Campus Church Drive Holds First Meeting
A crusade to promote student church affiliation begins tonight.
The Campus Crusade for Christ, an interdenominational group being organized for the first time on a Kansas campus, will hold its first meeting at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union.
Tonight's speaker, John Flack, is a 1956 graduate of English from Princeton University, and he holds a masters degree in theology from the Dallas Theological Seminary. He is said to speak to over 50 schools per year. He will spend about two weeks at KU participating in the program.
John Flack, the national representative of the Crusade, will speak.
John Flack, the national representative of the Crusade, will speak. "There are over 1600 KU students who have listed no religious preference," said Jim Hiskey, the midwest director of the Crusade.
Hiskey is a graduate of the University of Houston. Formerly of Houston, Texas, he is now a Lawrence resident.
protect. Sale Ann Haisley, the marketing director of the Orsadue "Our big mission is to reach the students not active in any religious group. We have no membership as such. We are just trying to get students into churches."
Campus Crusade for Christ is designed to be led by one man on each university campus and organized through students.
It was founded 11 years ago by William Bright, a businessman, shortly after he graduated from the University of Oklahoma. He built his program on the ground that Christianity and consequent salvation were most important items.
Hiskey will be the leader of the group at KU. Charles F. Weinaug, professor of petroleum engineering, is the Crusade's faculty sponsor. Other KU directors include Mr. and Mrs. Stan Ament, staff representatives of the Crusade's national office.
He felt that no one had ever talked to him about Christianity, and that it would have made a difference to him if someone had. So, using a businesslike salesman's approach, he and a group of men went into a fraternity at U.C.L.A. and Campus Crusade began.

Six youngsters have organized a teen-age band. Since school work keeps them home week nights, the teen-agents have devised their own method of getting together — by telephone.
The band's head man, eighth grader Don Friedsam, will call a member of the band and they test chords and rhythms until a party line or a mother halts the session.
