In Australia, Ihad the opportunity of meeting people and telling of Gods love? e Brandon Morgan wWalking through y the time I was ready to leave, I had already made plans to come back, said Alex Fagen referring to the summer Venezuela campaign. Students participated in six different campaign efforts. Venezuela campaigns, directed by Bill and Ava Conley, and In- ternational Campaigns, overseen by Don Shackleford and Tom Eddins, were just two of the four overseas campaign groups. Abilene Christian University organized the other overseas campaign and let our students participate in the larger groups of Christian students from other campuses. It t .covered countries from Europe to South L America with Harding directors, Ron and , Faye Detan. The final overseas campaign, to Kenya, was held only during the sum- mer months of alternating years. They were sponsored by Van Tate. Crossing oceans.

Some cam- paigns required that participants speak the native language of the country, but most participants could just teach in English. All foreign campaigners returned with a changed world-view. Fagen said, ItSeeing the Venezuelan culture changed my percep- tion on America. I now want to know what is going on in the world because those are actually real people over there. Changes also occurred in the lives of stateside campaigners. Northeast, South- east and Northwest campaigns were spon- sored by Ross Cochran, but were under the overall direction of Owen Olbricht, a Christian evangelist. However more im- mediate leadership came from senior Garth Hutchinson. tiCampaigns have given me a new way to looking at people and thinking about life, he said. N early every participant agreed that one of the biggest changes campaigns made were the increase of their own faith and desire to learn. Debbie Lape, an England and Wales campaigner, said, uIt increased my own faith because I had to share it with others. . ghetty gate opted 66!

IK , le 5mm ieuaiwwm a . Excitement llWeekends always give me a chance to rest u from a hard week of studies 1,; letting loose and having fun. - Caroline Gist hile homework, projects and term papers filled some weekends, most weekends were designed for fun. The Stu- dent Association offered movies on Friday and Saturday nights for under $2 .00 admis- sion fee. They also brought live entertain- ment to the campus such as the Wright Brothers, juggler Edward Jackman, and comedian Andy Andrews. uEdward Jackman was funny, exciting. enjoyable and everything else rolled up in to one. His bizarre style of being a juggler and comedian combined made his show fantastic. I especially enjoyed when he balanced the lO-speed bike on his head and when he juggled a bowling ball, machete, and apple all at once. It was so crazy that it was funny! said Kathy Orme. However students sometimes wanted off campus. They would go to the Rialto or the Rand for Searcy entertainment or McCain Mall for North Little Rock entertainment. llWhen I needed a break from Searcy Stuffing her face.

Worth, TX, in the back of a cramped Toyota, to see my girlfrrend. Because I found a ride home, I just couldnit pass up the opportunity, said Scott Kirkpatrick. Despite the fun times the weekends of- fered, sometimes homework and laundry jsut could not be avoided. The prime time for laundry was Sunday afternoon about one olclock as the students packed in with their clothes trying to find an empty washer. On Sunday nights after church, students almost always did homework. thDespite if I studied all weekend or played all weekend I always had some homework to do after Sunday night church? Graham Leighton. No matter how students spent their weekend, weekends were looked forward to and usually enjoyed. Ilqve to 90 011th mm onithe weekends!
