message of a powerful resurrected
Jesus said Lcs Bennett missionary-in-rcsidcncc

said because the majority of these
people visualize cither a dead Girist
or a baby Christ
The goal of the campaign is "to
bring people closer to Jesus and get
them interested so they begin
searching" Bennett said.
The people of Mcrida consist of a
small number of devout Catholics
and a large number of cultural
Catholics so as far as their alle-
giance to God is concerned the
majority of the Meridian people
don't have any he said.
Students who attend the cam-
paign arc trained to sing in Spanish
as part of a large choral group.
These training sessions arc conduct-
ed every Thursday at 9 p.m. in
Room 219 of the Biblical Studies
Building. The choral group is led by
focus on the Holy Spirit
many youth conferences exist litis
one is unique because the confer-
ence will present the annual
nationwide adolcscents-in-thc-church
survey she said.
About 1100 youth from middle
school through college and 100
ciders and ministers participated in
the survey Brown said.
Surveys were sent across Ameri-
ca with each region receiving a
proportional amount based on the
percentages of Churches of Christ
and church-supported schools in
that region.

Bennett said.
"Christ in the Cultures of a

definitive research being done on
adolescents in Churches of
Christ" Lewis said.
Robbie Robinson graduate stu-

New marquee
informs students '
of happenings
Student Services and the Stu-
dents' Association purchased a
marquee that Feb. 1 was placed oh.
the south side of Moody Coliseum?!!
Members of the SA discussed
plans with Dr. Charles Trevathan
vice president for Student Services
as to how they could help students
know campus information.
In the past getting new out has
'been difficult said Matt Murphyf
president of the S A.
The idea of the sign came from
these meetings he said.
The coliseum sight for the sign
was chosen as a central location
where most students pass daily on
the way to Chapel.
Doth groups wanted to providca
way students could easily view
information about campus evenw
said Shawni Bums director of stu-
dent activities.
Jack Rich vice president for
finance and administration wa?
helpful in choosing the sign and
putting it up added Murphy scriior
Englishhistory major from Waco.'
Workers in the Student Services
office change the wording on the
sign. The announcements will bj
alternated according to the numbfy-
of events occurring during tfic
week. T .
Up to four1 lines or informati6n
can be lettered on the sign. "Wild-
cat Activities" is printed perma-
nently on the left side of the mat
quce.
"The hardest part of S A is adver1-
tising and no one looks at the
chalk board announcements" stud
SA representative Slade Sullivan
sophomore communication major
from Abilene. ji
He also said. "This helps-$s
advertise where people will see the
information" i5
To have announcements put'op
the sign contact Durris in Student
Services at Ext. 2772. ' !
