Ha FEBRUARYS 1982 PAGEReligious Issues

Moral Majority's*W a r O n H u m a n i s mWhen I first noticed that theMoral Majority was waging anattack on humanism in the nameof their brand of Christianity I didnot take it very seriously. But asthe attack gets more vicious I aminclined \ now to take it very

seriously. S ^ ~g? *The religion editor of theToronto Star, T om' Harpur,(Toronto Star, Nov. 16, 1981)shares my concern. These peopleare attacking the wrong target.They are confused about whathumanism is and does and whatrole it has played in the history ofChristian life and thought andaction. J 43t> The Moral Majority is doingwhat Khomeini d id . withAmerican democracy during thehostage crisis. They have iden-tified humanism with thedemonic, a s Khomeini identifiedAmerican democracy and Jim-my Carter with the literalizeddevilt They are the victims oftheir own biblical literalism. ^A former hostage of Khomeini,MoorheadC. Kennedy Jr. , who isalso a former member of theAmerican State Department, iscurrently making that assess-ment of Khomeini and JerryFalwell. *feI "What does Khomeini tell usabout Jerry Falwell?** he asks.He tells us that both leaders per-sonify the retreat Jnto literalismi response to. "tremendouspsycnic siranT^neveramfT'rairiDealer 1/9/82). The pressures onsuch public figures of what theyregard to be ; moral, social,p o l i t i c a l , a n d r e l i g i o u sbreakdowns, leads them into ex-aggerated, biblical interpreta-tions based on literal understan-dings when they interpret publicissues and conditions. . Tom Harpur points out that theMoral Majority should be attack-ing war, poverty, oppression.Those are evils which thehumanist conscience cries butagainst and if Christians of theMoral Majority and Christianhumanists were to pool theirresources against such evils theywould be doing humanity a g reatservice.^.A % .'; :

.Instead the Moral Majority isbranding humanism as atheisticand demonic. They a re ignoringthoses centuries of Jewish andChristian effort during whichdevout humanists did their bestto upgrade the human conditionin the spirit of the Exodus and theSermon on the Mount, in imita-tion of Moses and Jesus.Religious or devout humanism isthe concern for improving thehuman condition by way of blen-ding the best of religious ideaswith thebest of all available lear-ning so as to make it possible forus to live.to the fullest of ourhuman potent i a l . ThomasAquinas can be said to have enun-ciated this idea perfectly when hesaid that 'grace perfects natureand does not destroy it.'Jesus himself is the first of theChristian humanists. He lives,preaches, works, organizes, suf-fers and dies for the sake of thepoor, publicans, sinners, and allof humankind. In Matthew'sgospel, in the parable of thetalents, (25:14), Jesus lays thef o u n d a t i o n o f C h r i s t i anhumanism when he encouragesthe development of humanity toits fullest potential, I *&-l In that same chapter Jesus alsosays that "in so far as you did it tothe*least of these brothers ofmine, you did it to me," (MT.25:40). The basic spirit. thatunderlies Christian humanism isTapuJre^J^JPsu^iHiTTTWrnTTT^that "the Sabbath was made forman, and not man for the Sab-bath." Christianity is designed tobe of service to humanity, tomake it possible for human per-sons to. lead as complete a humanlife a s possible. ^ ' 3Christian fundamentalist donot understand humanism thisway. .They take their understan-ding of, humanism from a fewAmerican Humanists who takeboth a humanist and an atheiststance. They fail to discern thatthese American humanists haveseparated themselves from them a i n s t r eam of devout orreligoius humanism which hasbeen part of the history ofChristianity. y

In the heat of their battle theMoral Majority have ignored thegreat fathers of the church likeIrenaeus who understood Jesusas the m odel of the . perfectedhuman life, the examplar of atranscendent humanism in hisrole as Second Adam. They alsooverlook the whole monasticmovement of the Benedictineswho worked and prayed in theirreligious families to bring aboutthe best in human living.They also forget the OxfordReformers of the Renaissancewho worked tirelessly to blendChristian learning and devotionwith Greek and Roman learningand wisdom in the intere st of bet-ter medicine, better economics,better Biblical texts, betterunderstanding of how the Chris-tian life should be lived in theworld by all.T h e a l s o i g n o r e g r e a thumanists such as John XXXIII(Angelo Roncalli), Dag Ham-marskold, Jacques Maritain,Martin Luther King Jr., T.S.Eliot, and Dorothy Day. Evenmore significantly it should benoted that they ignore the Chris-tian humansim of the foundingand development of the Univer-sities and Colleges of Europe andAmerica. vThe monks and friars whoformed the Universities of Ox-ford, Cambridge, and Paris wereclearly fostering the tradition ofChristian Humanism. -.

Throughsnow, construction, Pittsburght r a f f i c a n d \ t h e c o l dtemperatures, about 15,000'fansturned out to see the entertainerperforin. He did draw some boosat the Pittsburgh Civic Arena,but one can expect them when theartist says * his saxophonist isfrom San Francisco and that he 'llbe playing in Cincinnati the nextnight. The Steelers may be .500but the fans don't forget. / fc ,'*&$ The fans also drew some booze- from Stewart himself, whopoured as many cups of brandyfor front row fans as his bottlewouldhold. And that's the natureof Stewart, atboisterous locker-room buddy who shares his fun.w * He was certainlyj boisterous,once the show started more thanhalf an hour late; twisting, pun-ching the air, dancing atop stagerisers doing jumping jacks, wig-gling his skinny backside, andlicking soccer balls to the crowd.But despite the variety, the factis that his voice is succumbing toage. It was obvious from theopening "Gi' Me Love" that it'slower-pitched, with a correspon-ding reduction in its famous"sandpaper" quality.c .4Perhaps that's the reason heled so many sing-alongs, letting

the fans handle the vocals forhim. Whatever, at 37 he simply isnot as dynamic or commanding asinger on hot, hard rock and rollsongs, of which there were plen-ty. Last fTuesday he offeredseveral, including more of his oldsongs (not counting his hits like"You Wear It Well" and "MaggieMay"). The' surprises included"Stay With Me", as hot and hardas he could get; a tidbit of"Gasoline Alley**; the "tempta- tions", 'Tm**Losing You", and "Rock My Plim Soul" from hisvery first album with Jeff Beck. %..'He also rocked*his two discohits, "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"and '*Passion",j>mQre than he Jdiscoed them* * 'M^t ", %6 The stage was clean'and therewas enough color in Stewart'sgetups to keep the flashbulbs pop-ping like a firefly contention; redpull-on pants with a leopard skinprint (which developed a tear inEa somewhat precarious place -ahem), a yellow and red beachtowel, a white top, black slacks,and light boots - even a Pitt-sburgh Spirit jersey with "No 1"and "R.

Over the sound blaring televi-sion, over the blasting radio sta-tion, over the clack-clack of type-writers, a new sound emerges.

This is thebeginning of the '.'Midnight snackattack." * , *.Many students suffer from thisdreaded infection which can becountered only . by willpower.Each student who can't resist theattack uses a different sou rce for"feeding" the germ.

Otherresidents also find that being "onboard"! doesn't negate expen-ditures on food. One Baldwin resi-dent is lucky; sh e spends only $5per 1month.

FEBRUARYS 1982 PA" Dev as t a t i n g " :I I ^ j Student Aid Cuts|WashingtoO| DC. (CPS) - It will be "devastating."At least tha t's what G erald Roschwalb, a leading college lobbyistin Washington, D.C., thinks the student aid section of the ad-ministration's still-secret 1983 federal b udget proposal will be.The sense of foreboding is widespread here as rumors fly of whatPresident Reagan will recommend lor higher education when hepresents his budget proposals the second week of February.Though no one outside the administration knows exactly what theeducation budget will be, the outlines presented in DavidStockman's December budget suggestions and then in budget"compromises" leaked to the press have most college lobbyistshere busily predicting doom for all federal student aid programs.In Stockman's proposals, two of the three campus-based studentaid programs - Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants(SEOGs) and National Direct Student Loan$ (NDSLs) - w ould beeliminated entirely. * jfj jr, 3. The third campus-based program -College Work-Study - wouldsuffer a $150 million cut from 1982 appropriations.| The State Student Incentive Grants program would also be endedunder Stockman's proposals. ^ . .,, '(Congress last year agreed to cancel Social Security benefits tostudents not enrolled in a college by May 1, 1982.). j .The two most popular aid programs - Guaranteed Student Loans(GSLs) and Pell Grants - would also be changed, with appropria-tions cut by more than half. W% iAdministration budget chief Stockman also wants to end interestsubsidies for GSLs, raise the loan origination fee from five to tenpercent, and drop grad students from the program. All otherstudents would repay their loans at current market interest ratestwo years after leaving school. - j VIn all, Stockman proposed a $8 billion Dept. of Education budget,compared to the $8.4 billion Education Secretary Terrel Bellwanted.^ E l y jj 7y V J; L Under Congress' continuing budget resolution, the EducationDept. 1982 budget is $12.9 billion* . ; r ' i ;Immediately after Stockman released his proposals, Bell askededucation lobbyists to help him persuade the president to requestmore money in the administration's fina l 1963 budget proposal toCongress, which is due Feb ruary 8th. jl -ttrirfiReagan reportedly agreed to increase funding in some areas.Sources estimate the White House will agree to a 20-30 percentslash in Pell Grant junding^yersus the 56 percent in the StockmanThe White House also reportedly agreed to save NDSLs andSEOGs in some form; K X, ~A ,^L. -^The truth won't be known until the adminstration delivers theproposals to Congress, but the rumors are enough to inspireforecasts of doom among college lobby ists.The budget, even a fter the repo rted White House compromises,would "clearly be a disaster for American higher education, ,r theAmerican Council on Education asserted in a recent letter re-questing lobbying help from college presidents.J*.The National Coalition of Independent College and UniversityStudents called the budget proposals an "attack on the future ofAmerican higher education. &2 $' 4 i^ Reagan, says Roschwalb, who is lobbyist for the NationalAssociation of Sta te Un iversities and Land-Grant Colleges, is play-ing a "brilliant game" of politics by threatening such low fundingthat anyincreases gained m Congress will "seem like a great con-quest, when in fact they are still enormous defea ts." ?E *"He likens it to thugs threatening to destroy a home and rape theoccupants, but who "only steal your television, so you think you goto(f easy." 3' f .5j' J * / & Even without the next round of aid cuts, colleges ar e still tryingto cope with the cuts Congress has already approved.Dallas Martinof the National- Association of Student F inancial [Aid Ad-ministrators is most concerned about the end of student SocialSecurity benefits. * * "JJ ?*??

The date was February n,1981. The site was the GannonAudi. The event was one of themost memorable performancesby a Mercy hurst basketballteam, the 59-58 victory over theGolden Knights. The victory stun-ned the Gannon Campus as wellas the Erie community. 'Hurstsenior Dan Brown sank a jumperwith eight seconds oh the clock togive the Lakers the victory.Besides scoring the winningbasket and j. finishing with 20points Brown went down as thegame hero. | j f,But another Laker played whatprobably was his greatest gameever that night, and has sincebeen forgotten.
