As for Hartfeil’s letter, I writing in response to the “opin ions” expressed in last week’s would like to paraphrase the poster newspaper by Heidi Branstator and which he believes claims that there is a casual relationship between Lanz W. Hartfeil. I am amazed at drugs, alcohol and homosexual Branstator’s printing what she was ity. The poster actually says that “told,” rather than printing the Dan Rice searched few love and facts. No BSM posters stated that fulfillment in each of these three homosexuality, like some sort of areas. Had it been true of Mr. cancer, could be cured. I am also Rice’s life, the poster could have amazed that Branstator printed just as correctly stated that he opinions on something she had so searched for love and fulfillment little information on. She stated in gluttony, stalking and hetero that she “hoped” something was sexuality. Does that imply that being done. No, nothing is being eating mass quantities of Oreos done. It has already BEEN done. causes you to be heterosexual, or In fact, it was done almost two that if you are heterosexual, you weeks before Branstator printed will be a stalker? No more than her letter. If she had cared to ask, ourposterimpliedcausation. The she would know that. The first only “claims” made by BSM are morning the poster in question that love and fulfillment are to be was displayed, a meeting was held found in Jesus Christ. Toaddress between myself, Carolyn Hartfeil’s dream to help BSM to Amemann (BSMDirector), Norm help those in need, I say: Pinch Bemey (Student Activities Coor yourself, Mr. Hartfeil, because it dinator) and Jan Godfrey (Student isn’t a dream.

Itwas who needs help. Our campus a very civil and productive meet chapter alone has sent students to ing.

And freedom of speech and open com we never asked for any percentage munication between diverse group of anyone’s earnings to do it. In fact, BSM often provides funds for students who can’t afford to par ticipate in our retreats and other activities. I can’t count the num ber of times we have told our members not to allow lack of money to stand in the way of par ticipating. If people were offended by our posters, we are sorry; that was never our intent. We are encouraged by the fact that many members of GAL AB andP-FL AG attended this meeting. Bridges were built between members of our groups, and even some friend ships were started. Three mem bers of GALAB invited the speaker, Dan Rice, out to coffee. I’m sure that if either Branstator or Hartfeil had taken the time to actually find out the meaning be hind the posters, or even the literal meaning on the posters, they would have never taken the time to write such hate-filled “opinions.” Carol Wright CCC BSM President Editors' Note: The Print would like to clarify one point: BSM did remove the offensive poster that afternoon, but only af ter objections by several students and staff resulted in the meeting between Wright,. Amemann, Bemey and Godfrey. If persuaded, ASG will intervene by Jeff Kemp The Print Co-Editor-in-Chief 1. If you're looking for a way to read faster, look no fur ther. Simply read faster.

The only thing ASG does God Still Love BSM After ThisT is okay the poster as a campus and Lanz Hartfeil’s Letter to the event and date it to track the thirty days the poster is allowed to stay Editors: The system works! It is up. This is not an endorsement of gratifying to know that when the event or approval of the con people get together and talk, posi tent of the poster. If posters con tive moves can be made. When Baptist Student Ministries (BSM) was told that their poster offended some people, they removed the poster. It was clear that their intention was not to hurt anyone, and they were willing to make the change. It is important to note, I believe, that BSM did not have to change the. poster. It is within their rights, as it is with anyone, under the freedom of speech, to say whatever they want on their posters. Associated Student Government’s (ASG) connection to this incident was to work with the club for a solution. ASG has tain words that hurt or offend some one, ASG will, if asked, work with the club and the offended party to solicit understanding and sensi tivity to die problem.
