Administration redefined
Editor:
I am sorry that I was misinter
preted in my “interview when I
chose to use the word “administra
tion,” I used it to define persons such
as the University President, Vice-
Presidents and other staff persons
employed by the school in non
teaching administrative capacities.
In my opinion, the Board of Regents
is not to be included in this group.
They are not salaried employees of
the University; they are chosen by
the powers-that-be in Austin. The
Regents’ purpose is long-range
planning, not executing the plans
they make.
The anonymous author of Wed
nesday’s endorsement editorial
claimed I used the word “adminis
tration” in a “nebulous manner, fur
ther claiming that the administration
and the Board of Regents are one and
the same. I argue that the Board and
the University administration are
two separate entities and cannot be
placed in the same category. The
Battalion itself is being “nebulous”
when it lumps the administration
and the Regents into the same
group.
Now, to clarify my position on
“campus policy” and the Board’s role
in it. To me, campus policy means
student life regulations. I do not be
lieve that the Board of Regents
should be responsible for campus
policy. The students themselves,
with the administration’s guidance,
can handle student affairs. Let the
Board concern themselves with fu
ture planning; let us, the students,
handle campus policy.

it to be popular. God does not con
done sin. He tells his followers to
give up sinning and come to Christ.
Mr. Garrett should not talk about
what he does not know. False
teachers who support homosexuality
should heed God’s warning and re
pent.
Sam Williams
Editorials are the responsiblitiy of
the editor, and, as such, are not
anonymous. The Board of Regents
has been appointed by the governor
to administer the affairs of the Texas
A&M University System. (Big fish

Too much
Editor:
I, personally, am sick and tired of
all the publicity and “help” given to
the homosexuals on this campus.

Sinners, repent
Faulty logic
Editor:
In answer to Mr. Garrett, first, it
is obvious you have never read the
Bible, and second, any competent
Bible scholar will tell you that the
Old Testament can be found in the
original languages and are unadult
erated. Also, if that is not enough,
the apostle Paul in his letter to the
Romans condemns homosexuality.
Homosexuality is a mental aberra
tion and a sin, even though some
modern psychiatrists are redefining
Editor:
Concerning Mr. Garrett’s letter
(April 2) on homosexuality, I would
like to refute his logic. He stated the
homosexual acts are illegal, not
homosexuality. If a person partici
pates in a homosexual act, then logic
dictates that he or she is a homosex
ual. How can one separate the two?
If the acts are illegal and the acts are
considered homosexuality, it follows
that it, too, is illegal.
If Mr. Garrett says the Bible has
been altered by translations, he
should refer to the original text
(Greek). In English it will still say
homosexuality is not normal (Rom
1:27). If he would like to use the
books not used much by Christians,
then go to Leviticus 20:13. It says
homosexuality is an abomination!
Christians now use the New Tes
tament because the Old Testament
was fulfilled by Christ, and he did
away with the old law. We are now
under a new law found in the New
Testament. This is why Christians
refer to the New Testament.
Like Mr. Garrett says, everyone
has the right to practice what they
believe, but if a person believes kil
ling is right, would that be all right to
practice? Certainly not!
It’s the law and the law says a per
son cannot practice homosexuality.
To change the law, write the legisla
ture. not the Batt.

The walls at the entrances to the A&M
campus are brightly illuminated at night
by wasteful lighting. In the buildings,
however, people are admonished to re
duce superfluous lighting. Is lighting “The
Wall” more important than lighting classes
and offices? The administration needs to
rethink its priorities in this area.
