College forum for Creationism debates
On Friday, the final evening,
the program will begin with Dr.
David L. Hicks, a theistic
evolutionist from Whitworth
College in Washington,
presenting the view that most
evolutionary theories do not
essentially conflict with Biblical
statements regarding creation.
A panel discussion involving
the audience will follow with
Chittick, Feldesman and Hicks.

All three programs will begin
at 7 p.m. in Randall Hall Gym,
and are open to the public.
“We’re having this program
because we wanted to provide
a platform for the discussion of
this topic on an academic
basis,” Johnson said. “The
question about ‘Should it be
taught?’ has been handled on a
sensationalist level too much
and we don’t even want to deal
with that subject yet. We’re just
trying to explore it and see if it
has acadmic validity.”
“I’m staying neutral on the
subject,” Johnson said, “but I
think there’s a quick conclusion
on the part of some that if a
person expresses a belief in
God, that they must stick un
waveringly to the Bible. I don’t
see. the problems involved. Just
because someone believes in
evolution doesn’t mean he is
an athiest.. Science and the
scriptures get along very well,”
Johnson said.
He believes conflicts seem
to arise from “improper Biblical
exegesis (explanation; getting
out what’s inside). It’s not what
the Bible says that causes pro
blems, it’s what people inter
pret the Bible to say.”
“Of course, some of the
blame for the conflict lies with
the evolutionists, too. Many
have a tendency to present
evolution as significantly more
than a theory,” Johnson fur
ther explained. “Evolutionists
must take care to keep from
succumbing to the same
mindless arrogance that they
accused the creationists of hav
ing back in the days of the
Scopes Trial,” Johnson warn
ed.
“Creationists often take the
position that their side believes
in God and that evolutionists
don’t,” concluded Johnson.
“We’re trying to get away from
that and present a platform for
the airing of scientific crea
tionism on an academic level.
We hope to draw in many peo
ple from the community. It’s
open to the public and ab
solutely free.
rosby fills ASG executive council
By J. Dana Haynes
t)f The Print
■ The executive council for the
■981-82 ASG has been
■elected and approved.
Resides the four elected posi-
■ons, five appointed offices
■ave been filled. They include:
I Assistant to the President:
Boe Schweizer. Schweizer is
■Iso this year’s ATTP. Newly
Elected ASG President Sam
Crosby said, “Joe is
Knowledgeable, he’s ex
perienced, and he’s got a lot of
■willingness to serve the
Students of the College. He
■works hard and he’s quite
Reliable. Also, he knows a lot of
■he administration.”
I Administrative assistant:
■Malt
McAllister.
Like
Schweizer, McAllister was a
■andidate for president. Said
_Crosby, “I think Walt is willing
to learn and expand his
horizons.
He’s
very
knowledgeable.” McAllister will
replace the current ad
ministrative assistant, Don
Vitro.
Activities Director: Dick Ed
wards. Edwards is taking the
place of Gail Schmidt. “Dick\
was this year’s art director,
which takes a lot of time,” ex
plained Crosby, “I felt Dick was
very reliable and willing to
listen to the students. He’s in
terested in the students and
their desires and is respected
and liked by most everyone
who knows him.”
.Art Director: Melody Blair.
Said Crosby, “She’s got good
references from high school,
where she was .very active. She
was, by the way, the only
woman to apply for a cabinet
position.” Blair is taking the
place of Dick Edwards.
Media Director: Tom Sim
mons. He, like Schweizer, is
returning to the same job.
“Tom took over just this last
quarter,” explained Crosby, “I
feel he’s done a super job. He
has the interest, the ability, and
the drive to get the information
out to the students and the
community.”
Schweizer, McAllister, Ed
wards, Blair and Simmons will
join with Crosby, Vice Presi
dent Susy Ryan, Business
Manager Chris Clement and
Secretary Ginger Olney to form
the executive council of the
ASG.
Said Crosby, “During our
beach retreat last week, we
worked together, and we had a
good time. I think that we’ve
got a good team here. We set a
goal to maintain 100 percent
student officers for the whole
year, which hasn’t happened in
years.”
Vice President Ryan had
some reservations about the
new cabinet. “I think Sam did a
good job,” said Ryan, “but I
don’t think it was right or fair to
let someone do any one job
two years in a row. This is a
two-year school, and everyone
should get a chance to work.
But Joe and Tom (the two of
ficers keeping their respective
jobs) were the best qualified for
their jobs, so they deserved
them.”
Asked what specific goals
were set for the new cadre,
Crosby said, “I have asked the
cabinet to always listen, and to
promote our school activities. I
feel that they’ll do this.”
