PAGE 2 — THE DECREE — NOVEMBER 30,2001 War stirs varied campus reaction; By LATISHA GRAY The date Sept. 11 gave new meaning to the word terrorism across the world. Many are now waiting and watching to see ex actly what will happen as the dawn of global unrest approaches. We at The Decree asked mem bers of the Wesleyan community what they think will happen after ' the smoke clears and decisions have to be made. Are we ready for war in the 21st Century? Tina Barkley, filling in for Marie in Admissions: “I think we are going to go to war and it’s a good thing. Be cause we can’t let these other countries get away with terroriz ing the United States, and I’m ready to go because I’m in the guard.” Sandra Radican, Criminal Jus tice Major: “I think our next step is to look at putting America back into or der and going ahead to see what we can do to make our people feel safe again. It seems there are a lot of people who think we have terrorists right here in America that are going to continue doing damage. Even after the President decides whatever type of retalia tion and decides whichever coun try he’s going to take, he needs to look at what else is going to hap pen to the United States. How is this going to affect the citizens? How long are we going to be able to protect the ones that are still here? “I don’t want to see innocent people get hurt, especially here in the U.S. I guess I’m saying immigrants. I don’t want to see us turn around and be terrorists ourselves. I think there’s a lot that the government and the citizens need to look at. How would we want to be treated, which way should we go?” Nicholas Stams, Senior, CIS Major; The Decree OFFICIAL STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF NORTH CAROUNA WESLEYAN COLLEGE Editor-in-Chief: Shannon E.

Opinions published do not necessarily reflect those of the MEMBER ■^■assi mMmPREi Assdcjated CQLLeCIATe Press “I think it’s pretty pitiful. I think it’s cowardly for someone to try something like that and I think it’s more cowardly to suc ceed in something like that and not take credit for it. I personally think that the U.S. should go over and wipe out all terrorist coun tries. If terrorists are known to be there, just wipe them out, women and children, I don’t care. So if they all grow up to do the same thing, we can kill them before they get there to do it. I think the U.S. will eventually go over and level somebody, be it a month or a year.” Jason Likens, Senior, CIS Ma jor; “Osama bin Laden is a cow ard. He should be killed. A pub lic hanging.” Stacy Lamb, Sophomore, El ementary Education Major; “I think they should find out who did this and do whatever’s best and not let it destroy our na tion like it already has.” Janice Harvey, Junior, Crimi nal Justice Major: “I feel like we should really get down to who did it. I hope it doesn’t come to a war because our nation is already in a bad situ ation. If we have a war that’s go ing to cause more men to be lost, because you never know who’s going to get hurt and who’s go ing to get killed. It’s a lot of people out here who are scared. The main point, we need to know who did it and why and if there is some justice that can be done about it without going to war.” Jeanarme Kenney, CIS Instruc tor: “I honestly think we need to at least proceed in the direction of maybe going over there and de fending our honor. Because if we don’t do that this time, I think that in the long run, our nation as a whole won’t be considered as powerful as we have been in the past.” Bobbi Jo Squires, Political Sci ence/Criminal Justice Major: “I think our next step shoi be to retaliate against those w did this to us. I guess in a w I’m pro-war. I think what th did was cruel, but then again need to watch out who we atta We don’t need to kill innoce people.” Debra Pittman, Director of curity: “I really have mixed emotio because the religious side of says vengeance is mine, said Lord. But then there’s another p of me that thinks we should taliate. “I think it’s going to takel long time for the country as whole because we’ve alwa thought of ourselves as Ameiij being invincible. I do feel soi for young people, especially ci lege age and high school becai the more of this that goes on, more your youth is stolen. Yoi never feel the same way about the United States.” Volleyball team ends seasonl By MICHAEL GARCIA The Volleyball Team ended the 2001 season with a record of 8-22 and a conference record of 5-9.
