One of the greatest fears of college students today is not being loved and not being able to love, he said. “People are bankrupt in the areas of sex, love and marriage, especially university students,” McDowell said. In the last 15 years McDowell has lectured to more than 7 mil lion students on more than 600 campuses in 62 countries. McDowell said in lectures at the University of Pittsburgh that almost all of the intellectual, moral and social problems peo ple face today can be solved and “How to be a good lover could well be one of the most important talks any college student could hear, ” Josh McDowell, Christian lecturer, said. and wanted to historically dis prove Christ’s resurrection. He says he never got past the first step. He not only failed to dis prove the resurrection but acci dently found evidence to sup port it, he said. That’s when he decided to becbme a Christian. McDowell’s experience was the basis for his best selling book, “Evidence That Demands a Verdict.” Hqus u ■y for the' L trial o f h Wilson He said he began traveling with the crusade because he struggled as a student and wanted to make an impact on today’s college students. “I probably get more feed back from students than anyone else,” he said. that he is committed.to provid ing the solutions to these prob lems. McDowell said that as a stu dent he was a religious skeptic McDowell, who lectured two years ago at Texas A&rM, said he enjoyed his earlier visit here and is looking foward to coming back. jin usual, tn 3 proceed in If be coi uirsday.

Policy rates approved by the Senate are $192 for a single stu dent, $481 for a student with one dependent and $675 for a student with two or more depen dents. There is no deductible with the policy. The original resolution called for a deductible of $100 with rates approximately $25 lower per person. The policy approved during the 1981-82 school yeai was de clared illegal by the federal gov ernment because of an optional maternity clause. Now, materni ty coverage is considered an ill-. ness and policy. f Victor’s Desktop Business Computer System Businesses today face a basic dilemma when it comes to selecting a computer. So-called “personal” computers have limited power and capacity. They’re just too small to be use ful to most businesses. And the larger mini computers are more expensive. Victor has a solution to that dilemma. The Victor 9000 Business Com puter is priced under $4,000 Like a “personal." Yet the Victor 9000 has a capacity that rivals the expen sive minis. A close look at the chart shows you just how the Victor 9000 compares. The Victor gives you the kind of memory and storage capacity business applications demand. Much more than the IBM Per sonal Computer, the Apple III or their competitors.
