              <text>The Christian Fellowship left gift bags at the doors of all first-year students. These bags contained a copy of the New Testament, a video on alcohol abuse, a CD of Christian songs, a yo-yo, and some candy.  This proved controversial because it was also the Jewish High Holiday Yom Kippur when these bags were distributed. The funding for these items was procured through an alumnus donation of $5,000 to the Campus Crusade for Christ. Several first-year Jewish students were offended by the bags.  </text>
