  • The Western Carolinian Page - 6 Thursday, October 1, 1987 Campus Ministries ON LOVING THE RUSSIANS By BILL MEHLE Catholic Campus Minister It was an ancient rabbi who asked his students how they could tell when night had ended anddaywasonltsdayback. "Could itbewhenyou see an animal in the distance and can tell whether it Is a sheep or a dog?" "No", answered the rabbi. "Could it be when you look at a tree and tell whether it is a fig or a peach tree?" "No." "Well, then," the students demanded, "when is it?" "It is when you look on the face of any man or woman and see that he or she Is your brother or sister. Because if you cannot do that, then no matter what time it is, it is still night." It is still night - Instead of recognizing the faces of those who have been labeled "enemy" as our sisters and brothers, we look on them as the root of all evil, the stumbling block to our peace. So we threaten to destroy the Russian people, and them us. We proclaim Jesus as Lord, know well his teachings: to love our neighbor, to love our enemies, to turn the other cheek, to be peacemakers. We tend, though to place conditions on these hard sayings of Jesus - conditions which allow us to live comfortable and secure in our belief that certainly Jesus did not really mean what he said (and lived). I mean, let's be realistic. What about the Russians? Jesus responds to a similar question in Luke's Gospel, chapter 10, when the lawyer asks him "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus answers with a story which cuts to the heart our dilemma. Jesus' mandate is clear - if we are made to be perfect as God is perfect we must, as Samaritans, show compassion to the injured Jew. Our neighbor is precisely that person who we perceive to be most hostile, most despised, most unlike us, most in need. The compassion of God, which we are invited to enter and live out, knows no boundaries of nationality, sex, race, or creed. The good news proclaimed and lived by Jesus provides us a glimpse of dawn which has brought light into darkness of night, a light which enables us to be converted to the way of God's Kingdom. I am convinced, from my reflections on the scriptures, that it is not the will of God of Jesus that we aim weapons of mass destruction at our brothers and sisters, the Russians. Actively seeking ways to love our neighbor/ enemy does not mean to curb our critique of their nations or policies. Challenge and critique are dimensions of any healthy relationship. We are invited though, to also look within ourselves, to humbly recognize the ways In which our own attitudes and actions fall short of the ideas to which we assent. It seems that fear and mistrust are the fundamental drives behind the arms race. A simple first step in breaking down these walls which alienate and threaten global destruction is to get to knowand understand the Russians. We need to know them as persons radically loved by God, the same as us; people delirious of peace who want a world full of life and promise to pass of to their children. On Monday. October 5.7:30 pm at Cullowhee United Methodist Church we offer an opportunity to come to know the people of the Soviet Union a little better. Through visual images, stories and live music Bruce Bishop and Patty Ankum will share their reflections on their participation in the Soviet American Peace Walk from Leningrad to Moscow this past summer. The walk sought to open doors for person to person dialogue between U.S. and Soviet citizens Sunday Matinees at 2 p.m ALLY SHEEDY PEOPLE IN THE NEWS By MARTHA MCAFEE STAFF WRITER ACADEMIC APPOINTMENTS 4 Judith StilHon, a psychologist and author, former department head and interim vice chancellor for academic affairs (1986-87) was named by the board to the new position of associate vice chan- cellor for academic affairs.

Deupree Laverne Hamlin Allen of Washington was the first black student to be admitted to WCU. This event occurred 30 years ago, and now she is seated on the Board of Trustees. Mrs Allen is a speech-language pathologist with a master's degree from the University of Maryland and George Washington University. When she was 21-years old, Laverne Hamlin asked WCU to admit her to it's all-white teacher's college. Hamlin said Western was offering the course she needed to qualify for an advanced teaching certificate. Three years before this case the U.S. Supreme Court had reached its decision on school desegregation. Previously all-white colleges over the South were receiving applications from black students, but many were denied. The late William Ernest Bird, WCU President at the time, said Miss Hamlin's application was "clearly a test case." The question of whether to admit Miss Hamlin went to the same board on which she now sits. The answer from the late Phillip Woollcott of Asheville, President of Bank of Asheville and WCC board chairman, and the board's other 11 members, was unanimous: admit all students who meet entrance requirements irrespective of race. WCU today enrolls 300-350 black students each year. Mrs. Laverne H. Allen was appointed to the WCU board by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors.
