religion on campus
WASHINGTON
State universities which per
mit student groups to use cam
pus facilities must let those
groups hold religious worship
and study sessions there, the
Supreme Court ruled Tuesday
But the 8-1 decision gave no
clues of any upcoming changes
in the court's 19-year-old ban
on organized prayer in public
elementary and secondary
schools The court has
consistently treated elementary
and secondary schools differ
ently from colleges in religion
cases
The court ruled that a ban by
the University of Missouri at
Kansas City on the use of a
student center for religious pur
poses violated students'
constitutional right of free
speech
"The University of Missouri
has discriminated against
student groups and speakers
based on their desire to use a
generally open forum to engage
in religious worship and discus
sion,' Justice Lewis Powell
wrote for the majority
"These are forms of speech
and association protected by
the First Amendment," Powell
said, noting the university
recognizes more than 100
student groups
"The university has opened
its facilities for use by student
groups and the question is
whether it can now exclude
groups because of the content
of their speech," Powell said

"In this context, we are unper
suaded that the primary effect of
the public forum, open to all
forms of discourse, would be to
advance religion "
University officials had said
allowing meetings by a religious
student organization called
Cornerstone would violate the
Constitution's "establishment"
clause that bars states from ad
vancing religion
The court, with only Justice
Byron White dissenting, af
firmed an 8th U S Circuit Court
of Appeals decision that the
university's ban was unconsti
tutional
White said his colleagues, in
judging the state university s
required religious neutrality, ig
nored the “religious content" of
the students services
White said that if the majority
is correct, the court should
review its 1962 school prayer
decision, its ban on the manda
tory posting of the Ten Com
mandments in Kentucky's pub
lic schools and other religion
cases
