12 A MEDFORD MAIL TR1BUNE.-4MEDFORD. ORE MONDAY. JUNE 6. 1980 f Baccalaureate Services Stir Up Bitter Controversy BY LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent Should public high schools sponsor baccalaureate serv ices? The question comes up every year at this time, and in some communities it leads to bitter controversy. The custom of holding a re ligious service for the high school graduating class is deeply entrenched in Ameri can tradition. Many Protes tants and educators are anx ious to retain it as one of the few remaining links between religion and public education, The viewpoint is expressed by the Rev. Ewart G. Watts, GRADUATION DAY It's graduation day at Barney Conva lescent hospital in Dayton, Ohio. These three five-year-olds along with 24 other cerebral palsey victims received their diplomas for which they worked hard. They will attend Gor man School for Crippled Children next year. (UPI Telephoto) Reds Said Sending Weapons to Cuba Pompano Beach, Fla. (UPB The Pompano Beach Town News said in a copyright story Saturday night that Russian submarines have been seen landing Communists arms in Cuba for mon than a year. The nevspuper obtained its information from Ellis F. Ru bin, a Miami and Fort Lauder dale trial lawyer who once in vestigated subversive activi ties in Florida as a special assistant attorney general. RuBin said his information came from a "crack under cover agent" of a friendly for eign power with whom he once worked. He said detail ed accounts of the Red sub marine landings and other arms shipments to Cuba have been in the hands of U.S. se curity agencies for some time.

GET RICH SWITCH Fort Worth, Tex. -IUPD- Mrs. Margaret Lucille Bunker, 24, testified Thursday that her husband, Jerry, wanted her to marry a millionaire and then divorce him so she and Bunker could live on the millionaire's money. Judge Fisher T. Denny granted her a divorce from Bunker, I Mm i Merc T I Palls For Decision wrv - pastor of the First Methodist church of Topeka, Kan. i Deneve we should go right ahead having hiah school baccalaureate services as a great symbol of our re ligious heritage and faith," he said. "If there are those who conscientiously feel they can not attend these services, let them stay home or attend services elsewhere. But for those of us who are willing to forget our theological differ ences and to join with others in this expression of faith in God, let us continue to give our young people this expres sion of our common faith in God." On the other hand, there are many Catholics and Jews, and some Protestants, who feel that the baccalaureate service violates the constitu tional principle of separation of church ' and state, creates community strife, and puts non-Protestant children on an embarrassing spot. Their viewpoint is expres sed by Catholic Bishop Daniel J. Feeney of Portland, Me., who has forbidden Catholic pupils in Maine to partici pate in such services. "The format of these cere monies is always that of New England Congregationalism,' said Bishop Feeney. "The con science of those who are not products of this tradition is thus violated in the name of non-sectarianism and even sometimes in the name of politeness and democracy.' Issue Posed Sharply ine issue Is Dosed most sharpley when the baccalau reate service is held in a Pro testant church - a situation that is not uncommon in com munities where Protestants constitute a large majority of me population. Catholic Archbishop Will iam O. Brady of St. Paul. Minn., has stressed the signif icance of this point by saying that Catholic children may attend, and Catholic Clerev participate in, baccalaureate services only if they are "held in a purely public place." The committee on religion and public education of the National Council of Churches has also taken the position that baccalaureate services should always be held in public buildings, and that at tendance should be strictlv voluntary. Community Plan This Protestant arouD ac- knowledged what many Cath olic and Jewish parents have protested - that adolescent children have a tremendous urge toward social conform ity, and it is painful for them to be "different" in staying away from a class service even though attendance is theoretically voluntary. Therefore, the committee suggested that It might be a better plan for "eacl) church In the community to conduct religious exercises honoring its own graduates."
