Fhrb-1 BSU Promotes Social Activities The only religious club on campus, the Baptist Student Union, boasts the largest club membership of any campus organization. Striving for a better understanding of Christian ideals through worthwhile activities and fellowship, BSU counts among its assets its director, divinity student Phil Hughes, a Lubbock native now attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Hughes works in cooperation with Miss Sandy Sullivan, who acts as faculty advisor for the organization. In addition to being the largest, BSU is also one of the most active clubs. lncluded in the year's activi- ties were a fall social for enlisting initial members, the Christmas party, and in early February, a ski trip to Santa Fe and Glorietta, New Mexico. Also, the club honored favorite professors with an early-morning breakfast on campus. Later in the year they attended a Missions Conference at the South- western Theological Seminary, as well as a Leader- ship Training Conference in Abilene at Hardin-Sim- mons University. As a contributing campus organization, BSU states as its purpose: to relate Christianity to daily living for the college students benefit. Bubba Fowler, a member of the Avant Garde group recording for Columbia Records, lectured for BSU on a subject with which he is familiar, lay missionary work with the hippie section of south Chicago.

Supervising club activities were Mrs, Bettye Mid- dleton and William Knox, sponsors. Fulfilling its purpose, the club spon- sored several guest speakers during the year's activities. Among speakers who appeared were Dr. John W. Smith of TCU, who spoke on The Novel as a Reflection of Social Mores, and lohn Whitten, well-known for his dra- matic readings. Dinner at the Old South Pancake House, followed by the club's attend- ance at the TCU production of SEP- ARATE TABLES at Scott Theatre cli- maxed the activities for this year.
