Of course the plaid coats are worn

Tis a good Idea to match said tie
with your slax and let your coat
carry all the pattern. The mixture

A Sound, High Court Decision
The United State Supreme Court
recently banned Bible readings as
opening . exercises in Pennsylvania's
public schools. The nation's highest
court ruled that the practice violated
the "establishment of religion" clause
of the First Amendment. We believe
the decision is sound and it will have
the approval of most Americans.
Religious education is and should
be the sole responsibility of the church
and the home. The purpose of public
schools is not to instruct and guide
children in religious beliefs and pracreasons the
tices. For whatever
schools assume this responsibility of
attempting to educate American children along religious lines, it breaches
wall winch septhe
arates church and state.
One public school board, in the
defense of its code, declared that
any child wishing to be excused from
the daily Bible reading could do so.
Thus, they claimed, religion was not
being forced on the individual child.
s a result of this policy, we can
d

only see . children' of minority
ious groups being1 singled ', out as
"different." As a prominent Jewish
doctor noted, instead of being- American children, they would then become Protestant children, Catholic
children, Jewish children, and
children.
;

.

-

Reading the Bible might very well
conflict or contradict what the child
is taught at home or in the places of
worship which he attends. As a result,
the child would be led into a state of
unnecessary confusion with his parents or his religious counselors.
Public schools were intended to
meet the needs of the student in relation to the values of society, excluding theological doctrine, which the
study of the Bible oftentimes introduces.
America's public schools should
stick to the basic three "R's" and not
add a fourth that of religion.

Campus Parable
By HOMER T. RICKABAUGH
Associate Pastor, Presbyterian Center
"The essential religious experience
is not a matter of belief in a set of
propositions but is a movement of the
whole self to the daily challenge of
actual human relations."
These words of the Indian philosopher, S. Radhakrishnan, shatter
much of what is often called religion. They also have something to say
to those of us who claim Jesus Christ
as our Saviour and Lord.
We who would live as He lived,
and love as He loved, too often are

overly concerned for the fine points
of religious doctrine, and sometimes
cause our faith to rest on human
theories of one kind and another.
To live a religious life, in the plainest sense of the word, is to live as
though God really does make a difference in our daily lives. This is to
say that God not only knows, but is
concerned how we live our lives.
Jesus Christ was supremely concerned about our relationship to our
fellows. "A new commandment," He
said, "I give unto you, that you love
one another."

THE READERS' FORUM
Archaic Segregation Laws

To The Editor:
With reference to Dave Hawpe's
column of Tuesday, Feb. 27, I would
like to inquire as to whether Mississippi State's policy is that of the
school, or if it may not be directed by
the Mississippi legislature?
If State's refusal to play in the
NCAA tournaments is dictated, as I
suspect, by legislative control, Mr.
Hawpe's proposal of exclusion from
the NCAA is a rather harsh and narrow view. Pressures should be applied to the Mississippi legislature and
not to the school.
When archaic segregation laws are
invalidated, perhaps McCarthy's boys
will be able to prove themselves in
big league competition.

Hero: Just What The U.S. Needs

Middle-Age- d
By HAL BOYLE
AP Newsfeature Writer

NEW YORK At last the country
has what it long needed
a good
middle-agehero.
d

Astronaut John II. Glenn Jr. fills
the bill perfectly.
By orbiting the earth three times
last week he did more than merely
lift America's scientific prestige in the
eyes of the rest of the globe.
He made every middle-ageman
in the nation stand half a head taller
and feel like there was a place in
the worid for him after all.
d

sir, Lt. Col. Glenn of the
United States Marines made middle-ag- e
downright respectable in a land
which for too long has placed too
much emphasis on the value t)f being
young.
John Glenn has been dry behind
the ears for some time now. He is
40 years old, has acquired a few
wrinkles, and shows considerable
scalp. No television sponsor would
Yes,

'

seek him out to give a testimonial for
a hair tonic.
If two weeks ago he had sought a
new job, many firms would have automatically rejected him because of his
age. Many have a policy against hiring men 40 or over. Such men are
regarded as "too old."
Too old? At 40, John Glenn, who
still conditions himself by running
two miles a day, made the greatest
leap into space of any American in
history. He gave us all a badly needed
lesson that the judgment and skill
which come with maturity are at least
as important as the blind
and raw courage that go with
youth.
Traditionally, from Alexander The
Great to Romeo, we have tended to
expect our heroes in both war and
love to be young men. At least those
who win renown by individual feats
in action.
Even Thomas ("Stonewall") Jackson, one of the most admired leaders of the Civil War, was dead at 39.

Sgt. Alvin York, the most publicized hero of the First World War,
was a young man. In the Second
World War, Audie Murphy had won
about every combat medal in the
books before he was old enough to
vote.
Perhaps because we still think of
ourselves as a young people, the
accent on youth has been almost as
pronounced in peace as in war in this
country. We have blindly venerated
the young at the expense of the
middle-age- d
and the elderly.
Thus, parents come to stand in
awe of their own children, and many
of us begin to think that growing old
is the worst pf all diseases if not a
positive crime.
We cling desperately, and often
ridiculously, to youth as though it
were a salvation in itself and all beyond it darkness. And the rest of the
world sensibly laughs at us for this
national obsession.
Well, when the officials heading
up the multibillion dollar Mercury
Project picked a man to orbit the

earth in the "Friendship 7" capsule,
they didn't "send a kid up in a crate
like that."
vetThey sent up a
eran, trained, careful, competent and
confident in himself and his craft,
because he knew what both could do.
They could have chosen any of a
million younger, brasher men, equally
as courageous. But they chose John
Glenn because they thought him the
best man for a tough responsible job
requiring disciplined judgment as well
as daring.
At 40, Glenn did more than prove
himself. He opened a new vista of
men
hope to millions of
and women by showing them that
achievement and heroism are not the
property of youth, but are available
at any age.
who
From now on any teen-age- r
doesn't show proper respect to our
years and gray hairs is likely to get
himself bopped.
For in all us middle-agethere is
a hero trying to get out if he can
only find the way.

kindly eyes.
Many of the quotations from the King James Bible were left
unchanged, bat others were simplified into trite, modern day
phrases very noticeable in comparison.
The character of Mary is much more tender than that of Jesus,
although the production, in attempting to cover such a span of years,
leaves Mary in the ridiculous position of appearing the same age at
Jesus' birth as at his death.
Three parts of the production stand out as most effective: the
Sermon on the Mount when Jesus preaches to thousands of people
spread out on the hillsides; Jesus' agony on the Mount of Olives where
he sweats drops of blood; and his Journey to the cross and his crucifixion.
The parts of Lucius (a Roman soldier), the wicked King
Herod, Pontius Pilate, and the criminal Barabbas receive much
more attention and better acting than those of John the Baptist,
Mary, and all of Jesus' apostles.
The plot in "King of Kings" fills in the actions of Barabbas which
are excluded in the Bible. The religious meaning of Jesus' death as a
ralvation to man is presented' in the character Barabbas. When
Barabbas is released from prison instead of Jesus he cannot underhand his freedom, because he had been the wicked one, even trying
to use Jesus and his teachings to overthrow the Romans.
Other than that one indication of religious interpretation, the
rest of the movie represents little more than a quick account of
Jesus' life on earth.
Samuel Bronston seemed to be trying to produce a big money
fpectacular, but he fell short of "Ben Hur" and "The Ten Commandments." Bronston spared no money or effort or actors, but he
failed to capture the religious significance of Jesus' life either in the
acting or the script. Instead of presenting the story as a moving
drama, he attempted to make it more human and natural
than a spiritual situation. He tried to update a story, which has al- '
.
ready lived long in its original form.
