The Campus Crusade staff on the t'.'.r campus proposes Christianity as the formula for "getting it all together," ar.i their job is to follow up the decree of their motto -to spread the "good nev.y" This evangelical team is sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ Intern jtionsl which began on the UCLA campus in 151. Since then, CCC has grown to more than 300 campuses and 45 foreign countries with a full-time staff of 3,000. It began on this campus in the Spnrg of 1969. Present campus director Ken Reid explained, "There was a nucleus of students here, and the staff came to g re direction to the interest." The present staff is composed of three women and three men with college degrees and backgrounds from all over the country. Bruce n n t n s Wolf e msi "Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers" by Tom Wolfe. Bantam Paperback, October, 1971. 1 84 pages. S1.25. Tom Wolfe's unique writing, exercised pointedly in these two recent articles, is the best American contribution to world art since jazz. In many ways Wolfe's body of work is a modern literary parallel to this musical mode of expression: both arts exercise free and original form determined by strong personal vision, an almost eerie sense of modernity, and a profound Americanism. Wolfe 'plays' Ins typewriter with no less imagination than Charlie Parker played his sax and the result, no less artistic, is even more accessible. In "Radical Chic" Wolfe examines (and names) a current Upper White New York Society movement. Radical Chic is a very complex and self-contradictory state of Liberal limbo between psyche-bound Classy Living, with all its economic and cultural suggestions, and sympathycondescensionguilt, in short fascination, withtofor the Oppressed "primitive, exotic, and romantic" radical element of modern society. Obviously a very difficult, pathetic, and terribly funny position. Wolfe was a guest at a Radical Chic party, a phenomenon circulating through New York in which radicals were invited to chic homes for evenings of "discussion." What actually happened at the parties was the satisfaction of the hosts, who were entertained by the funkyness and their own "nowness" and "concern," and the financial paying-off to the guests, who always needed and accepted money for the task of bombarding their hosts with guilt. This particular party was the Radical Chic Party given by Leonard Bernstein for the Black Panthers. The Panthers, of course, epitomize everything worshipped and feared by the 9 s s 8 I AT 5 I nl 149 4- E.

Therefore, "To become a staff member, ea.h of us has raised our own financial support by talking with interested individuals, clubs, and churches," Nancy Lytle explained. "It was really amazing. All I had to do was to talk with people, tell them what I needed and why, and they pledged the support. Mint came a week early," added Annette. Brooks Radical Chic. Wolf milks the party for all of its considerable worth, pitting peace-medallioned cashmere turtlenecks against fatigue-jacketed Young Buck shoulders in a sympathetic, never vicious, but honestly absurd staging of ideologies. The Radical Chic's hopeless position is brought out fully in the post-party events as chronicled by Wolfe. The press laughs, the radicals roar, and the Liberals scorn the "parlor Pantherism" and "elegant slumming" of the party. Bernstein, still beh.'ving in his goodness-of-conviction, is no less perplexed than he is bombarded. And the Radical Chic is no less absurd than it is sincere. The second article deals with the "Mau-Mauing" (Funky up. Get Nasty, and Go Scare the Shit and Money out of Whitey) of the "Flak Catchers" (tab-collared, absorbent no. 2 Men thrown out by beseiged Civil Authorities for appeasement of the Black Rage). The Blacks, Chicanes, and Samoans are schooled by ace I'unkies in their ghettoes in the art of playing Bad-Ass for convincing Government men that they and their areas are right for federal money, which is doled out gladly and ineffectually to anyone passing as a "Leader". Wolfe presents several confrontations, the most ingenious and entertaining of which is the invasion of City Hall by a Black man and the "YOUTH OF Till: PUTURH," an army of sweets-bearing children whose wild stickiness threatens the marbled Whiteness of the baroque bureaucracy. All of the situations reflect Whiteness being guiltily and willingly duped by the powers of Blackness. Wolfe often resembles Lenny Bruce in his brilliant insight and blackish humor, but where Bruce was bitter and victimized Wolfe is cool and delightedly uninvolved. This book Ls testament that his sociological-cultural art is the best of its kind. iful p i FRANKLIN ST. continued, "wt ve':e'.e G -l w.1! p::iie the finances we need." The J:n"t w :-rr about money.

Quality, not quurms . h our c-.a!." Sandy commented. "But as ou add quality, the quantity is bound to come." Nancv added. "We tej.h people to teach others -It's a multiplication process." For the purpose of building, the Campus Crusade Staff sponsors College Life, a Christian fellowship, every two weeks. On each alternate week there is a Bible study with more than 200 students participating. Currently, there is a Leadership Training Class being held for five weeks for in depth study of living a more consistent Christian life and more effective sharing of faith. Also, the staff plans to take about 250 UNC students with them t a retreat in Gatlinburg, Tenn. They will join over 700 others from the University ot South Carolina and from the University of Tennessee the weekend of Oct. 15. "Josh McDowell will be the key speaker. He toured Latin America for two years debating and presenting the terms of Christ on fr-e speech platforms. He just took them over. He's a powerful person and speaker," Reid said. Kleinknecht added. "The conference is open to anyone, but after Oct. 10 we are not responsible for room arrangements." The major project of this year is LXPLO '72, a conference that will' fill the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, in June. "EXPLO is what we are moving to this year. We're excited about it because we believe God will guide 100.000 people, mostly students, to come to Dallas for a week of training," Nancy stated. It is to be the climax of several years of work. College Life meets Thursday night, at 206 McCauley. Interested students should call 967-2521 or 942-8307.

She has studied at Ann Halprin Studios in San Francisco and is now teaching children's dance at Bounds' Studios in Chapel Hill. Kitty said the workshop will be more structured than in the past so that students should sign up at the beginning of the sessions. "There will be a desire for progression from one session to the other," Kitty said.
