BSU Raising Cash
For Summer Work
2 HPCers May Go
One thousand dollars is HPC's
goal for summer missions ac-
cording to BSU missions chair-
man Johnny Pedroso. The money
will be used by the Texas Baptist
Student department to send 12
college students to foreign fields
for service next summer.
Two HPC students will be can-
didates for mission service. They
are Jerry Wilson and Concessa
Ruiz both juniors.
HPC's goal was adopted at the
recent mid-term BSU retreat.
In order to raise the money
students are needed who will do-
nate their time in working at odd
jobs when called upon. The
money they earn will go toward
the goal Pedroso said.
"Thomas and Caffey Conoco
Service Station Fisk and Third
is being of great assistance to the
campaign" the missions chair-
man said. "They are letting us
use their wash rack and provid-
ing the water and supplies for
HPC students to wash cars. We
get everything above 50 cents."
Students work at the service
station on Mondays Wednesdays
and Fridays.
The station also donates the use
of their radio time to publicize
the campaign.
The local churches are also sup-
porting the campaign work by an-
nouncing for work at the services.
