A memorable experience Reoioecl by God by Camille Lohse College years hold many times of growing and memo- rable experiences. Perhaps one of the most treasured memories in many students, minds is that of retreats. Retreats are planned twice a year by brother-sister wings in order to get away from campus and its pressures, and get closer to Cod. There are times of sharing, praising, and times for just listening on these trips. It is a time of refreshing and en- riching onels rela- tionship with the Lord. It is also a time for growing closer to one another as well. Games, skits, talks and even practical jokes add to the growth that takes place. It is a time to become a family -- true brothers and sisters in Christ. By being able to be oneself in a variety of ways, bonds of love form that can never be broken. This also gives one a chance to observe all the unique indi- viduals our Cod has created. Drama students, foreign stu- dents, RA. is and Chaplains also take retreats. These are times of sharing talents and dreams, as well as sharing frustrations and disappointments. Words of en- couragement and inspiration are shared in order to up- lift one another to continue on in what- ever ministry they are involved. Sponsors are an important part of making retreats as valuable as they are. By sharing of their own wisdom and ex- periences, students are able to apply this knowledge to their own lives. Students are then able to learn from the failures and successes of another man or woman of Cod. Retreats are indeed special times from which every partici- pant comes back just a little bit different as they begin to see more of the wonder of Cod and their fellow man. p Retreats 29

A time to stand up and cheer C hristicm Hoyt Cazaway The term, Contemporary Christian Musicf, is an oversim- plification, for about the only thing all Christian musicians have in common is that they sing unto the Lordf, They come in all sha es, sizes, styles and backgrounfs. Student Asso- ciation Chairman jeff Smith arranged a number of on- campus concerts for student en- tertainment at low cost. i'In choosing the artists, we tried to select those with the widest appeal among the students. We had artists with a variety of styles: rock as well as mellow, male and female, soloists and bands. We tried to bring back artists whom the students liked from past years as well as bringing in new perform- ers. Kicking off the concert season Artists on campus were Denny Correll and Benny Hester. Before becom- ing a Christian, Correll had been in a rock group that had risen to the top in the early 70,s. His newer Christian music retains the fresh, crisp flavor of the musical style in which he grew up. Hester and his band have the distinction of being one of the first Christian groups to have a song cross over from the Christian to the Top 40 Charts with Nobody Knows Me like You. At the Mabee Center, one ofthe biggest Christian concerts in Tulsa history was held on December 11. The SA, in cooperation with KCFO radio, brought Reba Ram- bo and Dony McGuire to perform their Crammy Award winning choral piece, The Lordis Prayer. Farrell and Farrell entertain a full house at the Mabee Center with a number of their songs. Among their latest hits is Let the W'l1ole World Know, Christian concerts 30
