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.

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. Jimmy Brokenbek, Ray Webber, Kay Graybill, Kay Dunn and Andra Allen join George Woodworth in singing at St. Matthew ' s Mission. Tyme—13

»Ut kiiteaii liMiiiOT mMtk MUSIC DEPARTMENT Rhythm Men Just as the downbeat of a conduc- tor ' s baton commences harmony from talented performers at his command, so do the member areas of Texas Tech ' s music department combine their forc- es to comprise a strong department. In his seventeenth year as music head, Dr. Gene Hemmle co-ordinates and su- pervises programs and teaching within the department. Growing proportionately with Tech ' s booming enrollment, the department, centered in the campus music build- ing, has branched into 17 additional buildings, where theory, practice, and utiUzation of talents occur on a mas- sive scale. Controlling the reins of the orches- tra branch, Paul Ellsworth conducts the Tech Symphony, chamber orches- tra, and ensembles which include some 70 orchestra students. Gene Kenney heads the choral de- partment, which includes the Tech Choir, Tech Singers, and men ' s and women ' s choruses. Also performing on campus and community level are the Madrigal Singers, a selective non-cred- it group. Heading the area of beind affiliation I: lip PAUL ELLSWORTH Symphony is his domain. DR. GENE HEMMLE Heads expanding department is Dean Killion, who conducts Tech ' s Goin ' Band from Raiderland. In addi- tion to the marching band, a concert band, two stagehands and two var- sity bands penetrate the atmosphere with rhythm at Tech. Weekly student recitals, required for gaining a degree, are presented either on campus or in churches throughout Lubbock. Periodic concerts are pre- sented in the Student Union ballroom and Coronado Room, and are open to the public. During the formal school year, a series of Sunday afternoon chamber music recitals are performed in the Tech Library foyer. For the first time this year, the de- partment ' s Opera Theater is being housed in a permanent building, so that an accelerated music-drama pro- gram might be effected. Two major highlights of the year are the department ' s participation in Tech ' s Fine Arts Festival, and in the Festival of Contemporary Music in the spring, with guest lecturers and musicians appearing on a symposium level. Instigated this year, a music theory program supplements the two pres- ent programs toward degrees in either applied music or music educa- tion, all of which place emphasis on skilled vocal or major instrument per- formance.
