The trip to Jamaica was spon sored by the University Union. Students were able to spend four days at Montego Bay at a special rate offered by the Union.

The students left USC Jan. 21 and flew from Miami to Monteg> Bay Jan. 25.

Physically, religion on the USC campus has come a long way in the two decades Dr. Lauren E. Brubaker has been at the Univer sity. "When I came here all religious programs w e r e YMCA-YWCA, nondenominational. As the cam-. pus grew, denomination chaplainsi were appointed and it built up through the years," recalls Dr. Brubaker, head of the Department of Bible and Religion. Even more recent developments have been the organizing of pro grams by student groups without chaplains, such as Christian Sci I entists, Baha'i Faith, Unitarians and Friends.

Cooperative programs involving all the centers are focused by the Student Religious Association in which chaplains and student lead ers meet. There are also interde nominational programs such as the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. As for the centers, Dr. Brubaker says, "The tendency as I have seen it in the nature of programs has been a move from mostly so cial and recreational to a great deal more emphasis on worship and study." He added, "There is the in creasing realization that instead of the same group of students doing a lot of different things at the centers, there are varied programs within the centers in which students can get involved with specific activities."

Another trend is the development of voluntary study programs.! The move away from the old' Religious Emphasis Week to the, present Visiting Scholars Program: is an example of this change of' direction. Chaplains, cooperating with academic departments, invite speakers to campus with the aim of challenging and stirring up dis cussion among the students. "This reflects the chaplains' concern for the whole educa tional process and their function as a part of it-a concern for a challenging. broadening, open ing type of experience," Prof. Blrubaker said. "We're interested in person. vho want serious academic study in religion whatever their personal >ackgrounds might he," D)r. Biru haker said, "and we try to offer a variety of approaches to the study of religion such as con .emporary religion, theological readings and world religions."
