‘Good News” for Northwood Via Student Group While other organizations were pass- ing out letters to students on registra- tion day, Student Christian Coalition members passed out ‘‘“Good News’’— a New Testament in today’s English. That evening the Fellowship of the Unashamed, came to present a musical entitled “Love.” The Upstairs to the Upstairs, North- wood’s Christian student center, was remodeled with a couch, chairs, tables, a shag rug and a piano. Among the SCC’s activities were two retreats, par- ticipation in a national college confer- ence (Challenge Unlimited) and a trip to Bloomington to hear a concert with Pat Boone. A new Christian organization was formed this year—the Fellowship of Christian athletes, a part of Campus Crusade for Christ. There were regular meetings and once a month members attended an area church as a delega- tion. = NN ZAN Upper right | Joana Turner passes out one of the more than 300 New Testaments to Karen Olszew- ski.

Politics and '72 Election at Northwood Politics played an important part of the student life at Northwood this year. 1972 was an active year for politicians all over the country and Northwood students had many oppor- tunities for participation. There were active clubs and committees which worked diligently to produce a winner in the 1972 election. Northwood even has its own distinguished politicians. Larry Beatty ran for the office of auditor of Orange County. Randy Kimery was on the Central Republican Committee in Marion County. Joana Turner, the youngest person in the state to do so, served on the Orange County Central Democrat Committee.
