No one was hurt in the incident Monday at the Federal Correc tional Institution near Bastrop. Prison spokesman Beeler Gausz said four guards were taken hostage and held for about a half- hour. He said four other guards who rushed to the scene were held for a few minutes before other guards arrived. Gausz said the hostages were bound and locked in rooms adja cent to the woodworking factory by the inmates. He said one of the guards managed to work himself free and telephoned security, which rushed more aid to the scene. Gausz said the inmates made no demands of officials and appa rently were trying to escape. He said they finally surrendered after realizing they had no chance. * r'—' .... sr ' ■ .■v^' jj£r£.- • ^ ^ * ■ ■*««*** r : .. .v ' " ' - ~ ...

A&M University March 30. Kirk patrick said a videotape can be made upon the request of a teacher in the department or if a lecture is relevant to a class. The videotapes are generally used for teaching purposes but can be loaned out of the department on request, Kirkpatrick said. It was easy for the department to videotape, he said, since it has its own equipment. He said the political science department will be doing more taping in the frutre, so long as time and the necessary resources are available. Commager was brought the Texas A&M by the University Lecture Committee, Dr. Donald McDonald chairman of the com mittee said. The committee spon sors four lectures a year, three of which are in conjunction with the different colleges, with the fourth being given by a faculty member at Texas A&M. For the most part, permission from the speakers alone is needed to videotape, Kirkpatrick said. Sometimes there is a problem with this, because some speakers feel it interferes with copyright, especially with popular lectures, Kirkpatrick said. MSG Great Issues and Political Forum usually record speeches they sponsor hut have not made any plans to videotape in the fu ture, said committee advisers Suzanne Becker and David Mucci. LIFE IS A PERSON! The Bible tells us that life is God Himself, life is Christ. Colossians 3:4 speaks of “Christ who is our life." Hence, life is a wonderful Person! The very life which we received when we believed in the Lord Jesus is a Person! 1 John 5:12 says, “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." What is needed then to experience life is an intimate, living, and continual contact with this dear Person in the depths of our being. Nothing is more intimate, more experiential, more one with our very being than life. And the Bible informs us that Christ has come into us to be our life. Thus we need a daily, practical experience of this Person becoming and being the very life that pulsates through us. Nothing must replace Him. Christ is not a teaching to learn, and He is not a gift to employ. He is not a power to use or a behavior to live out. We appreciate these things in their proper place. But Christ is rather a wonderful Person indwelling us to be experienced as our life. Do not tell others that you have known Jesus for many years. That means very little. What matters is that you have an intimate, living experience of Him right now. We must know Him as our present life. May God unveil Him to us as our life, and may we aspire to know and experience Him as life to the uttermost! Come and Enjoy "THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST.. 6:00 P.M.
