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

powerful religious questions are and need to be
addressed in the lives of students." 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,

An old house on Greene Street, just down
from the Russell House in the midst of student h
domiciles, is the home of Catholic Campus
Ministries. a
Father Mike McCafferty said most students
attending programs at the Catholic Center agree 0i
in general with the church's pro-life stance, with tl
one exception: "They are not buying the whole
teaching on birth control." T

said. "They deal with drugs, sex and alcohol in a
