November 17,1999 LETTERS WESTERN CAROLINIAN Promises Being Kept Dear Editor, I have been a student at Western since 1993. I completed my undergraduate degree and am now pursuing my Masters. As an undergraduate, I was an active student and the editor of the Catamount Yearbook. This position allowed me to work closely with the SGA. Since then, I have read the Carolinian and kept myself informed with campus events. In the six years that I have been at Western I have never seen a more active, productive student government. The members of the SGA are getting things accomplished. I have never witnessed such strong leadership in our student government. Each time I pick up the Carolinian, someone from the SGA is speaking for the students. Some promises are actually being kept and changes are happening. The SGA is working for the students; we finally have a voice. Jonathan Rowe, SGA President, and the SGA members are doing a job well done. Thank you. We noticed. Margie Koch Letters Grafitti Breaks Hearts Dear Editor, Everyday as I leave campus by way of the back entrance I am startled and moved by a billboard that sits for all to see. It has a picture of an infant with an angelic face and a smile from ear to ear. It's her innocent face along with the heart-breaking message that sends chills up my spine each time. Next to the picture reads 'Lauren Elizabeth, Killed by a drunk driver.' A powerful message to say the least. So young, so innocent- it's just such a waste. But in hopes of getting the message across, her grief stricken family has chosen to use her life, as short as it was, to help prevent such a senseless crime from happening again. So imagine my surprise to come to that familiar billboard this afternoon only to find someone has spray painted over it. I was mortified to say the least. I am saddened and ashamed that someone in our community could be so insensitive, disrespectful, and immature. If the family of Lauren Elizabeth saw what has happened to her billboard, I'm sure it would only break their hearts; as it breaks mine.

Box 461, Schenectady, NY 12301 Quotable Qucle " Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head." .. .Chinese Aphorism Majority Status No Excuse for Discrimination by Jeffrey Leatherwood Richard Suhre, a resident of my hometown, Waynesville, died recently at the age of 89.1 grew to know him through my career as a journalist as well as our past association with the Haywood County Literacy Council. He was a brilliant, outspoken man with a noble character. Most people recall him, however, as the atheist who sued Haywood County in 1991 on the basis of the Ten Commandments being within the walls of a courthouse. The case persists in spite of his absence. While Suhre believed the First Amendment was violated by the inclusion of these two metal plaques suspended behind the judge's bench, 16,000 America." One of Paine's major criticisms of Christianity lay in its traditional persecution of the sciences and their practitioners. Paine himself was the victim of character assassination after he published The Age of Reason, a rational criticism of the Bible. Another "doubting Thomas" was our third president. Thomas Jefferson never lost his love for science and the unbridled mind. In 1799, he wrote to a friend: "I join you in branding as cowardly the idea that the human mind is incapable of further advances. This is precisely the doctrine which the present despots of the earth are inculcating ... especially to religion and politics." Given the recent petitioners led by Jack Wadham fought to keep Jeffrey Leatherwood mlinSs by tne Kansas School Board against scientific teachings, Jefferson might well have expressed these sentiments the tablets in the courtroom. Wadham argued that the so- called Founding Fathers would have approved the Ten Commandments display. District Court Judge Lacy Thornberg supported the majority opinion by associating the display with historical value. But what does Constitutional history tell us? "The government shall make no law establishing any religion, or abridging the free exercise thereof." These words were aimed at our newly born governments, both state and federal, to prohibit them from sovereignty over law- abiding religious institutions. But it did not end there. Our First Amendment also guaranteed liberty from religious persecution in our courts, schools, and workplace. Ironically, North Carolina initially refused to ratify the Constitution without a Bill of Rights. But our state is among the front ranks of those who would deny similar rights to the outsider, the dissenter, and the village atheist, Richard Suhre was not the first intellectual rebel in our great American heritage. Benjamin Franklin was a Deist, a believer in divine power, but an influential skeptic of theocracy. Today, we have the Christian Coalition and other holy horrors which would have dis- . gusted Franklin with their fanaticism and obsession with government. One of Franklin's closest followers, the expatriate Englishman Thomas Paine, was the first patriot to coin the phrase, "The United States of in 1999. James Madison, too often overlooked by his fellow Americans, was primarily responsible for our Constitution. A devout Christian, he was endowed with enough foresight to create a society in which Americans could freely believe "according to the dictates of conscience." This placed the responsibility of conscience not upon the government, but the individual family. Senator John Edwards wrote to me in August concerning the national issues of displaying the Ten Commandments. His 20th-century analysis echoes Madison in its central point. While Edwards acknowledged that "knowing and respecting the Ten Commandments is good for children and adults ... we should also guard against a government that tries to tell people what to believe." In conclusion, Haywood County's argument is tenuous. It would never survive scrutiny by the United States Supreme Court. Thornberg's belief in the historic nature of the plaques is disproved by the hordes of petitioners who used blatant religious rhetoric against Richard Suhre. So much for historical knowledge. If fundamentalists are looking for sympathy from Jefferson and Franklin, they will never find it. Being in the majority is not an excuse to discriminate against the minority. That rule, not found in the Holy Bible, is the foundation of our liberal American tradition. ■; '
