Looking Back
..By LINDA CULLOM.
lied and IIlark Feature Editor
Looking buck over the Iasi fr\v years, I can think of one particular
organization which has been trying to establish itself on our campus.
I'liis organization is the Fellowship of Christian Athletes or FCA for
short.
Hack In 19 4 7 when he wuh a
sophomore at Oklahoma A&M pre
paring for a coaching career, Don
McClanan, the present executive sec-
relnry of the FCA,
made a talk on
"Making My Vo
cation Christian."
This Idea lay In
Ills mind until sev
en years later
when It crystal
lized. A national
advisory hoard was
d r a w n together,
funds were bor
rowed and the FCA began. The pro
gram Is now headquartered in the j
Professional Building In Kansas
City, Mo.
The FCA, realizing that the ath
lete In our society Is given a place I
of unusual prominence and could be I
a witness for Christ through his In
fluence. has since experienced re-
mnrkalile growth and has gnlned na- (
tlonal recognition. Its members are
of high school and college levels und
athletes who play professionally.
laM spring Francis Tarkenton,
ace llullilng <|iiniicrtmek from Athens
and a student at the 1'nlverslty, he- 1
gun organizing an FCA chapter here
at (ieorgla. Francis had much c\|>erl-
ence In preaching, making speeches
and working with youth.
This summer Frnncls Turkonton
and four other University students—
John Crawford, Joe Martin, Don
Ketser and Jake Saye—went to the
FCA not tonal conference at I.ake Ge
neva, Wise. Here they learned a
great deal that would help them to
organize the University rhnpter hot
ter.
The FCA now meets every Tuosday
night at 7:110 at the First Methodist
Church. Meetings last about an hour.
The program usually consists of de-
votlonals. films, prayer, singing, dis
cussion talks, outside speakers, etc.
Serving ns "coach" for the chapter
is Mr. Charles Bolen, minister of I
the First Methodist Church. John j
Crawford serves ns "captntn,” Jake |
Saye, "co-captain," and Joe Mnrtln, I
"manager."
The club has many plans for the
future. On April 28 the rhnpter Is j
sponsoring a rally at Fine Arts. Na
tional members of the FCA such as
Boh Feller of the Cleveland Indians
and Paul IMetzol, LSI' coach, will he
present.
There will he a banquet for high
school coaches In this area. The pro
gram thut night will he dedicated
solely to a rally.
There are numerous religious nnd
service organizations on our campus
and t think there Is a definite need
for the FCA, whose program Is de
voted to athletic development and
spiritual Inspiration.
The FCA has had a hard struggle
getting started. It would never have
been a reality If It had not been for
people like Francis Tarkenton. John.
Jnke, and ltev. Bolen who were In
terested in influencing youth In the
right way.
The Fellowship of Christian Ath
letes Is not restricted In Its mem
bership. Anyone who Is an athlete or
has an Interest In athletics is cor
dially invited to join.
I think the world today needs more
programs like the FCA. This group
needs our encouragement and sup
port Won’t you think about it?

Loren Gergens briefs two of his salesmen on new telephone services for business customers.
"I DIDN’T WANT TO BE STOCKPILED”
When Loren Gergens was working for his
B.S. degree in Business Administration at the
University of Denver, he had definite ideas about
the kind of job he wanted to land. He was de
termined to profit from the experience of several
of his friends who had accepted promising jobs
only to find themselves in "manpower pools”—
waiting to be pulled into a responsible position.
“I didn’t want to be stockpiled,” Loren says.
“That’s no way to start.’’
As a senior, Loren talked to twelve companies
and joined The Mountain States Telephone &
Telegraph Company, an associated company of
the Bell Telephone System.
From his first day challenges were thrown at
him thick and fast. First, he supervised a group
of service representatives who handle the com
munications needs of telephone customers. Then
he served as manager of several telephone busi
ness offices. In these jobs Loren had to prove
himself on the firing line, make right decisions
and carr> them through. He knew his next jump
depended on only one man-Loren Gergens.
In July, 1960, he was made Sales Manager
in Boulder, Colorado.
"I’m on the ground floor of a newly created
telephone marketing organization. And I can tell
you things are going to move fast!” Loren says
"It’s rough at times, but hard work is fun when
you know you’re going somewhere—in a busi
ness where there’s somewhere to go.”
If you’re interested in a job in tchich you can
be your out. prime mover-a job in which you’re
given a chance to show what you can do, right from
the dart-you 11 want to visit your Placement Office
for literature and additional information.
Our number one aim is to hart in all
management jobs the most vital, intelli
gent, posit ire and imaginative men we
can possibly find."
