the Skylight Dining Hall.

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’’
