Show Wednesday, January 29, 1992 EdHonai The Signpost Letters to the Editor Students unhappy with Sunday hours To the editor, We would like to express our bewilderment concerning the inconvenient campus hours implemented on Sundays. There is absolutely no place on campus for university students to study before 1 p.m. Sunday, January 26th we arrived on campus at 12 p.m., a sensible time to study we thought. First, we Meet the Mormons maddens student To the editor, According to a letter recently published in your newspaper, our beloved faculty and student representatives in Lithuania allegedly held what was referred to as "Meet the Mormons" event. I am shocked that this faculty member, in violation of the president's standing order and our students, in violation of the student code, allowed this to take place (if indeed it did). The president's standing order, di The Signpost staff Editor in chief Jim Sawdey Managing editor lorin J. May News editor Laurie M. Wlrth Asst. News editor Tina Tritich Aut.

Then we went to the library, the lights were on wasting our student fee's, but the doors were locked, same problem at the Swenson Gym and the science lab. This is absurd!! This is inconvenient, unjust and fails to show proper and due consideration for all students who have enormous amounts of homework and few flexible work hours. rected at faculty members, prohibits religious solicitation on the part of faculty members. Our recently passed student code (passed last year) defines a student representative as any student who is perceived to be acting on behalf of WSU. Also, ten thousand of our student fee dollars were allocated to this mission (and I mean Mission). Since when do we pay for religious missionaries? I certainly do not want my money to pay for the Even during the week it's extremely difficult to get full use of library facilities before it closes at 10 p.m.?! We feci that if Weber State wants to compete in the Real UnU versity World, then it must become available to students more than just part-time! Krista Gibson and Merril Hendry WSU? Students missionaries of any religion. I think these students and the faculty member have violated every aspect of decency and intelligence by allowing my money to be spent in such an offensive manner. I think we deserve an apology and financial restitution from these individuals... oh, and folks? How about letting the Mormon church pay for its own proselytizing?

L SV- " V ' f t.ll 'I 111- - II I II..T.IIIII II., I. I J ' ( I v - "I think we shouldn't split hairs about discrimination and prejudice. It's just wrong in any context, whether it's race, religion, or sexual orientation, it's just wrong." John Owens Senior Math "Since this is America (the home of the free), no hate crime legislation should be required. But since it is (thanks to narrow headed people everywhere), yes, I believe all peoples of any group be they minority, religous or sexual preference, deserve equal protection under the law." Peter Hinckley Senior BIS "I believe everyone is entitled to their own way of life. I don't agree with homosexuality, but they are people and they deserve human rights. The law should protect everyone." Thilene Brooks Sophomore Communication "Yes, I believe that the bill should protect homosexuals. I don't think that it is our place to judge who should be exempt from protection. Any group specifically targeted for hate crime should be protected whether we agree with their lifestyles, culture, etc., or not. This is the principle on which the United States was formed." Dee Asessions Junior Physics "The Bill should protect everybody, but the homosexuals are people also. Even though I don't like the one I know." Matt Peterson Sophomore Zoology "(The law) should not protect them, because homosexuality is just flat out sick and wrong. There should be a law against it!" Scott Jones Sophomore Sports therapy |
