Religious Activities — At the Heart of Things Students strived to meet religious expectations through activities sponsored by various organizations on campus. The ReUgious Activity Center, symbolically located in the heart of the campus, provided a focus for growth. In chapel meetings held in Smith Auditorium, students and faculty shared in devotion and praise by participating in worship. The Baptist Student Union encouraged students to minister to one another and benefit from the wisdom offered by speakers, among them local clergymen and seminary faculty. The opportunities in B.S.U. were various and included volunteer student missions during spring break, back yard bible club, noondays and retreats to different locations. Though B.S.U. was the most active religious organization, several other groups testified to diversity of religious expectations on campus. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes brought together athletes to share their faith with one another. Evangelicals for Social Action met twice a week to discuss the application of the teachings and ethics of Jesus to current social and morale problems. The Inner Christian Fellowship gave opportunity to all Christians, regardless of their doctrinal beliefs, to express their unity through special services recognizing Advent and Lent.
