Plans progress for student center
By Dan Kohn
Editor of The Banner
A proposed student center is
targeted for completion by the
end of this semester.
This temporary student center
will be funded partially by a $10
per semester fee which was
passed overwhelmingly by students during a referendum last
spring.
The student center will be located on the basement floor of the
James Building. The center will
stretch from Student health
Services on one side to the bookstore on the other. Tentative
plans include knocking down
walls to include hallway space in
the project
In early spring 89, the ASCBC
Executive Council formed the
Collegium  Centrum Committee
to investigate the possibility of a
student center on campus. The
committee determined that there
was a need for a student center
and made a tentative proposal for
a student center in the ceramics
building.
During the summer, the committee further studied the ceramics building and determined that
the cost of renovating the building and relocating the ceramics
program would be prohibitive.
An alternate plan to use the
basement area was proposed to
the Executive Council by
ASCBC President Daniel Pryfo-

gle. On August 9, the proposal
was approved.
This temporary student center
should not be confused with the
student center being planned to
go into the future science building, which could be built in 2-3
years.
Currently priorities are being
established for what will be included in the student center and
what type of food service will be
provided.
There will be an open forum in
the near future to answer any questions that students may have
about the student center.

Ministry opportunities abound with BSU
By Jeanine Bourcier
Ministry, discipleship, and personal growth. These are the
goals of the Baptist Student Union (BSU). The BSU is a minsi-
try organization open to all students and not just Baptists. It
sponsors various ministries designed allow students to share
their faith, help the community
and grow spiritually.
The BSU helps to sponsor students to work as summer or semester missionaries. There are
opportunities on summer evangelism teams for state, national
and international positions. If
you are interested in working as a
summer missionary for 1990,
stop by the BSU office. The
deadline to apply is December 15.
The Juvenile Hall ministry has
been successful in the short time
that it has been in progress. Students set up activities and try to
get to know the kids so that they
may share their faith. The students received an award from the
County Commisioners for the
outstanding quality of the program. Jeanette Clark and Rob
Rawlings are the people to see if
you are interested.

Habitat for Humanity is a ministry which involves helping
homeless people build adequate
housing for their families. Students may volunteer to help with
the building, working side by
side with the family. The family
is thus investing "sweat equity."
When the house is complete, the
family then has  a mortgage,
which usually lasts about 20
years, then the house is theirs.
For more information, contact
Paula Sheridan.

Do you like to hear the pitter-
patter of little feet? If so, perhaps the Children's Ministry is
more your style. It is a once-a-
week ministry to the children of
the Lancer Arms apartments. The
person to contact is Norma Brewer.

Special Witness Activity Training (SWAT) is a collection of
teams of students dedicated to
evangelism and church growth.
Students will be working in the
Trinity and Calvary Arrowhead
Associations. On September 21
at 1:30pm, the interview for team
leader positions will begin. Team
training will start on September
25 at 3:30pm. Stop by the BSU
office and Director Scott Key for
information.

Something new this year will
be the Fellowship of Christain
Atheletes. It will include bible
studies and ministry on campus.
See Mark Benedetto for more information.
*
To help promote personal
growth among the students, bible
studies and discipleship groups
will be forming. Come to the informational meeting on Monday,
September 18 at 7:30pm on the
second floor of Simmons Hall.

technology in an effort to posi
tively impact their world," Tuck
continued.

goal of $5.2 million, with a current campaign total of $4.7 million in gifts and pledges.
