Conference teaches leadershij
Friday, Februa
BY ANN LOISEL
The Battalion
Fifty Texas A&M students will gather to team leadership
skills based on the life of Jesus Christ at the Christian Lead
ership Conference (CLC) this weekend.
“CLC is all about bringing together A&M students from
all walks of campus ... to learn how to lead a more Christ-
like life and apply that to their organizations and then later
on in life, too,” said Reagan Winslow, CLC chair and a se
nior finance major.
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."
Jessica Gerard, assistant director for CLC and ajar;
speech communication major, said speakers at thec«
once w ill address how to be better, Christ-like leaders
also better "w finesses” to Christ’s teachings.
The speakers include Randy Sims, director oil
View Academy; Dr. Fredrick A. Larson, a managemenip
lessor and krisli Overton-Johnson, a world-record hoi
in slalom w ater-skiing. 40 Days, a Dallas band, will*
worship services.
Students were selected by their organization!
signed up on an individual basis to attend the confere;
Gerard said.
Winslow said Jesus Christ is the perfect leader toe
late and is an example for leaders.
“1 picture Christ as a perfect, loving indiv idual who if
a blameless life ... never judged ... and died on the cross
us to save us from our sins,” he said. “He never comp
mised, even though he was unpopular. He never sirs
from his purpose he’s still known today,” Winslow a
Winslow first attended the conference two years;
as a delegate from his fraternity. Beta Theta Pi. Hesen
as an assistant director before becoming the currentO
director.
CLC will he held Friday through Sunday at CampL
estar in LaGrange, Texas.

has actually dropped 15 per
cent.
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.
