Miss L'Engle's book, A WRIN- KLE IN TIME, won the New- berry Award for children's books. 28 Concerts Contemporary, Classics: from fundamental to fictions Found Free The first concert of the spring semester featured Found Free, a five-member band that ministers through song, humor, and story. The January 17 concert, sponsored by the Activities Board, enter- tained about 150 students. The group's music varied from country western to gospel rock. The humor and stories forced the students to look at themselves and evaluate their faith. Found Free, recently experiencing major personnel changes, was still writing songs and learning new material to perform. Madeleine L'Engle Throughout her series of lectures, Madeleine L'Engle caused students to think about the relationship between faith and art. Tom Quick Editor of Christianity Today, Dr. Kenneth Kantzer, presents to the students the topic Evangelicals Face the 80's. Despite a Monday night snowstorm, school was not cancelled so students could attend the meet- Ings. 1 Miss L'Engle presented story as a vehicle of truth. Although her Christian philo- sophy is a part of her writing, she never sets out to write a Christian book. She said that an artist must be a servant to his gift, which, for a Christian would include obeying the Spirit. As an author of children's literature, she finds that chil- dren are often able to under- stand concepts that adults can't grasp. Her children's book, A Wrinkle in Time won the Newbury Medal for most distinguished contribution to children's literature. Dr. Kenneth Kantzer Editor of Christianity Today, Dr. Kenneth S. Kantzer, appeared in chapel and special sessions February 10-11, as part of the Thomas F. Staley Christian Scholarship Lecture Program. Kantzer addressed such issues as the future for Evan- - gelicals in the 1980's, Moral Majority, and how to be a Christian leader. Questions about Jerry Fal- well and Moral Majority were answered in the Monday after- noon sessions by Kantzer. He commented that both Falwell and Moral Majority have begun to mature. We are grateful that Falwell stood up for moral values and evan- gelicals, said Kantzer. Kantzer also discussed the future of Christian colleges and the plight of mainline churches. Kantzer pointed out that in all areas We, as evangelicals, have a need for hungry hearts. Most of all, we must be true to Christ. e g Howard Tripp
