Vague messages across campus are asking students, "Everything seems OK on the outside. But how are you really feeling?" The advertisements have been appearing almost everywhere this week — on fliers, the rock on Farm Lane and on sashes worn by students in animal costumes. The messages include a Web site, www.EverySpartan.com, but don't say who created it. Campus Crusade for Christ created the campaign but didn't place the organization's name on the advertisements.
