Swy mtmU BAPTIST STUDENT UNION Unique Philosophy And Activities The success of the Baptist Student Union in reaching Tech students lies in its unique philosophy and activities. Because the college is in quest for truth, leaders of the Baptist Student Union believe that the Christian per- spective must be included in education. The BSU brings out the potential of many students through specialized serv- ice and Unks the student with his church. Through enlistment, worship, study, evangeUsm, missions and fellowship the BSU puts into action its philosophy. The 1967 mid-winter retreat, a high- light of each year, was held at Glo- rieta, New Mexico. Renowned Baptist speakers presented the program and conducted discussion groups. Those who attended the retreat also spent much free time enjoying snow sports. The mission aspect of the Baptist Student Union is perhaps the most active of the six areas. Approximate- ly 200 Tech students teach Bible school in various Lubbock churches each Friday night. During the week Tech- sans tutor children and visit rest and convalescent homes. In the sum- mer of 1%7 two Techsans served as BSU summer missionaries in Minne- sota and the Rio Grande Valley. Twelve students are also selected yearly as Southern Baptist Home Mission Board Summer Missionaries and are sent all over the United States. The BSU center gives the Tech stu- dent not only a place to study and re- lax but also a place to serve the community. George Woodworth, a student missionary from the BSU, leads a Sunday school class at St. Matthew ' s Mission.

DISCIPLES OF FELLOWSHIP Very Active The University Lutheran Chapel at 2615 19th houses Tech ' s Beta Rho chap- ter of Gamma Delta. The organization for Lutherans on the Tech campus pro- vides a Sunday night meal, conducts worship services and sponsors recrea- tional activities. One of the biggest projects was the 1967 state convention hosted by the Tech chapter. The Lutheran Chapel provides a place for many social activities and a study area always open t o the members of Gamma Delta during the year. The center also has a library that the stu- dents may use any time, or the students may take advantage of the center ' s TV room. On Sunday night after the supper there is a discussion on religious top- ics. In the discussions each student expresses his views on the given sub- ject. GAMMA DELTA Attracts Tech ' s Students Serving as a gathering place for Christian college students, the Disciples of Student Fellowship gives the Tech student the opportunity to meet, study and exchange ideas with other college students. Members of the Disciples of Students Fellowship are also active in special projects. In 1967 an overseas orphan was adopted. Members of the group also tutored children during the week- ends. The week begins for the group on Tuesday night at the First Christian Church with vesper services. Sunday morning discussion groups are also held. Special functions include the Faculty Forum and Religious Emphasis Week. Officers for the year were David Wright, president; Sheila Love, secre- tary and Mary Kube, treasurer.

The new organization was formed from the old Presbyterian Student Associa- tion and the Episcopalian Canterbury Association and now calls itself Cam- pus Christian Fellowship. It is the first ecumenical venture on this campus and has proved very suc- cessful. The Campus Christian group is located at 2412 13th Street, in the Ecumenical Campus Ministries Build- ing. Members of the group have a place to study, to discuss current events or to do reference work in the well kept library. The Campus Christian Fellowship is not a club or a social centered organi- zation. Its purpose is not to provide entertainment; it is not a committee- oriented or an attendance-required type operation. Its main purpose is to provide a channel or to serve as a pointer for constructive action on the Tech campus, in the community, and in many parts of the world. In the past year the group has had many community and world projects. They originated the Viet Nam Project which eventually sent a total of over two tons of goods to the war-torn nation. Other projects include the starting of a Boy Scout troop in Car- lisle. The Rev. Ralph Macy and the Rev. Houston Hodges are the group ' s cam- pus pastors. Mac Moore, Rev.
