CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ORGANIZATION Students Seek God in Science The Christian Science Organiza- tion at Tech operates in a rather unique situation, completely indepen- dent of the branch church in Lubbock. It is entirely under the auspices of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ Scientists in Boston, Mass., as are all university groups like it throughout the country, and is formed by in- terested students and faculty members. Members of the Christian Science Organization hold weekly meetings which consist of a student reader ' s selections from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Blake Eddy. This is followed by testimonies from those present. Meetings are open to all interested persons. Officers of the Christian Science Organization this year were Susan Long, Susan Cobb and Jan Dowling, seated; also Chester Jaynes, advisor, and Carolyn Thomas, standing. Each year the organization spon- sors a free lecture for those interested in Christian Science. This year ' s speaker was Jules Cern of Scarsdale, N. Y. Cern is a member of the Chris- tian Science Board of Lectureship. The group also sponsored its an- nual workshop this year under the di- rection of Ronald Boulding, regional I assistant from the mother church. Officers of the Christian Science Organization for the 1969-70 school year were Susan Cobb, president; Jan Downing, vice-president; Carolyn Thomas, secretary; and Susan Long, treasurer. Chester Jaynes, associate professor of agronomy at Texas Tech is the group ' s sponsor. 1| DISCIPLE STUDENT FELLOWSHIP Relaxed Study The Disciple Student Fellowship is a program that provides Tech Stu- dents from the Christian Churches a ready opportunity to meet for study, worship, service and fellowship.

RELIGION .» CAMPUS ADVANCE Unique Student Fellowship Campus Advance is a fellowship of Christian students on the campus at Texas Tech. The students all share in a unique fellowship which reaches out from the group to the campus and the community. Students find a more real meaning in their lives through Jesus Christ and strive to make it relevant to their lives now. Dorm and apartment devotionals have been set up during the school year which have helped increase the meaning in the lives of many students. Every Monday and Friday night devo- Mike Paden entertains with folk music at the Campus Advance International Banquet. I 1 • tionals are held for the students at the Texas Tech Bible Chair. This year a unique group session was initiated called Fred. The purpose of this group was to open more real and mean- ingful communications between one an- other. An unusual opportunity was of- fered Campus Advance this year to work with the children at the Lubbock State School. The students realize the need to share with others around them and make their lives more meaningful. Campus Advance is students who share a common concern, work and play together under varied circum- stances, and most of all who want to grow closer to Jesus Christ while they study and prepare for the future. One Campus Advance member looks un- decidedly at the serving table during the International Banquet. c:£t.rr-tpLJs a.c v.anc© Dave Woodruff and Karen Knieriem enjoy an evening meal in the fellowship of the Texas Tech Bible Chair.

WESLEY FOUNDATION Fellowship Its Aim The Wesley Foundation is a many- faceted ministry for the whole Tech campus. Its task is to make the gospel heard and to enter into an open discus- sion of ideas with all people, thus working toward individual and social wholeness. The group sponsors a number of activities to further its goals including Bible classes, theological seminars, encounter groups, experimental wor- ship, dialogue sessions, forums, tutor- ing and the Inner Ear Coffeehouse. One of the things of which the Wesley Foundation is most proud is its participation in the United Campus Ministry, an organization composed of groups of Presbyterian, Disciples of Christ, Lutheran, Episcopalian and Methodist denominations. This group sponsored the Symposium on Human Sexuality during the spring semester. Serving as sponsor of the Wesley Foundation is the Rev. Gene Sorely.
