the different organizations. Many students pledge various sororities and fra- ternities, while others seek to join a religious organization. Religion is a very controversial issue these days because there are so many different denominations. Pem- broke State University has sever- al religious groups on campus. One of these groups is the Bap- tist Student Union, which holds its events at the House across from the Performing Arts Center. This group is open to all students. The BSU has a part-time campus min- ister, Gina Roberts, and a student committee. The BSU offers a wide variety of activities for stu- dents on campus. For all commu- ters as well as others, a Commu- ter ' s Lunch was held on Wednes- days from 12:30 to 1:30. Tues- day nights at 7:00, the Gathering I brought together outside speak- ers and bands; Thursday nights at 6:00, a Bible study was held. As Curtis Holloman, president, stat- ed, The House is a place of com- munity, family, and where the true lifestyle of Christ is shared. The House is a place where stu- dents could go to relax, study, watch television, or cook. Another group hoping to at- tract students was the Catholic Campus Ministry. Sister Margaret Gallagher was available to all stu- dents from 4 to 7 every Tuesday in the campus ministry office of North Hall. According to Sister Margaret, there are only 23 Cath- olic students. Therefore, her goal was simply to meet as many stu- dents on campus and to find out ■ what their needs were. She of- fered help to all students, If there are Catholic students who would like to come in, I am here to listen and support them in any way I can. This is not limited to Catholic students. Other groups that were trying to organize on campus were the King Pentecostal Fellowship and the Campus Crusade for Christ. For students who wanted to go to church on Sunday, the First Baptist Church in Lumberton pro- vided a van to pick them up and take them to church. Ivan Davis, who was the assistant to the pas- tor, said the service is offered as an outreach ministry for our church to offer students a com- fortable worship setting. PSU had a variety of religious groups and services to offer the students. There were also some organizations that were trying to attract students and others which were still getting organized. These organizations desired to work with all the students in order to help them with their problems and to meet their needs. A comfortable and warm setting makes the House Inviting to all students.
