CHURCH OF CHRIST Activities The clash with Playboy reli- gion editor, Anson Mount by William S. Banowsky, minister of the Broad- way Church of Christ, was quite an event on the Tech campus Oct. 8, 1967. It was attended by 2,400 in the Mu- nicipal Auditorium and witnessed by many others on live television. Total Confusion, Campus A d- vance ' s first New Life Meeting with Dr. William J. Teague, Vice-President of Pepperdine College, speaking, brought to life three things students and young people of today want: first, something to believe in; second, guid- ance; and third, to be taken seriously. Two events for international stu- dents have seen an emphasis on the needs of these students by the students of Campus Advance. There was much adventure and joy in getting acquainted with the students from around the world on the Tech campus. Sharing the claims of Christ on the Tech campus and the campus of the University of New Mexico was a central part of the program this past year. Students from Tech traveled to Albuquerque for a campaign on that campus. All of the other events spon- sored by Campus Advance were held with this central idea in mind. It is the conviction of this group of students that Christ is the answer to the many problems of the campus community as well as the emptiness felt by many students. CAMPUS ADVANCE Church of Christ Students Campus Advance is a group of young men and women working to- gether with one common goal ; that being, sharing Christ with their fellow students. Campus Advance has become a meaningful organization on the Tech campus this past year. It is made up of Tech students who are members of the Church o f Christ and others who share the same ideals and goals. The group at Tech is a pilot project for a world-wide campus movement. There are three people working full time with the students in addition to a full time secretary. Campus Advance looks forward to many more cooperative years with the students, administration and fac- ulty of Texas Tech. Plates are filled as the International Supper begins at the Church of Christ Bible Chair on March I. c m ofjs £id ' £LnGe 12 Tyme

BAPTIST STUDENT UNION Projects, programs and partici- pation describe the Baptist Student Union. The outreach of the BSU en- compasses 1,000 Tech students who participate in the six areas of service: enlistment, worship, study, evan- gelism, missions and fellowship. The mission area represents the cog of the activity wheel with its many varied projects. Each Friday night BSU members teach Bible classes for underprivileged children at Lubbock churches. Tutoring ses- sions at area orphanages keep members busy on week nights. Sun- day is Visiting Day at area rest homes for the BSU. The main pro- ject for this fall was Project Hombre, designed to buy beans and rice for the Mexicans left destitute by Hurri- cane Beulah. The red circle on the BSU cal- endar is the annual mid-winter re- treat at Glorietta, New Mexico. Be- sides enjoying the snow and sports, members were inspired by well- known Baptist speakers and stimula- ting discussion groups. In addition to this trip 12 students are selected yearly as Southern Baptist Home Mission Board Summer Missionaries and may be sent anywhere in the United States. News of BSU activities is reported in the Tech Times, a monthly newspaper compiled by the Publications Committee under Vy Townsend.
