Occult (Continued from page 1) Kitten describes the Catholic Church’s position on Satanism as strong. “Anything that becomes a mis placed worship would be wrong with any religious group,” he says. “This is a replacement of a force of evil for a source of good. For it would ob viously be wrong. It would be wrong in an extreme way because it’s not only the replacement of money for God, but of evil incarnate for God. It is the ultimate replacement.” Dale Culberthson, a sergeant in the Bryan Police Department, says isolated reports concerning Sata nism and the occult have been re ported in the area, including muti lated cows, fires and the painting of occult symbols on buildings. Three years ago, a group of high school students were apprehended on the Texas A&M campus by Uni versity Police for breaking into Rud der Tower and conducting a satanic ceremony. Bob Wiatt, director of security and University Police, says the stu dents were in the midst of having a ceremony when officers arrived at the scene. Police confiscated their materials, including symbols, knives, daggers, robes and books. Wiley (Continued from page 1) Jonah filled in for U.N. Secretary- General Javier Perez de Cuellar, who was scheduled to speak but could not attend due to current af fairs in Namibia. “People many times wonder why the United Nations has taken a hos tile attitude toward Israel or the situ ation in the Middle East,” Jonah said. “Unless there are sufficient changes on all sides, we may be drift ing once more to powder keg (not peace),” he said. Jonah said the United Nations has a policy of opposing the occupation of territory. “It’s a long tradition,” Jonah said, The students were taken to the campus police station and were re ferred to juvenile probation. Jerry Ellis, principal of Bryan High School, says he’s seen occult- related activities on his campus only on a limited basis. Chalk symbols were found on walls and messages were written on bathroom mirrors, but he doesn’t consider it a problem at the high school and says the ad ministration “feels good about the situation.” Kitten says it would be difficult for the Catholic Church to begin any type of course or counseling pro gram about Satanism because of the difficulties of sustaining it over time. However, he says he would be sur prised if churches in the Brownsville area (a town on the Mexican-Ameri- can border) do not respond to the situation there concerning death of the UT student. Father Ralph Rogawski, a travel ling missionary for the Dominican Missionary Preaching Team, who lives in McAllen, which is approxi mately 50 miles from Brownsville, says the church there is not consid ering a program focusing on the dangers of the occult because he doesn’t believe the 12 deaths in Mex ico are necessarily cult-related. “Just because of the incident We need to build up a new initiative in a different climate with tempers lowered on the West Bank, and a plan within reach to lay the base for compromises on both sides.” — Robert McFarlane, former national security adviser down here and what people say has happened, we don’t know for sure (Satanism) is involved,” Rogawski says. “The church is going to be slow in dealing with it without a thorough investigation into the matter. You I his is a replacement of a force of evil for a source of good. For it would obviously be wrong. It would be wrong in an extreme way because it’s not only the replacement of money for God, but of evil incarnate for God. “It is the ultimate replacement.” — Father Marvin Kitten, Catholic priest don’t know to what extent any actual occult activity is going on.” A distinct relationship between young people who are Satanists and those that are suicidal and have come from homes where they’ve giving examples of Afghanistan and Indians in Bangladesh. “We feel obliged to support the Palestinian people. It’s my belief that we can’t expect just and lasting peace until the Palestinians are satisfied.” The panel discussion was moder ated by Ed Bradley, co-editor of CBS’ “60 Minutes.” The lecture series is privately funded from an endowment by James and A:.P. Wiley. One-half to one-third of the interest from the endowment is given for the series each year. The program is com pletely put together by students. been abused exists, Patterson says. Patterson says 95 percent of the people Exodus has treated claimed to be suicidal, and 75 percent of them claimed to have come from homes where they were either sex ually or physically abused. Though Satanism is a recognized religion, several offshoots of it exist. Some of these don’t believe in Satan as a deity they should worship, Pat terson says. She says that often, it’s up to the individual to believe what they want to believe. “They believe in what they think is Satanism,” she said. “It may be dif ferent from what you or I think it is.” Grad fee (Continued from page 3) “Many students apply to the uni versity just to see if they’ll get in,” Brown said. “Somewhere the cost of processing has to be paid and an ap plication fee seems the most obvious choice.” Texas Tech University and Rice University are examples of schools that do not charge an application fee. Officials from both universities said costs for applications are made up in other school fees. Debbie Thorne, an A&M grad uate student in marketing, said she was surprised that A&M did not have an application fee. “I completed my undergraduate work at Abilene Christian University where we had a fee,” Thorne said. “So when I applied last summer I found it unusual that A&M didn’t charge one.” Thorne said the $25 charge is rea sonable. “The fee causes potential students to be more selective, therefore rais ing the quality of the University,” she said. “Besides, if a student really wants to go to a school, paying $25 shouldn’t stop them.” Engelgau said if a student leaves the University for whatever the rea son, upon re-admittance he must pay the fee. Bradley (Continued from page 3) questions. "He agreed to give me five minutes for the interview, and he said to me, This isn’t your first day on the job, is it?’ And I said, ‘No, not really.’ Never telling the truth but not tell ing a lie — it wasn’t my first day be cause I didn’t have the job yet.” After working for WCBS for more than three years, Bradley de cided to move to Paris, where he worked as a CBS stringer — or free lance reporter — for more than a year. When he returned to New York in 1971, CBS offered him a desk job in New York, which is when Bradley’s flippant remark began to change his career. “When I came back from Paris, I realized that I had to get back into this business all of the way or get out of it all the way,” he said. “So I went to New York and met with the for eign editor of CBS. He said he knew 1 wanted to live overseas, but that he didn’t have anywhere overseas to send me. He said he could probably find me a desk job in New York. “I was not enamored of New York at the time. I was trying to think of the worst place in the world, and I said, ‘New York? I’d rather live in Vietnam than in New York.’ “He looked at me and said, ‘Are you volunteering?’ ” In 1972, Bradley was sent to CBS’ Saigon bureau for 20 months. When the United States pulled out of Viet nam, Bradley was reassigned to the Washington bureau. “I came back to Washington and was terribly unhappy,” he said. “I didn’t like being low man on the to tem pole, and there were 28 report ers in the bureau at that time, and I was number 28. I never got anything aired, and I hated it. “The foreign editor called me on a Thursday and asked if I would consider going back to Cambodia. I said yes, but he told me to think about it and let him know the next day. “When he called the next day, I told him I was going. He asked if I could get there by the end of the next week. I told him I was leaving on a plane the next day and would be there Sunday.” When Bradley arrived in Cambo dia that Sunday, he was being fired at upon arrival. He shot a series of film and sent it back to the bureau when the plane left that day. For the next several weeks, Bradley had a piece run in the States every day. “It’s been said by others and I be lieve that we had the best coverage of Cambodia,” he said. After being one of the last Ameri cans evacuated from Indochina, Bradley returned to the U.S. in 1975, and soon became the anchor of “The CBS Sunday Night News.” Since 1981, he has worked with “60 Minutes,” and has received three Emmy awards for his coverage of schizophrenia, convicted murderer Jack Henry Abbott, and an interview with Lena Horne. Bradley said his interview with “I I was not enamored of New York at the time. I was trying to think of the worst place in the world, and I said, ‘New York? I’d rather live in Vietnam than in New York.’ He looked at me and said, ‘Are you volunteering?’ ” — Ed Bradley Lena Horne is his most memorable piece. “It was one of the best interviews I’ve ever done,” he said. “I had read all of her stories over the years — I had read three books about her and stacks of press releases, so I knew all of the stories she told. But when I sat down to talk to her, I started getting stories I had never read. “When we finished the interview, there was someone in the room that was a friend of Lena’s, and who had known her for years. And she said, T have known her for 25 years, and I heard her talk about things tonight that I never heard her talk about.’ Bradley said three components have enabled his success. “You have to have three things to make it in this business,” he said. “You have to have talent. That’s something you’re born with, but it’s something that you have to improve and work on. And that leads to the second quality, which is hard work. “Hard work is the key to success. And the third thing you have to have is luck. And I find that the harder I work, the better my luck gets.” For the future of news, Bradley sees a need for an increase in con cern over the state of education in the U.S. “You people are the future of this country,” he said. “And you need to know about this country to survive., If you don’t know about the world you’re competing in, how can you compete?” Bradley spoke on behalf of the lecture series, “The Middle East: Peace or Powder Keg,” which was Wednesday. Bradley served as mod erator for the debate. I A iWaterbeds&Bedroomsi %>PcwIAL I EFFECTS !
