o is'® Dick. Purnell, lecturer and
ifcunselor with Campus Crusade
for Christ, will be at fexas A&M
|)day through Thursday to
Sjpeak on developing self-worth
iml building better relation-
;sliips.
Learning about interper-
onal relationships is one of the
teatest needs college students
ave,” Purnell said. “They (stu-
lents) want to know as much as
ley can in this area — how to
■art relationships and how to
Jevelop them once they’ve
Jarted.
“Arelationship with someone
fthe opposite sex is more than
rst having fun, it’s learning ab-
luteach other. And many times
I lot of fear goes along w ith
ilUfliis.”
Purnell has a master’s degree
ii counseling from Indiana Uni-
lersity and has counseled many
j Students.
I Purnell, who was married less
^flhan a year ago, said he and his
f ife, Paula, travel together as a
lam.
I “Paula does a lot of speaking
Snd counseling too,” he said.'
|And she can relate to women in
I different way than I can. She
|lsohelps me with my lectures.”
Purnell will speak at 7 tonight
n Rudder Auditorium on how
tudents can develop a better
elf-image.
“Society tends to put too
uch emphasis on beauty, intel
ligence and status,” Purnell said.
|‘And because of this, we con-
neef
Purnell said all of his lectures
stress Christ as being the key to
successful relationships.
“Christ can help us develop
the best relationships possible,”
Purnell said. “We all have prob
lems, but the question is how do
we handle these problems? I
think having a personal relation
ship with Christ is the answer.”
Purnell’s lectures are spon
sored by Texas A&M Campus
Crusade for Christ.

tantly compare ourselves to
then, which results in frustra-
ion.”
Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Rud-
ler Auditorium, Purnell will
ijpscuss why couples break up.
Hi)! 1 If students can understand
ill khycouples break up, then they
an avoid those situations and
build stronger relationships, he
5* aid. Many times people idealize
what relationships should be like
and end up discouraged because
their dream world is shattered,
said.
At 8 p.m. Thursday in G. Rol-
lie White Coliseum, Purnell will
speak on sex and the search for
i^ intimacy.
“Sex can be a misleading area
for our real search for intima-
ry,” he said. “Sex doesn’t equal
^ intimacy.”
