40 countries on four continents.
His appearances have included
sermons in Scandinavia, Rus-
sia, Germany, the Canal Zone,

Young, president of Pepper-
dine College since 1957, will dis-

Five Central Texans
Take Advisory Posts
Abilene Christian College, West
Texas State, and the University
of Texas.
Jack Franks, a radio announc-
er in Lampasas, Is another ad-
visor. He is a deacon at the
First Street congregation
Lenard R. McLaughlin, a ru-
ral mail carrier in Georgetown,
is also an adviser. He is an el-
der at the Georgetown church. ,
Also an advisor is Maurice A.
Weed, an Austin construction
engineer. He ia an elder at the
Northside church in Austin. Cur-
tis F. Burch of Temple la also
an advisor. •‘ s, ,
Because we believe
that our faith in Jesus
Christ and His Church was
not only worth His death,
but his death is worth our
faith, we must witness to .
these students in higher
education about this price-
less faith. Their open, in-
quiring spirit to search
fearlessly for the truth pro-
vides Him wro was the
Way, the Truth, and the
Life with His greatest op-
portunity for Christian edu-
cation. ,
If we limit our under-
standing about the size of
Christian education to our Christian colleges, we ignore
where the majority of students attend college or univer-
sity. Now, nearly 7 out of 10 of all the students in higher
education attend publicly supported schools.
Our Christian colleges do a tremendous job of bring-
ing the influence of Jesus Christ to bear, upon their
students. Yet, as many students as our Christian colleges
influence,' only a minority ever see a Christian college
campus.
As on any state campus, The University of Texas ex-
poses each student to the presently exploding spectrum
of ideas in a most dynamic, intellectual environment. In
this climate, a student receives either a stimulating chal-
lenge for his faith to expand or—without adequate stimu-
lus—^ frustrating trauma which provokes him to re-
nounce it all. More than the presence of the institution,
the absence of enough Christians who believe that their
faith, makes any living difference overwhelms a student
in a spiritual vacuum.
; Under the direction of the elders of the University 0
Ave. church in Austin, the Biblical Studies Center exists ooo is expected. More than 70
teachers will be in charge of
around 90 classes, with 600 class
sessions scheduled.

lege Church of Christ in Abilene
