Greeks to host speaker
"I'm a speaker, not a preacher,*’
says Rusty Wright, traveling speaker
for Campus Crusade for Christ, who
will be speaking on various issues in
an 1 n t e r f r a t e r n i t y Coun
cil/Panhellenic-endorsed set of
forums today, Tuesday and Wednes
day at the University.
“My main purpose is to get faculty
and students thinking,” Wright says.
"1 don't come to force my views down
people’s throats.”
Wright, who holds a masters degree
from the International Christian
Graduate University, has been on the
speaking circuit for 10 years. He has
visited some 130 campuses in 30
states.
Fie is a member of two national
honor societies and the Lambda Chi
Alpha social fraternity.
Wright has been a staff member
with Campus Crusade since 1971, and
often works with his wife Linda.
Rusty Wright
Together they have co-authored a
number of books, including
“Dynamic Sex” and “How to Unlock
the Secrets of Love, Sex and Mar
riage.” Wright also wrote a book on
after-life experiences, entitled “The
Other Side of Life”.
Interfraternity Council Pres. Jay
Halverson is excited about Wright’s
visit.
“He sounds like he’s a fantastic
speaker,” Halverson says. “He’s
speaking on good subjects, and I
think anybody could take the time out
to listen.” Halverson considers
Campus Crusade a credible organiza
tion. “We’re trying to put a lot back
into the University and the communi
ty,” he says in explaining Greek
sponsorship of Wright’s visit. “I
think everybody could really benefit
from hearing Rusty.”
Wright truly enjoys what he is do
ing. “I found that I can be useful in
stimulating students’ lives,” he says.
“I enjoy doing it, too.”
Wright feels that attitudes toward
speakers such as himself are changing
on campuses around the nation.
"There is not so much cause orien
tation as there was when I started out.
People are willing to consider the
claims of Christ.” Wright stresses the
fact that his talks are not sermons, but
intellectually-based* presentations
that are both mentally stimulating
and fun.
Today, Wright will speak on
"Dynamic Sex” at noon in the EMU
Forum Room. Tonight at 8:30, he will
offer a talk on “How To Be Successful
and Happy” in the Gerlinger Hall
lounge.
Other Wright presentations include
“Christian Perspective on Racism”
(Tuesday, noon, EMU Dad’s Room)
and “The Dating Game” (Tuesday,
8:30 p.m., Room 150 Geology).
Fall enrollment increase
continues in winter term
By Jolayne Houtz
Of the Emerald
The University’s fall term enrollment
increase continued into winter term as
expected, according to James Buch,
director of admissions and records.
Buch predicts that winter enrollment
will be up three percent, as compared
with winter term last year. Fall enroll
ment was up 2.8 percent from the
previous fall.
Buch noted that enrollment in the
Community Education Program was up
6,9 percent, to 680 from 636 at the same
time last year.
“Growth in the CEP program is put
ting us further ahead of last year’s enroll
ment than we would have predicted,”
Buch said.
Network plans
rally for today
Members of the Interfaith Sanctuary
Network will rally today to protest last
week’s indictment of sanctuary workers
and the arrest of Salvadoran and
Guatemalan refugees.
The rally will be held at 11:45 a.m. at
the Federal Building downtown.
Last week, the federal Immigration
and Naturalization Sendee indicted 16
sanctuary workers in Arizona. More than
60 refugees were arrested.
The workers were charged with con
spiring to violate the federal Refugee
Act.
Four churches in Eugene provide
sanctuary for 17 refugees, and local sanc
tuary leaders believe the federal govern
ment is beginning a crackdown that may
affect Eugene sanctuaries.
The U.S. government does not give
asylum to refugees from Guatemala or El
Salvador. Sanctuary workers claim that
those who are returned to those coun
tries are often killed by their
governments.
“Another key factor is increased reten
tion of fall term students,” Buch said.
“The many orientation programs, the
new freshman seminars and other quali
ty academic programs are providing
students the kind of educational ex
perience they had hoped for.”
A total of 13,454 students completed
winter term registration during the for
mal two-day process at McArthur Court,
up seven percent from 1984. Buch said
this figure is unusually high because law
students were registering during this
time, while last year they registered after
the Mac Court registration.
Buch said he expects the official figure
for the term to be about 15,300.
“We’re pleased with the continuing
strong enrollment picture,” Buch said.
