Christ Teens Told To Picket Golden West

The sandal-shod Teens for Christ have been ordered by their “spiritual adviser” to begin picketing Golden West College as one member of the militant Huntington Beach sect faced arraignment today on week-old trespassing charges.
“Uncle” Dave leader of the band of hippie-appearing young people, announced the sandwich board protest Sunday at the conclusion of an evening meeting at the First Baptist Church of Fountain Valley.
The Teens, headquartered at 116 Main St., attended morning worship services at the First Christian Church of Orange then wound up their 24-hour-day personal evangelism with the panel discussion in the sanctuary of the Baptist Church at 17415 Magnolia St.
Both visits were by invitation. Previous march-ins were surprise processions during worship services. The decision to send pickets to Golden West stems from the Dec. 6 arrest of six of the self-named “Christian revolutionaries” found distributing religious tracts on campus.
Police were summoned on campus by dean of students Dale A. Miller when the band allegedly refused to either halt evangelizing or get off campus.
