Page ip • The Battalion Opinion Wednesday • Sept ember 14 51 ANNOUNCING TWO N E W C R E F ACC O U N I S YOU’RE LOOKING AT TWO COMPLETELY OPPOSITE, FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT WAYS TO INVEST IN STOCKS. WE RECOMMEND BOTH. Introducing the CREF Growth Account and the CREF Equity Index Account. W hether you want a fund that selects specific stocks or one that covers the market, we re on the same page. Our new CREF Growth and CREF Equity Index Accounts use two distinct strategies for investing in the stock mar ket, but both aim to provide what every smart investor looks for: long-term growth that outpaces inflation.* The CREF Growth Account searches for individual companies that are poised for superior growth. In contrast, the Equity Index Account looks for more diversification, with a portfolio encom passing almost the entire range of U. S. stock investments. It will invest in stocks in the Russell 3000®,** a broad index of US. stocks. Like our CREF Stock Account, which combines active, indexed, and foreign investing, and our Global Equities Account, which actively seeks opportuni ties worldwide, the new funds are managed by experienced investment professionals. They’re the same experts who have helped make TIAA-CREF the largest pension system in the U.S., managing over $130 billion in assets. To find out more about our new stock funds, and building your portfolio with TIAA-CREF, just call 1 800-842-2776. And take your pick. j3EE Ensuring the future for those who shape it. 5 * *The new funds are available for Retirement Annuities subject to the terms of your institutions plan. They are available for all Supplemental Retirement Annuities. *The Russell 3000 is a registered trademark of the Frank Russell Company. Russell is not a sponsor of the CREF Equity Index Account and is not affiliated with it in any way. iplete information, including charges and expenses, call 1 800-842-2733, ext. 5509 for a CREF prospectus.

No matter which side you are on, there are certain facts that must be considered. When America was estab lished, our founding fathers recognized the impli cation of religion in a free society. Many of the people came to America to escape religious perse cution. They wanted to be able to practice their own beliefs without the imposition of others. The concept of freedom of religion works in two different ways. To be able to follow your own be liefs, and also to not have others’ beliefs forced upon you. In Heidi W. Voges’ Sept. 8 letter to the Battalion, she stated that our earliest schools be gan in churches. This may be true, but most of the earliest settlers were Christian.
