ALL ABOARD. With 6,600 parking slots and 12,000 registered vehicles, the University’s transit system is suppose to relieve some of the parking problems on campus. Although students complained about the University’s parking situation, officials claimed that every day there were 500 vacant spaces along Razorback Road. STAFF PHOTO BOOK SCANDAL? When students purchase books at the beginning of the semester, the thought of being ripped off doesn’t cross their minds. Although reality hits when they sell the books back for a fraction of the original price. D.

FROM BIBLE STUDY GROUPS TO GOSPEL CHOIRS, STUDENTS TURN TO RELIGION FOR FELLOWSHIP AND a m p u s groups, such as Inspirational Singers and Campus Crusade helped students grow closer to Christ. AFTERNOON VERSE.. Amy Abbot and Greg Hodges, stu¬ dents from the Baptist Student Union, look up a scripture in the Bible. The two students were pre¬ paring to retaliate Brother Jim ' s comments about a Bible verse. R. ROBERTSON PHOTO BY KIM TRACEY Through the dimly lit halls of Fulbright Hall, residents were greeted with the sweet song of the gospel. The Inspirational Singers, which often rehearsed in Fulbright Hall, was a contemporary gospel choir and one of several reli¬ gious groups on campus. Freshman Pamela Hayes, a member of the choir, believed the group was a true inspiration. “Our goal is not only to entertain our audience, but it’s also to lift the audience up and let the Lord come into their lives,” Hayes said. “Once people hear our performance it makes a lasting impression.” Hayes said participating in the Inspirational Singers made her more patient and understanding. Another organization committed to evangelism and disci- pleship was the Campus Crusade. Senior Debbie Robertson said this group helped her grow close to Christ. “Campus Crusade provided me a group of friends who be¬ lieved the same beliefs as I do,” Robertson said. “It provided fellowship and personal growth.” As a freshman, Susan Hudson searched for a Christian group that would allow her to grow and help others. “I was looking for a Christian organization to join and Campus Crusade appealed to me because I was being challenged to grow in my walk with Christ,” Hudson said. In its second year, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, an interdenominational group, allowed members to share the gospel. “It is a neat fellowship,” senior Brenda Johns said. “It is a time to share with friends, my beliefs and faith.” Another group, TNT, met once a week to study the Bible. Junior Anna Wilson believed TNT was an outstanding way to learn about God’s word. “The speakers talk about the biblical answers I always wanted to know, “ Wilson said. “The people are like me, and are all searching together and have lots of fun.. Some students were not involved in Christian organizations, but attended church. Freshman Kari Kennedy often went to church with her sorority sisters. “It makes me feel good to know that I can be close to God wherever I go, and it is a wonderful way to start off the week.” • Religion 19

Heads I stepped off a UA Tran¬ sit bus, crossed in front of the bus while it waited for the other exiting students, and was hit by a car that was passing the bus in the other lane. I really thought it was safe to cross in front of the bus when it was waiting for the pas¬ sengers to unload and exit. I learned the hard way. In fact, the guy who hit me didn’t even get a ticket because it’s legal to pass on Leverett Street. I guess it’s legal to mow pedestrians down like squir¬ rels as well. The accident rear¬ ranged my whole life. SHELLEY STEELE I think evaluating teachers in the middle of the se¬ mester is necessary if we are pay¬ ing for our education. We have a right to know what we are getting for our money. The University should provide teacher evalution records, so students could look up teachers before they sign up to take their classes. The system now doesn’t help students, there’s no use in the teacher evalutions. MIKE HORTON I don’t know if I am get- ting the education I’m paying for. For what the students pay for tui¬ tion, it shouldn’t cost as much as it does. WILLIAM LINEBERRY .
