Thirteen members of the
Christian Update Forum will be
speaking in more than 100 clas
srooms on subjects including
mechanical engineering, educa
tion, psychology, philosophy
and zoology.
The group was invited to the
campus by Aldersgate Method
ist Church, Grace Bible Church,
Inter-Varsity Christian Fellow
ship, Campus Crusade for
Christ, Navigators, Young Life
and the Fellowship of Christian
Athletes.
After the group was invited,
students in the classes asked
their instructors if a Christian
speaker could come into the
classes and lecture. Instructors
who consented were allowed to
choose the topics that the guest
lecturers would cover.
Besides the classroom lec
tures, the forum will offer five
evening lectures.
Speeches scheduled for Mon
day night are: “Thermodyna

. Dr. Leonard Berry, associate
professor of marketing and a
member of the center’s planning
ifonmiittee, said he expects the
exas A&M System Board of
Regents to approve the center in
meeting this month. If
approved, the center will open
in January 1983.
There is a need in major col

The center will be privately
funded by retail firms whose
headquarters are in Texas.
Sponsors include Zales Corp.,
Dillard’s Department Stores,
Sanger-Harris Department
Stores, the Southland Corp.,
Neiman-Marcus, the Kroger
Co., H.E.B. Grocery Co., Brook
shire Grocery Co. and the Tan
dy Corp). Berry said the center is
seeking additional sponsors and
hopes to find ones that have
headquarters outside Texas.
Berry said other centers in the
country focus on aspects of re
tailing, but said the Texas A&M
center should be more compre
hensive than most.
If the center is approved, the
marketing department is plan
ning an introductory campaign
for students in January and a
retailing career fair in February.

pnmittee report in its meeting
tonight in 216T MSC. The
council also will hear officer re

educational programs.
The new committee would
Rudy those problems that con

Norwood said, and also will deal
with specific problems that
could relate to all committees.
A long-range planning com

the council has done and will re
port on future plans, Norwood
said. The committee has discus
sed the most pressing problems
within the council and has set up
subcommittees to evaluate and
report on them. Norwood said
some of the problems being dis
cussed are the student develop

Evening lectures on Tuesday
and Wednesday are “Success in
the ’80s” and “Marriage: Con
tract, or Commitment?”
The Christian Update Forum
has visited more than 40 univer
sity campuses in the United
States and Canada and has lec
tured to students in more than
1,800 classrooms. Most mem
bers of the lecture forum are
full-time university professors
or work in business-related
fields.
Dr. Clinton Phillips, dean of
faculties, said the University
does not endorse the program,
but it is being permitted.
“If a professor wants to invite
someone into his class that’s per
fectly all right,” he said.
hear. Salazar — like several
other members of the band —
showed versatility by playing
keyboards, bass, guitar, alto sax
and flute.
Rusty Miller, lead guitarist,
lacked the showmanship of
Butts and Salazar but played a
good lead with occasional bursts
of inspiration.
Don Pope, Spectrum’s newest
member, played alto, soprano
and tenor saxes as well as the
flute. While his musical per
formance was enthusiastically
flawless, he looked lost when not
playing — which was much of
the time.
The band mostly played copy
material but did perform a few
original songs.
B.B. King’s “How Blue Can
You Get?” was one notable num
ber. Pope and Miller highlight
ed the song with exceptional
leads on sax and guitar.
Of the original material, “No
Batteries” — which was written
and Sung by Butts — was a
standout.
