  • PAGE 16/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/ MARCH 23, 1978 Easter Editorial: No state funds for religion Guest Editorial by TONY BROWN "Christ died for you. . .Will vou live for Him" Sound like something you'd read on a roadside sign driving through Ela on your way to Bryson City? It's on display in a state-owned glass case In a state-owned building, part of a state-owned Institution of higher learning and was probably eonstructed with state-owned materials. This illegal and distasteful use of state funds can be seen at the entrance to the Killian Building opposite the Clinic Annex exit. There is nothing wrong with being Christian, and Christians should "witness" their faith to others and explain that Easter is not about rabbits and eggs if they believe the Bible—but what's at Issue here is the fine line between freedom of religion and separation of church and state. Money allocated to Western Carolina University, and in turn allocated to the School of Education and Psychology, by North Carolina is legally intended for educational purposes. The display is a blatant attempt to convert people to Christianity that exploits a medium bought and paid for In taxpayers thinking their money would be spent wisely and according to the principles upon which the nation is supposedly based. And the worded message and wooden cross are as offensive to some as Illegal to all. The collage assumes its viewers are sinners and in need of salvation. It insults non-Christian students who see their tuition money being spent on something they don't desire or expect from an "education." But, alack and alas, this school can't remain consistent even in error. It associates state and religion and denies the right to freedom of religion by failing to provide for Catholics eating in the cafeterias during Lent and scheduling classes for Good Friday. Dr. Betty Siegel, dean of the School of Education and Psychology, did not disclose the name of the group sponsoring the poster but it is one of her subordinates who guards the glass cases in Killian under lock and key. Aren't the roads lined with trees waiting for "Happy are the ones whose God is Lord" signs to be crucified on them; doesn't the Western Carolinian print almost every religious classified and display ad it receives; are the more than 30 churches in the Cullowhee-Sylva area not sufficient? Consider this matter while at home (or wherever) for spring break. Also consider: "Where will you spend eternity, Heaven or Hell?" Ed fulla beans Editor. Be assured that DeCrow's pro-ERA stance has been a source of pride, not grief, for her. However, the editorial of last week should be a source of considerable embarrassment for you. The ERA will probably not eliminate legal bias against people in spirit (you are a good example), but it will do so in fact. And in answer to your groping, rhetorical question ("Is there a better way?"), the answer is no, there is not a better way. Women and men (that is, people) need a firm legal basis to refer to in order to eradicate the many discriminations based on politicalization of sex. That includes you. Yes, the original Constitution did discriminate against women, just as it did against blacks. The Constitution was actually written for the benefit of white male property owners, who were then considered ACDWSWP FBATUfWG- "PCX CHANT V00 TO m^m&^-oBrw&i ART MvSroW PWflKSOR.

T UrST CONTACT WITH «PAC£ AMP T1Mt>. to be the only real "people." Since then we have decided that blacks, too, are people. Perhaps someday we will also include women in the people category. Last, but certainly not least, we come to the final paragraph of your editorial, the most disgusting part of all. Obviously you have failed to consult today's unemployment figures, which prove that white males are still the lowest on the totem pole. It's hard for anyone to get a job, but you can thank the Fates if you go job hunting with white skin and an XY genotype to boot. (You should be a white female trying to get a job as a history teacher). But the real problem here is that everyone should be able to exercise their talents and obtain proper training in their field. We should not have to live in a society which runs on this kind of cutthroat competition, part of which is based on sex and color. The need for doctors, for instance, is far greater than the number being trained, but the politically powerful and wealthy AMA restricts not only admissions but also the number of schools available to train doctors. They find profit motives more appealing than humanitarian ones. It is opportunity for everyone that will be broadened by the ERA. You need to seriously rethink your position. Lynda Morgan Beans again Dear Editor, Your editorial last week proves you make as many blunders as your printer. The so-called editorial endorsed the ostrich-like, idiotic and totally perverse arguments espoused by Mrs. Schlafly and Co. Let's stop regarding men and women separately. Up with Person Liberation! Name withheld by request Happy break! The staph of the Western Carolinian would like to wish all students a happy and productive spring break. The next exciting issue of the Carolinian will hit the streets April 6 with news about the upcoming SGA elections and more. Have a safe trip, wherever you're going.
