"As Baptist students our Bib-
lical faith responds to God's de-
mand for justice, righteousness,
compassion, mercy, and concern
for every person.
"A succession of tragic events
have focused attention on the
great gap between the races of
this nation. While it is true that
some steps forward have been
taken by men of good will and

noble purpose, It has become
evident tha& moet of us have
failed to respond to the need for
significant and clearly defined
action in the betterment of race
relations. It is clear that a new
intensity of dedication resulting
in fresh approaches and depar-
tures from existing attitudes and
actions is urgently in order.
"We will make personal sac-
rifices and engage in collective
action to express our commit-
ment to lessening racial tension
and to contributing to racial
harmony. We pray that all Bap-
tists in this state will join us.
"We will involve ourselves In
an aggressive program of wit-
nessing to bring students of all
races to a knowledge of Jesus
Christ and to enlist them In the
fellowship and service of our
churches. We will pursue this
role In the Crusade of Ameri-
cas, a hemispheric evangelistic
campaign) in 1969.
"We will resist the sort
of pseudo-sophistication that
places a premium on prejudice.
We will work to eliminate every
trace of racial discrimination m
our Baptist Student Unions, so-
rorities, fraternities, and clubs,
as well as in matters of student
housing and employment.
"We Will endeavor to provide
avenues for understanding and
communication, to conduct in-
ter-racial projects of ministry,
worship, iand stndy.
"We directed the 1968-69 State
President's Council to design a
program of implementation in-
cluding, as an immediate step,
the development of a summer
project involving Baptist stu-
dents in racially troubled Texas
situations."
