PUB Serves Tech Students in Many Aspects Presbyterian University Building I mv n mi A Place For Fellowship Lubbock ' s Presbyterian University Build- ing is designed to equip faculty and stu- dents for their tasks of Christian ministry on campus.

i Members of the Wesley Foundation get together to make plans for the Student Lay Academy. Wesley Foundation Sponsor Study Religion in America is going downhill. It has only a superficial meaning, say some members of the Wesley Foundation. This is one of the many reasons the Wesley Foundation is offering a new program this year — the Stu- dent Lay Academy. It is a seminar of a disciplined study to acquaint college students with the Bible and Christian faith. Another reason for the seminar is the fact that college students are almost Biblically illiterate, which is unfortimate since their group, above all others, needs to be knowledgeable about their faith. The student Lay Academy will run 24 hour and a half sessions, 12 in the fall and 12 in the spring. Although sponsored by the Methodist Church ' s Wesley Foun- dation, the academy will be non- denominational. The instructions will be strictly on the Bible and will not cover Methodist doctrines and policies. No charge was levied for the academy. The Methodist ' s Wesley Founda- tion members have tried to ac- quaint more students with God ' s word and his teachings. Two members of the Wesley Foundation relax before a meeting. Members of the Foundation have a formal lounge where they can meet to study or gather socially. il The committee for the seminar of disciplined study try to arrange speakers for the non-de- nominational study that the Wesley Foundation sponsored this year. 22 TYME
