The song “Love Song for a Savior” is based on the book Death by Child Abuse by Ursula Sunshine. Haseltine read the book in high school and was touched by the hope of the main character through turmoil. During their beginning success, the band would receive calls to their dorm room from record companies wanting to sign them. In a rel atively short time, Jars of Clay had broken into the music scene. Their first album. Jars of Clay, was certified double platinum, and six years later Jars of Clay is one of the most recognized and decorated con temporary Christian crossover bands. Some of their awards include 15 Dove Award nominations and the 1997 and 1998 “Group of the Year.” Now Jars of Clay will make the trek to Col lege Station to perform on the Texas A&M cam pus as part of the Resurrection Week [Resweek] 2000 activities. Resweek is a student-run organization that hosts a week of activities throughout campus in order to educate students about their ministry. Bajan Nouri, a senior political science major and the president of Resweek, said there are some staples of the event that do not change. “We always have a concert of some type,” Nouri said. “We always have a drama presenta tion of the crucifixion of Christ and we always have a guest speaker.” One of Resweek’s biggest concerns is that not enough people are aware of their efforts. “There are people on this campus that have never heard of Resweek, even though we have been around for five years,” Nouri said. This year, Resweek organizers and the Aggie Men’s Club [AMC] worked together to bring Jars of Clay to A&M. Rob Kingsbury, a sophomore finance major and AMC representative, said he thinks the part nership between AMC and Resweek can bring only positive things fof both organizations. “This concert is special because it unites dis- cipleship that we emphasize with the ministry as pect that Resweek emphasizes,” Kingsbury said. Kingsbury said that this is not their first year to host a concert, but this year is especially unique. “Jars of Clay is a band that is different because PHOTO COURTESY OF JARS OF CLAY Jars of Clay is (clockwise from top) Matt Odmark, Dan Haseltine, Charlie Lowell ; and Steve Mason. it plays all kinds of music and appeals to all dif ferent types of people,” Kingsbury said. Nouri said the opportunity to bring this band to campus has will help his organization. “We are really excited that we can bring a ban$ this popular to campus,” Nouri said.
