The renovation of Rutledge
College this fall will affect not only
its residents, but also persons who
use Rutledge Chapel for Sunday
services.
4 4We will be having Sunday
services in the Russell House
Theater this summer, but we are
uncertain about a place for worship
in the fall, because we do not
know how long it will take for them
to renovate the facilitv." said the
Rev. James Wilson, president of
the Student Christian Fellowship.
Wilson said the Booker T.
Washington Auditorium may be
the group's place of worship next
fall, but the group is looking for a
more central campus location.
use, ACCORDING to Wilson,
does not have to provide a place for
religious services tor any Christian
organization. He added that all
other campus Christian
organizations are funded by their
denominations.
"The cost of their funding is paid
through their home churches,"
Wilson said, "whereas, we are just
known as a nondenominational
church of students.
"We got Rutledge Chapel
because it has not been used since
1965, and therefore, we've been
able to use it as our own, but it is
not ours by far. It has been a
blessing for us that we have been
able to use the chapel without
conflicting with anyone else
wanting to use it on the first and
third Sundays."
The Student Christian
Fellowship Organization is a group
of USC students and faculty
members who hold church services
on the first and third Sundays of
the month, and on the fifth Sunday
when there is one.

organization was created in the fall
of 1975, because several people
wanted to establish a choir, which
led to the idea of having religious
services for black students on
campus. Wilson said although
services may be geared toward the
black students, they arc not limited
to them.
"The black students on campus
had a place to worship before, but
they were going to community
churches such as Mount Olive, and
Ridgewood Baptist churches," he
said.
Wilson said he and other
ministers drew up a plan to bring
back to campus the black students
who were worshipping off campus,
thus forming the Student Christian
Fellowship. "There are still some
black students who worship off
campus, but the majority of them
worship on campus."
"We started out as an attempt to
bring the black students together
on campus," Wilson said, "but
what it has really turned out to be
is worship services that are not
now geared only to black students,
as it was in the first semester it
was formed."
