JENNYCHAVEZ Copy Editor The “I agree with Paul” cam paign, sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ as a way to exposé the club to more people, came to a finale on Friday amidst balloons, free pizza, so das and a full house in the Sky light Dining Hall. Over 100, students attended the revealing of Paul Southwick, whose name be came the center of curiosity by club posters that were dis played throughout the campus. The crowd greeted him with an ovation as he was introduced. “Did I get your attention? I’m not Paul McCartney or Paul the Pope,” said Southwick. “I’m just a regular student like all you guys.” Southwick spoke briefly about his own religious beliefs and gave students a better un derstanding of what the Cam pus Crusade for Christ club stands for. “There was a letter in The Print referring to the real mes sage,” said Southwick. “The real message is that I believe in God and to know God is to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.” An attendee at the event told Southwick that, though he didn’t agree with his message, he thought it was great that he could stand up for what he be lieved in. Though free pizza was a big attraction to the event, many students attended because of curiosity. “My initial thought was that it was probably something re ligious,” said Eric Pleger, be fore Southwick spoke. “I’m still not sure what it is, so I’m here to find out.” “I knew it was a Christian group,” said another student, Erica Dahlin. “I just wanted to know what they’re all about be cause I’m a Christian.” Southwick also shared with the group about his personal life and struggles he faced. “When I was around 12, my parents argued a lot - fighting and screaming. I would feel re ally scared inside,” he said. “I found later that happiness doesn’t always last with the things we think we need to be happy.” The club advertising cam paign started two weeks ago with signs that got the campus talking. By the end of the first week, the posters, which origi nally read “I” now read, “I agree with Paul.” During the second week, members of the club wore orange T-shirts stat ing the same slogan. Though , mock posters and defacing of the original club posters also occurred around campus, Southwick remained positive. “I think that made people keep talking about it and gen erated more interest,” he said. “There was a kind of lull in the second week and that caused more attention.” Campus Crusade for Christ is a campus ministry that started in 1951 and is active in 150 countries throughout the world. For anyone interested in the club, they meet on campus’’ Tuesdays, from noon - lp.m.,, inB113.
