	CARP is definately the Moonies.  They were here in Santa
Cruz for several years.  They are one of many Moon organization
that does not tell you what they are.  The said they were students
that were interested in World problems.  Here in Santa Cruz
they would invite people to dinner to "rap about world problems."
At dinner they would focus on the perceived ills of the world.
Since Santa Cruz has a high preportion of students because of 
a university and a large JC the organization was aimed at students.

	At dinner they would try and persuade people to go to a
camp in Northern California.  At the camp there was no privacy,
short sleep schedule, too small portions of food, and constant
encounter groups, lectures, songs, and various other sensory
input.  Many of the people that went to the camp choose to
dedicate their lives to Moon.  I heard the story of one
one Santa Cruz resident that has been selling flowers in airports
ever since.

	Once every local newspaper, main-stream or counter-culture started
featuring articles with reporters going to the dinners and that traced CARP
to the Moon orginazation no on would go near them and they left.
