STAFF WRITER S'ven me challenge of hosting the conference
for the Christian Association of Student
Leaders. Under the supervision of Dean Linda Carleton and conference coor-
dinator Michcle Sorrels planning began several months ago in anticipation of
the event
The Christian Association of Student Leaders or CASL is a student-led
conference association that is sponsored by the Baptist General Convention of
Texas. CASL's mission is to equip student leaders physically emotionally
spiritually and mentally according to the example set by Christ Jesus.
The conference provides students opportunities to meet student leaders
from various Christian schools listen to speakers and discuss specific ideas
in roundtablc meetings. Universities and organizations within the university
send delegates to share ideas from their area of leadership.
Last year the CASL conference was held at Mary Hardin Baylor. Hardin-
Simmons had the largest representation of any school at the conference and
offered to host the 2000 conference.
Dean Carleton is this year's CASL sponsor and host school sponsor. She
feels that the conference will be beneficial to Hardin-Simmons on several lev-
els. "People who are planning the conference will gain valuable experience.
We hope to gain new ideas and give people a chance to sec what Hardin-
Simmons is really like" said Carleton.
This year's conference will focus on Christian ethics. Students will have
the opportunity to hear from Christian leaders from various professional
fields.
Sorrels explains the importance of CASL. "CASL allows us to form rela-
tionships with other Christian schools similar to our own. We can call on
each other for ideas solutions or support" she said.
During the days of the conference HSU students should expect to
see student leaders from across Texas and other states on campus.
The conference will be held January 27-29 2000. Hardin-Simmons
students are encouraged to get to know people they see and help them
feel welcome on the campus.
Roundtablc discussions will be held for the following areas: student gov-
ernment social and sevicc clubs student recruitment new student orientation
residence life campus activities campus ministries and student publications.
HSU campus organizations arc encouraged to send delegates to attend the
CASL conference.
CASL is financially supported by the Baptist General Convention of
Texas. Due to their commitment to help develop strong Christian leaders the
BGCT offers a $25 discount to students who attend Texas Baptist schools.

She is the sponsor of the Cowboy Activities Committee. The CAC
is responsible for organizing and getting students involved in
campus activities. This is just one of the many activities they are
responsible for. "Mystery" is a game played on campus just like
the board game Clue. Professors dress up and act out personalities
such as Professor Plum and Miss Scarlet in different areas of the
campus. Teams can combine as many as 20 students together rep-
resenting various colors. They begin with a clue that will take
them to their first building. In order to get through to speak with
the character they must first earn the right of passage. This is
accomplished by playing a team game. Some of the games this
year include making a human ice cream sundae spam creations
and a turkey bowl. Amie Deacon a two-year CAC member said
"It's fun to watch everyone get silly while they play the crazy
games!" After a team has heard a character's story they are
allowed only to ask yes or no questions. They must make their
own conclusions as to where with what and who was killed. The
teams are first given the clues at eight o'clock with the game
ending at ten. The first team to make it back to the starting point
with the correct answer wins. This year taking first place was the
