University Daily Kansan, September 5. 1980 Page 5 Crusade From page 1 propositions," said Tim Miller, lecturer in religious studies at KU. Lyn Taymor, chairman of the department of religious studies, said, "When you can reduce all knowledge about the ultimate to four steps it is possible that they get comfort from it, more power to them." Richard Quebedeaux of Berkeley, Calif., a longtime student of evangelical movements and the author of "I Found II!: The Story of Bill Bright and Campus Cruse," said, "You read their first book ("The Four Laws") and the second book, "Have You Made the Wonderful Discovery of the Holy Spirit") and you have it all. "They don't read much, even their own magazines, and they read Bibles without commentary or explanation. The Four Truths are just-first-base evangelism." THE CREUSADE has no ties to any established church, and it seeks to work with local churches to interest people in Christ. Pete Brosiamsi, area director for the Campus Crusade for Christ, leads a tour of local churches. We have no design to take away from a church. We are there to help.* Fred Holliman, pastor of the Faith Southern Baptist Church, 1629 W. 19th St., said, "We have had a good working relationship with them. They are very committed people and their beliefs are pretty similar to Southern Baptist, so there are no doctrinal problems." UNLIKE FUNDAMALIST religious organizations like the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority, Campus Crusade has no political orientation. The small alligator has found its way onto almost everything from shorts and shirts to belts and hats. Its popularity accounts for sales of more than 60 shirts bearing the alligator each day in Lawrence, clothing store managers say. 'If the organization came out and endorsed a candidate, 'I'd leave it today. 'Brosmaeli said. "The only way to change society is to change individuals, not by changing political systems," he said. According to movement members, the Crusade has no plans to telewise its message. This is mainly because of a lack of a good television evangelist, Quebedeaux said. "Bright no hafair. He is not a colorful person at all," he said. The crusade has some radio programs in the United States and in Third World countries. It broadcasts in 21 languages and has one aimed at the People's Republic of China. Reptiles wallow on shirts, not in water Qaiebdeaeux said he thought Bright and his Crusade were sincere and were doing a worthy job of bringing God to the world, but was skeptical of its success. "It is a systematic approach to evangelism that Bill has, that he can change the world." Quebedeaux said. "But it won't happen. It never has." BEN BIGLER/Kansan staff Alligator boom hits Lawrence By ELIZABETH MORGAN Staff Reporter Once they were on the endangered species list, they were seen at the polo lawns, where they had been practicing their tennis. Gradually, their population increased. One had to look, but they were there. Not camouflaged at all—just sewn on all sorts of different colors. Suddenly, the species seemed to double, then triple its numbers. They were seen in bars and on the street. Now they seem to be anywhere. Is it something to be concerned about? Not unless the Izod shirts are beginning to bother you. Jeff Hawkins, half-owner and manager of Mr. Guy, 922 Massachusetts St., a Lawrence clothing store, said yesterday that when KU students were in town, the store sold 20 to 30 of the shirts a day. Greg Ketchum, manager of Alvaram Pro Shop, also of Lawrence, estimates that with its latest promotion, the shop sells from 40 to 60 shirts a day. Hawkins the alligator shirts have been popular for years, "but the last four years But it is not just shirts. For those who can't get enough, Izod sells allels on clothing from tennis dresses to belts, tennis shorts to socks. THE ALLIGATOR competes for the green with a fox—a similar shirt with a狐fox instead of an alligator marketed by J.C. Penney. The man who makes the sales says they sell from 10 to 30 shirts a day. Hawkins says a French tennis player, Rene LaCoste, wanted to play tennis in a cooler shirt. So in 1946, LaCoste patented the LaCoste Weave, or mesh, that is still used for the shirts. His favorite animal was used as the trademark. Izod shirts can be purchased for $14 or $15, but some of them can cost as much as $30 and $60. KETCHUM ATTRIBUTES the shirts' popularity to the "prep look" in fashion. He says the illigator insignia does sell the shirt, but thinks the Izod shirt is still a good product. Ketchn with Izod accounts for 17 percent or overreach in the United States, and is reaching for 21 percent. Some students are doing more than their share to keep the alligator population flourishing by buying more than one of the shirts. Marie Miller, Del Mar, Calif., senior, says she has four, but bought them all five years ago. She says she bought them because they are "comfortable, practical. You can wear them with anything. They're just a nice, simple shirt." She would have bought them with or without the alligator, she says, and she thinks the stereotypes associated with the shirts are When questioned, several students said they thought of the shirts as fraternity and sorority status symbols, although they didn't consider them exclusive to the groups. "A lot of people are threatened by the idea of classed the 'shirt'," George Calvert, New Yorker. SOME ANTI-ENVIRONMENTALISTS have been able to decrease in the alligator population again after a successful drug trial. It is possible to buy a stuffed aligator wearing a T-shirt with a human on it. Montgomery Ward, 23rd and Oaushd streets have three-inch plaid laurel alligator pins. At Carousel, 711 W, 23rd S, a clothing store, ceramic pins made to look exactly like the alligator can be bought for $5. One student, wearing a four-inch, three-dimensional rubber alligator fastened to his T-shirt with pins, claims it is "a family heir." He says the shirts are too expensive. "These shirts are from K-Mart. People don't buy them, but the alligator can put on this on my shirts."
