\ rfi, X^-l L I St AMY 8BARDEI1A Staff Writer Should spirituality be incorporated into the USC curriculum? What is.the best way to counsel a student in the-throes of a tumultuous relationship? These, and other issues, are on the minds of USC ministers who are members of the Chaplains Association, a ministry of 11 chaplains representing 7 major religious groups and three interdenominational Christian organizations. Baptists, Lutherans, Catholics, Episcopalians, those of the Jewish faith, Methodists, and Presbyterians are specifically represented in the group. Five of the ministries reside at four locations on campus. The PALM Center on Pickens, home to both Lutheran and Methodist ministries, appears to be a place that does not know stress. Walking in the back door through the kitchen, long-lost luscious smells of home cooking linger. Creaky stairs lead up to an open, windowlit room with inviting couches and chairs. There's room for raucousness, too. Next door at the Baptist Student Union, a pool table sprawls in a spacious game room. Games, TVs and VCRs are common fare in most ministerial sites. The chaplains are attuned to the specific needs of students. Meeting every Wednesday morning at9ajn., they further their objectives of supporting one another in their ministries and planning cooperative student activities. "We discuss racial problems, relationships and cults," said Greg Von Williams, an interdenominational chaplain. Some cooperative activities planned include summer orientation, and programs in residence halls, which are trying to incorporate spiritual events. But other items are on the table. Tom Wall became a chaplain "because I realized how let's t ~ | on each i down in over rollfffl F for 30 cheese. ~ grams fj ocuv auu Wi^^m 1 teaspc WjlMffi I' ..... . ? 1/2teas 1/4 teas 1/4 teas 2 teaspc 1/4 cup Low-Fat Seafood Lasagne Roll-ups py^ ^ 6 lasagna noodles Cook p 1 package fat-free imitation crab directio: 1/4 cup fat-free Parmesan cheese an(j set 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes skillet i 15 ounces tomato sauce mediui 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese Canadh 1 egg garlic a 1/4 teaspoon onion powder tender. 1 and salt Cook noodles as directed on package, reduce 1 Rinse in cold water; drain well.

As Methodist Campus minister, Wall would like to incorporate spirituality into the USC curriculum. In-fact, University 101 is moving toward a more "holistic" educational approach that enhances all aspects of a healthy lifestyle: intellectual, physical and emotional. The religious or spiritual aspect is the only facet of human experience not included. They are approaching the issue now more in terms of ethics," Wall said. There is a conflict between teaching religion in a state school. How do you address it?" Some students may find the openness of the chaplains surprising and refreshing. Wall, Baptist minister Jane Poster and Catholic Chaplain Michael McCafferty are not inordinately phased when some students, overwhelmed with newfound freedom, abandon religious activities and plunge headlong into unfettered bacchanalia. "Some students say Whoopee!' and head out and have a wonderful time, and maybe two years down the road need to talk. Others are very careful. Others say Do you have a minute? and when that happens, you never know where you're going to end up," Poster said. With students who make bad decisions, you do your bestlo evaluate what happened and rebuild," she said. We give them the freedom to wonder and let them know they are welcome to come back," said Wall. The Methodist, Baptist and Catholic ministries offer workshops and programs on sexuality, some of which are led by students. PALM Center provides brochures on safe sex and issues of identity. Regarding the safe-sex brochure, Wall said, "You'd be buiyingyour head in the sand to think Wl UUi loodla Roll tightly, place seamside cook over mediun a 9-inch baking pan.
