Brothers Under Christ (BYX),
a Christian fraternity, hosted its
sixth annual Island Party Satur
day on the Polo Fields, drawing
a crowd of more than 9,000 peo
ple throughout the day.
Island Party festivities in
cluded jousting using inflatable
weapons, volleyball and 11
hours of live music. Plumb, the
waiting. Chasing Furries, Rob
bie Seay, nickel and dime and
SHANE&SHANE performed
throughout the day.
Brack Bryant, vice president
of BYX and a junior accounting
and finance major, said the
event is an outreach to the cam
pus and the community to pre
sent the gospel of Jesus Christ.
“Island Party is designed to
have people come out, enjoy a
fun day and to hear the message
of Jesus Christ,” he said. “We
just wanted people to come out
and have a good time.”
Robin Blakely, owner of Vi-
sionquest, an organization that
promotes Christian athletes, and
Bruce Johnson, director of J.H.
Ranch, spoke to the crowds
about having a relationship with
Jesus Christ.
Each year a member of BYX
gives a religious testimony to
the audience. This year, Dean
Pickard, a junior bioenviron-
mental sciences major, gave his
testimony.
“In my life, I have learned
that God loves me even when I
haven’t actively pursued him,”
he said. “God is good, and even
through my trials, God has pro
vided.”
Pickard said Island Party ful
filled his desire to see God’s
work.
“Every year weather fore
casts predict that it is going to
rain on the day of Island Party,
and every year God provides us
with a rain-free day,” he said.
“This year it began raining at
12:05 [a.m. Sunday], just five
minutes after the official end of
Island Party,” he said.
Bryant said BYX was origi
nally established at the Univer
sity of Texas, which included Is
land Party in the organization’s
constitution.
“The founders of BYX felt it
was necessary to have an out
reach ministry every year,” he
said. “They wanted BYX to be
more than just fellowship.”

U.S., allies plan to increase airstrikes on Serb militanpw«
A He of Admissi
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
American and allied air armada
broadened its attacks on Yugoslavia
on Sunday to target Serb military
forces in Kosovo, raising the risk to
NATO pilots but also holding the
promise of more effective airstrikes.
President Clinton said “the contin
ued brutality and repression of the
Serb forces further underscores the
need for NATO to persevere.”
The Pentagon and NATO were
officially mum on what brought
down an Air Force F-117A stealth
fighter-bomber near the Yugoslav
capital on Saturday. A senior de
fense official, however, said there
are strong indications it was hit by
a surface-to-air missile, possibly the
Soviet-made SA-3 air defense mis
sile.
The official, speaking on condi
tion of anonymity, said there was
no reported mechanical problem
but an explosion was heard. NATO
officials, without referring to the F-
117A, said SA-3 missiles were fired
Saturday.
At the White House, Clinton met
with his top national security aides
and said he had talked with leaders
of several NATO allies, including
British Prime Minister Tony Blair
and French Premier Jacques Chirac.
“All of them share our determi
nation to respond strongly to Mr.
Milosevic’s continuing campaign of
inhumane violence against the
Kosovar Albanian people,” Clinton
told reporters. “That is what we in
tend to do.” Clinton said he strong
ly supported NATO’s decision to
step up its air campaign in Kosovo.
Without specifically mentioning
Saturday’s loss of an F-117A, Clin
ton said he had warned from the
start of “real risks” in NATO’s con
frontation in the sky over Yu
goslavia. “But the continued bru
tality and repression of the Serb
forces further underscores the need
for NATO to persevere,” he said.
As he stepped away from the
podium, Clinton was asked
whether the NATO bombings were
a driving force behind the escalat
ing atrocities in Kosovo. “Absolute
ly not,” Clinton replied.

ty was not made public, was re
