STUDENT CLUB
OF THE WEEK
Initrvartsity
by Liz Hayes
staff writer
Readers may remember the last
issue's featured student clubs of the
week, the Behrend Knights of Colum
bus and the Behrend Newmans Asso
ciation -- both of which are closely
related to the Catholic Campus Min
istry. This week, the column is fea
turing the Behrend chapter of the
Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, or
IVCF. This group is a religiously af
filiated organization that falls under
the supervision of the Protestant Cam
pus Ministry.
The ICVF at Behrend began with
the Behrend College Christian Asso
ciation, or BCCA. This former orga
nization should not he confused w ith
the Behrend College Conservative Al
liance (also the BCCA) that existed
about five years ago. According to
Beth Bernard, president of Behrend's
IVCF, the Behrend College Christian
Association "wanted to he aligned
with some national organization."
Upon searching through a variety of
organizations, they found that the
ICVF most closely met the needs of
the college. So, in the late 1980 s, the
Behrend chapter of ICVF came into
existence.

The club sponsors various at. tivi
ties throughout the year. One that
most students are probably familiar
with, but are not a\\ are that the IVCF
sponsors, is the sponsorship of the
"Sweater Lad). - or Karen Swerdon.
She sets up a table outside of Bruno's
and sells sweaters, knit items, various
articles of clothimz.jewelry, and Han
kets. For those who have missed her
thus far. she witt hick. The club usu
ally has her come to Bchrend three
times during the fall and twice more
in the spring.
Last year. the club sponsored Ravi
Zacharias, a debate on "Evil and Suf
fering." Also. every Christmas sea
son. the club puts together shoeboxes
for the Operation Christmas Child
program. This program ships these
shoeboxes throughout the world to
needy children. allmxing them to have
Christmas presents and other much
needed goods.
Although the organization is reli -
giously all hated, anyone is welcome
to join and participate in the club. The
club is nondenominational, though
there are definite roots in Christian
fundamentals. As stated by Bernard,
the club's goal is to "reach out to the
Behrend campus with loving arms so
that they may know the love of God."
