‘Josh is coming’
to talk about love
by Susan Poole
Battalion Reporter
Josh McJDowell, a traveling
lecturer with the Campus Cru
sade for Christ, will speak
tonight at 8 in Rudder Audi
torium for an audience that has
been alerted for weeks that
“Josh is coming.”
McDowell said Wednesday he
will speak on being a good lover.
“How to be a good lover
could well be one of the most
important talks any college stu
dent could hear,” McDowell
said.
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.”

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.

Battalion Staff
At their meeting Wednesday
night, the Student Senate
approved a Student Insurance
Resolution bid that they will re
commend to the Texas A&M
Office of Insurance and Risk
Management.
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.

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.
