Graham has come a long way since then, and campus Christian organizations arc hoping the internationally known minister will have an even greater impact on college students when he returns 1 w April 25-May 2. "Billy Graham is a worldwide i I _ r ? ?? symuui ui evangelism, said Terry Brown, the state coordinator for Campus Crusade for Christ. "This is a great opportunity for our different Christian student groups to use the crusade as an outreach tool to reach students for Christ at USC." The crusade not only helps people to learn about Christ, Brown said, but also draws ? Christians on campus together. ) W "When you look at the overall, big picture, it's a testimony that Christians can work together for a common cause," he said. He said groups have cosponsorcd several events on campus in preparation for the crusade, including a rally at the Baptist Stu1 dent Union two weeks ago and 1 weekly prayer meetings Tuesdays i at 12:30 p.m. in the Russell uai ten ' ?

With Prayer Triplets, three people pray for nine friends to accept Christ, while Operation Andrew is a plan for Christians i to invite seven friends to the crusade. "I think the crusade will help us make Jesus more of an issue at USC," Laughton said. "The visibility and acceptance of the crusadc. as well as the whole ecumenical year at USC, has helped some of our more timid people learn to share their faith. It's really provided a more natural avenue for them. "We're really excited about how the Billy Graham Crusade could impact the campus for Christ, and help us grow spiritually, too, by working together and witnessing the power of prayer."

"We don't anticipate making money or breaking even. We're not here to make money," Daniels said. Students have already paid for CPU-sponsored programs through activities tees, he said. Therefore, money made or not made from this year's outdoor concert featuring Survivor and Jason and the Scorchers will not determine whether or not the CPU will have another big concert.

CPU's Contemporary Sounds committee that sponsors concerts, was allocated $16,300 for the 1986-87 academic year. In addition to the outdoor concert, Contemporary Sounds has sponsored concerts by The Call and Beat Rodeo this school year.

Daniels said Contemporary Sounds will probably not be in debt from this concert. "We planned and budgeted so we won't have those deficits." Daniels said the diversity of the two bands may or may not have been a factor in the lack of student attendance. "I think that can work one of two ways," he said, adding that diversity could draw in more people, but on the other hand it could keep some away who like one band, but not the other. idents attempt Sidewalk Cafe senior Carlie Schwager said, "Everyone complains.
