The Inter-Varsity Christian
fellowship is a Bible-oriented

“The nondenominational
roup’s emphasis is on spiritual
Laming through the Bible, and
Sharing each other’s views,” No
tether literature is used, ex-
llained Jeanne Rogers, a
leader of one of the two small
Loups that make up the larger
Organization.
She went on to add, “Right
now for the winter term we are
focusing on spreading the
gospel through our own words
and actions. Our studies are
revolving around this theme.”
Inter-Varsity has been
around the College for a few
years now, but it took “outside
organizer” Bruce Erikson to get
things “really moving,” accor
ding to Rogers.
Erikson divided the large
Bible group into two smaller
groups, making it a “more in-
timate Bible study.” He also
appointed two student leaders
to each group. These smaller
groups meet separately once a
week, besides attending the
weekly larger group meetings.

went to Jim Roberts, dean of
student services, and Bill Ryan,
adminstrative dean of college
services. He presented a con
sensus from students, who
have voiced their objections on
the smoggy state of the cafeteria
to ASG • officers in increasing
numbers lately, both in person
and
through
the
new
suggestion box system.
Roberts and Ryan agreed
that, a better arrangement was
needed to insure at least one
refuge for clean-air-seeking
diners, and it was agreed to
label and set aside the Intimate
Dining Room for that use.
Signs to the effect are being
made, and may be in place by
press time. Enforcement has
not been mentioned, but it is
hoped that smokers will obser
ve the new, unwritten law.
College Jaycees
win recognition
The College chapter of the
Jaycees, although fairly new, is
fast becoming recognized in the
state and nation.
Jim Newby, member of the
Jaycees, said the chapter is
number one in their population
division
and
has
won
numerous local ancT national
awards for their efforts.
“We’ve broken recruitment
records, said Newby, “along
with capturing 13 awards, two
of them national leadership
awards.”
The Jaycees are 54 strong
and still growing, according to
Newby. “Any CCC student,
faculty, or former student is
eligible to join,” he said.
“The Jaycees are concerned
with bettering themselves by
helping other people,” said
Newby. “We gain leadership
experience that way. ”
Draft topic of hot student forum
pay attention.
The discussion grew from
three or four to well over a
hundred. The forum turned in
to an enlarged version of
“Town Hall Tonight.”
Then, Channels 6 and 2
showed up, and with three
cameras and well over 100
opinions, things became hot.
Voices became louder, tem
pers flared. I thought a riot'was
going to occur. When Jim
Rowe, the anchorman for
Channel Six News, stepped in
front of a good friend sitting
next to me, he sincerely asked,
“I’m not in your way, am I?”
Wow! He actually spoke to us!
I’ve watched him so many
times on TV. Gosh, it was ex
citing.
Tension was really building
now. When a student from
Kuwait was spotted amongst
the mass, the cameras and

I would have said something

From there, it went downhill.

food, but because of what was
to come. A television camera
was staring directly at Boitnott,
and there was a man looking
into it, trying to focus on Boit
nott, still pacing behind a set of
microphones.
Meanwhile, a man with long
hair and a beard slowly strolled
up to a couple sitting next to
me, and started asking them
questions about the draft and if
they supported it. After getting
their opinions, he cordially in
vited them up to the mike to
voice their opinions to a crowd
that looked like inspirations for
a Randy Newman song.
I knew I was in big trouble.
Yet, 1 couldn’t move. 1 was
frozen in my chair, staring into
these purple things in my salad

him). The man finished with
the couple and started towards
me when Boitnott’s voice ex
ploded over the speakers, “Hi,
I’m Phil Boitnott find the
reason for the cameras
is...well...I’m hoping to con
duct a public forum, and the
topic for this discussion is the
reinstatement of the draft.”
I breathed a sigh of relief as
the man moved, his thoughts
turning away from devouring
me. The crowd, at first,
seemed more interested in the
fact that the sun was shining.
Boitnott may have scared the
crowd when he announced
that the forilm was being
