FCA offers outreach for all students by Leigh Priester Staff Writer More than 300 bodies - Christians and non-Christians, athletes and non-athletes alike - packed into gym 307 of the Blatt P.E Center last Thursday night for the Fellow ship of Christian Athlete’s weekly meeting. “Its really neat seeing all these people coming together at USC with the same common goal of glorifying God,” president Gerrick Taylor said. FCA is a nondenominational, student-led, religious or ganization found on high school and college campuses across the nation. It’s purpose is “to present to athletes and coaches, and all whom they may influence, the challenge mid adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church,” Taylor said Many of FCA’s activities are centered around their athletic ministry. This includes activities like decorating lockers and prayer support for various USC teams. “If anything, I would love to reach more athletes than we have in the past,” Taylor said Although FCA is an athletic ministry, all students are welcome. FCA, has been at USC for 11 years, offers ac tivities such as, weekly meetings, weekend retreats, state l rallies and spring break mission trips for all students. They also have a high school outreach ministry that puts on weekly programs for about 10 area high school’s FCA groups. Members said that find FCA a great place 3o be. “I think FCA is really great. The outreach is awesome. It’s also great to be with people with the same morals and values,” theater junior Wendie Whlls said. Being Ale to share common morals is not the only at traction that FCA offers. FCA’s six-member band appeals to the tastes of many students. “The music is awesome, not to mention one of my fa vorite parts of FCA,” nursing sophomore Krisit Mixson said. , But besides offering Christian music and fellowship, FCA is most importantly “a place where people can come and hear about Jesus Christ,” Taylor said. Taylor said he hopes visitors will “think of the peo ple at FCA as being genuine and real and not that it is just another campus organization.” He said he extends this wish for all Christians min istries on campus and not only for FCA. For more information about FCA and its ministries contact Taylor at 318-6819. Weekly meetings are held at 8:30 p.m. in room 307 at the Blatt P.E. Center. -“TT-1 I FIT. to look back on Bob Mackie by Samantha Critchell Associated Press New York — Bob Mackie has seen his life flash in front of his eyes: It’s a purple, aqua and magenta cape deco rated with a roulette wheel and draped over a white, sequined wedding gown. The Las Vegas wedding outfit, with its battery-operated blinking lights, is one of the most eye-catching pieces in “Unmistakably Mackie,” a glittering retrospective of the designer’s work that will be on display through Dec.31 at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The retrospective took more than a year to organize. It includes Mackie’s childhood doodles, original sketches and designs from a career that has spanned nearly four decades. Clothing designed for Cher and co median Carol Burnett fill entire sec tions of the exhibit, which includes more than 125 outfits and almost 20 of his special-edition Barbie dolls. Diana Ross, Madonna and “Seinfeld” regular Julia Louis-Dreyfus have been dressed by the “Designer to the Stars.” He has also dressed Mitzi Gaynor, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, Sharon Stone and RuPaul. “You see things you haven’t seen in a while, and you think, ‘not bad,”’ Mackie said as he walked through the exhibit. The retrospective includes the an imal-print jumpsuit that Cher’s “Lav erne” character wore on her 1970s va riety series. The outfit is one of the designer’s favorites. Mackie also cre ated the sheer gown with black sequins that Cher wore when she accepted the Oscar for best actress (“Moonstruck”) in 1988. “The outfits are sometimes mis taken for fashion, but they’re costumes like for a character in a play,” said Mack ie, shaking olf criticism of Cher’s of ten outlandish wardrobe. “I want peo ple to have fun. I want people to say ‘Wasn’t that interesting?’ or ‘Wasn’t that wild?”’ Mackie created 22 - 24 glamorous dresses per season for the opening seg ment of Burnett’s long-running variety Mackie see met 9 Campus Notes Hurricane Floyd relief needed Those who want to help the victims of Hurricane Floyd can drop off items be ginning at 7 a.m. today at Hamilton Col lege.
