B.S.U. Holds Dinner For Hard Workers After a year filled with service projects, de- votionals and discussions, Baptist Student Union members closed their activities with a spring banquet May 2. Throughout the year the members taught songs to 20 or 30 young children each week at the Christian Fellowship Center. At Christmas time the students hosted a party and presented gifts to the children at the Mexican Friendship Center. The annual Baptist Student Union Conven- tion drew a delegation from San Antonio College to the campus of Hardin-Simmons University where they were encouraged to plan their calendar of activities with a goal of advancing Christian growth among college students. To further brotherhood and understanding, Baptist Students attended interfaith meetings with the Catholic, Methodist, and Presbyterian groups around campus. At these meetings panel discussions on each group ' s observance of reli- gious events were held. During both semesters, morning watch serv- ices consisting of prayer, devotional, and singing were held before classes in the B.S.U. Center. Nineteen students traveled to the Highland Lakes Baptist Encampment for a Mid-Winter Re- treat. Delegates participated in Bible studies and devotionals. Later in the year, 15 officers and leaders of the Union attended the Leadership Training Conference at the Latham Spring Baptist Encampment where they exchanged ideas with del- egates from throughout the state. Boarding the bus are Herbert Dearing, Richard Tondre, Ralph Fritz, and Elizabeth Victery. Music and singing provided en- tertainment on their trips. 180

Catholics Rename Chapter Kappa Nii Establishing a new mark in the history of the Newman Club, members voted to name the SAC branch the Kappa Nu Chapter. Under the new name the club participated in two conventions and helped stage the Million- aires Ball. The State Convention of Newman Clubs was held at Victoria Junior College in Oc- tober, and the Southwest Province Meet was conducted in Corpus Christi, January 29 through February 2. Sixteen colleges and Universities were rep- resented at the State Convention sponsored by the Southern Texas Newman Club Association.
