0 STUDENTS AMBLE OUT aftei Street. Baptist students find enterta lfaptist Stm Varied Prol By BRUCE PARRISH Gamecock Feature Writer The trend of expansion here at the university seems to be vir tually extending the campus of' our school to include a section of Pendleton Street. Last year saw two girls' dormitories spAng up within the two blocks just beyond the bounding wall, and three fraternities now occupy houses in that same area. In the midst of all this new growth is a large, squarish brick building which seems to embody all the strength and solidarity of a rugged mountain crag. And Baptists of this state hope that the Baptist Student Center is in deed the focal point for a firm a d vital spiritual life during the cainpus experience of many Caro lina students. For All Baptist- Students The Baptist Student Center is not a new landmark in this neighborhood. For some time after its purchase about eight years ago* it was the only deno minational student center on the campus. It was established by the Baptist Foundation of South Caro lina for all Baptist students in the schools of the Columbia area - and with the very large group at the university especially in mind. Student groups from Columbia College, Baptist Hospital, and General Hospital also utilize its facilities for a number of their activities. The well-knit old dwelling which was once owned by relatives of former Dean of Administration John A. Chase is one of the beat constructed houses anywhere in this area. It was built by a con tractor for his own use and to his personal specifications. Evi dlently he was a man of taste who did not begrudge any expense, and the fine mahogany paneling and cedar lined closets attest to the loving care that went into the establishment of this beautiful eIt wsprobably on ac e'tof this original excellence that no extensive remodeling was done, for the house remains today * substantially as its domestic oc 4 cupants left it. Original Plan The original plan was that the Student Center should occupy only a part of the lower floor and that the rest should be rented for the upkeep. Since that time its use has expanded so that the student activities now take up nearly all of the downstairs space and most of the rental income has been reMated to two apartments in the back yard. Three students still share an apartment in the Center, and the upstairs furnishes a home for a hard working student secretary, Benny Loyd, along with his wife Pat and the two little Loyds. Facilities offered to students who visit the center include a kitchen which can be used to cook for small groups and from which the Tuesday luncheons are served, a spacious television room, and two large porches on which ping pong and shuffleboard equipment are set up. Checkers, chess, and other parlor games are available for moments of quieter relaxation, along with a small but carefully selected library. There is always an opportunity to gather round the a piano to play and sing, and there is a room set aside which is con venient for prayer, quiet mardita a Tuesday luncheon at the Baptil Inment and recreation as well as Chi lent Center "am For S tion, and private devotions. Religious Center Although in a school as large as Carolina the original idea of a "home away from home" has been all but lost, this building still serves as the center of campus religious activities for Baptist students. That program of activ ities includes a luncheon each Tuesday at 1:00 p.m., when vari ous churches of the community alternate in serving approximately 50-60 students. On Wednesday evening, reserved as Church Night at USC, the Center serves as a meeting place for the executive and greater councils and the weekly Vesper service. It can be used as a meeting place for affiliated organ izations such as the YWA and Student Volunteers and for the numerous committees which plan Low.

Each day two Morning Watch groups meet in the prayer room at 7:40 and 8:40 for private devo tions to begin the day, and from the Center on Sunday mornings transportation is provided to what ever Baptist church in the city a student may wish to attend. Work Increases Today Carolina is growing, and with it the Baptist student work increases. It is anticipated that very soon the present quarters will have to be enlarged or more adequate facilities sought. Mean while the founders of the Baptist Student Center and those who have worked in it through the years of its service hope and be lieve that it has helped to enrich the spiritual life of this campus through the individual lives of many, many of its student citizens. . and behold! toTMiC C. l General Motors took i just look what happeri The 3el AIr Sport Coupe-one oI ead V8 as only the valve-i sad leader can build it! w Chevrolet introduces the "Turbo-.
