Thursday, March 4,1993 The Battalion Page 5 Getting a leg up JUQ/IARD DIXON/The Bntlnlion Nathan Dougles, a senior veterinary medicine Wednesday afternoon. Dougles is being major from Georgetown, is testing a horse for assisted by Glenda Pearce, who is a technician lameness outside the large animal clinic at the animal clinic. Religion debate Continued from Page 1 be taken literally. "What we have is six stages of creation," he said. "That does not mean six 24-hour days." The Agnostic and Atheist Group stressed the importance of knowing the definitions of agnos tic and atheist. Brett Lemoine, a senior com puter science major, said an athe ist denies the existence of God while an agnostic has yet to de cide whether God exists. "I don't want you to think that atheists are all depressed and looking for things that aren't there," Lemoine said. "I'm happy with my life." "I don't want you to think that atheists are all depressed ... I'm happy with my life." -Brett Lemoine The panelists for Campus Cru sade for Christ explained why they are Christians. "We find Christianity to be the only religion that is internally consistent," Swanson said. "Christianity is not a list of do's and don'ts. Christianity is being close to God." Kim Moreland, sophomore bi ology and Russian major, said she grew up in an agnostic family and converted to Christianity. "I'm able to deal with prob lems a lot better because I know God is in control," she said. "I feel like I'm whole now." Many members of the audi ence said the debate went well, but both groups weren't always clear in their responses. "The Campus Crusade seemed, to contradict their own statements, but the Agnostic and Atheist Group did avoid some questions," said Stacey McCo- mas, sophomore microbiology major. Some audience members said the groups were successful at be ing respectful of each other. "It went very smoothly," said Bud Cox, mechanical engineering graduate student. "There are a lot of people who can't make the time to study religions." Graduation Continued from Page 1 "I think it's necessary, but it needs more ad vance notice," DuChamp said. "In the future, I think they should implement another cere mony." According to the memo, implementing an additional ceremony was disregarded in an ef fort to "avoid further strains on tight re sources." Carter said time and cost restraints would make it difficult to implement a fourth gradu ation ceremony. "We reviewed all alternatives, and this is the best one we could come up with given the facility and the shortness of time," Carter said. There will be closed-circuit viewing of the graduation ceremonies in one of the Rudder theaters for the overflow crowd where no ad mission tickets are required. "I think under the new circumstances, it's no different in the long run," Koldus said. "There's been an overflow in the past and we may be able to accommodate the overflow bet ter this way." Carter said degree candidates will be re ceiving more information about the admission tickets for commencement exercises soon.. Whether admission tickets will be required for the August and December commencement exercises will depend on the number of gradu ation candidates since they are not traditional ly as large as the May ceremonies. "This was a very difficult decision for the president to make because we know how im portant this is to the degree candidate and their family and friends," Carter said.
