Fabulous Retreat!
Hufstedler Does It!
by Laura Plyler
Campus Christian Association
sponsored a rewarding and en
joyable time for all thoses were
able to go the Camp Caroline
Oct. 20-22. Forty-eight people
were rearing to go by 5:00 p.m.
Friday as four vans headed
toward Camp Caroline which is
located along the Neuse Rover.
The weahter was windy and
chilly, but the rain never inter
rupted the fun spent outdoors
playing football or just goofing
off. Everyone ate heartily, and
compliments were paid to the
cooks several times for the food
was a pleasant change for
cafeteria food. The overall
theme for the retreat was, “Are
you a living reminder?” The
group was challenged to be
Christlike so that they will
remind others of christ. From
the discussions the group was
taught the to be a living
reminder they must “Let go and
let God”. This meant that a
person must realize by his own
strength he will fail at obeying
God; therefore, he must allow
God to work in his life to make
him more like Christ. The time
spent sharing and fellowshiping
with each other was not only
relaxing but also refreshing.
If you see anyone around
campus who reminds you of
Christ, maybe it was one of
those who accepted and applied
the challenge taught on the fall
retreat at Camp Caroline.

Doonesbury
A Pulitzer Prize. The mayor of
the nation's capital declares a
day in its honor. Newspapers
across the country have chosen
not to publish it.
"Doonesbury," of course.
And on October 26, 1980. the
famed (and sometimes notor
ious) comic strip by G. B.
trudeau clelbrated its tenth
anniversary. What began a 'de
cade ago as a humorous look at
two archetypal collegians--
Michael J. Doonesbury and
B.D.-- has earned a reputation
for biting satire that focuses on
anyone in the cultural limelight,
from politicians, journalists and
authors to television shows,
football and lifestyle trends.
Trudeau, now 32. began his
work on a comic strip with "Bull
Tales," carried in the late '60s
by the Yale Daily News. The
strip was spotted and renamed
by James F. Andrews and John
P. McMeel, for founders of
Universal Press Syndicate,
which distributes the comic strip
to 600 newspapers in this coun
try and abroad.
Release
Initially, 28 newspapers
signed up for "D(K)nesbury.”
Helped by the comic strip's
reputation for irreverence and
brashness, the number of
clients grew steadily, attracting
a young and educated readers-
ship.
The comic strip has frequent
ly been the center of controversy
and has received considerable
attention for its treatments of
John Mitchell. Sen. John
Warner, Gov. Edmund G.
Brown and, just this week,
presidental candidate Ronald
Reagan. The comic strip has
also blazed new trails by intro
ducing a gay character and
exploring the lifestyle of single
people.
Trudeau remains a shy, re
ticent individual, and has stated
that he prefers to let this work
do the speaking for him. James
F. andrews, editor of Universal
Press Syndicate, and the man
who discovered "Doonesbury,"
summed up Trudeau as ef
fectively as anyone: “It was
clear he was a comic genius."
