THE TWIG Newspaper of the Students oj Meredith College VOLUME XXXVII MEREDITH COLLEGE, RALEIGH, N. C., APRIL 25, 1963 NO. 14 M.C.A. to Include Representatives From All Denominations on Campus The constitution of the Meredith Christian Association, newly - or ganized religious group on the cam pus, has been completed and ap proved. The committee which worked out the constitution was composed of Beth Woodall, Carol Coxe, Carol Christian West, Betty Sodeman, Syl via Cooper, and Mrs. R. A. Pritchard, BSU adviser.

One plan was to change the name of the BSU to the Meredith Christian As sociation and keep the same gen eral structure of the present BSU. A committee, consisting of Meredith student leaders and administration personnel plus directors of the other denominational student groups, was’ appointed by Dr. Campbell. This group suggested that there be either an MCA and a BSU, or that there be organized student groups of all the separate denominations on cam pus. Upon consultation with the state directors of these denominational groups, it was decided that they would be better able to serve Mere dith students by remaining church- centered, as they presently are, instead of organizing campus-cen tered groups. The BSU’s policy has always been to have a campus-cen- tered organization; therefore, the committee suggested that there be an MCA, composed of representa tives from all denominations with a representation on campus of fif teen or more, as well as a separate BSU for Baptists.
