Delegates will also learn about different A&M organi zations and meet other Christian student leaders in small “breakout” groups. “We’re one way to help promote unity among Aggies,” Winslow said. Jason Hoyt, a senior finance major and a conference del egate for Brothers Under Christ (BYX), is attending the con ference for many of the same reasons. “My personal goal is unity among organizations and see ing God work through people this weekend,” Hoyt said. Hoyt said he also wanted to attend his first CLC to bet ter represent his organization to other Christian leaders. “BYX has a reputation for being secluded and to itself focused on our own activities,” he said. “1 want to go and meet other Christian leaders on campus and see the w hole campus reached for Christ... this is a great unification for Christians on campus to reach our goal of spreading gospel."

Private schools cost an aver-’ age S15,000 per year; public col leges charge about $3,300 annu ally. About seven million U.S. college students receive some sort of aid. About 60 percent of the help a student gets to pay these bills comes from loans that average $3,000 a year, while grants make up less than 40 per cent of available aid. “If college becomes a luxu ry that an increasing percentage of our population cannot afford, it w ill expand the economic di vide between the higher educa tion haves and have-nots and stunt our economic growth,” said Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D- Conn., the committee’s top De mocrat. Rising student loan debt is another concern, said Jamie Pueschel, a lobbyist with the United States Student A ssocia- tion who told lawmakers that government budget surpluses should be used to boost grant programs. “I have little ability to save money and have no idea when I will be able to afford a car let alone buy a house,” said Pueschel, who has a $19,000 debt and $25,000 annual in come.
