Speakers at a public discussion
concerning the separation of church and
state found much to agree on Tuesday
night.
The current debate which we are
having as a nation about the proper role
of religion and the proper place of
religious leaders in our political life is
really an extraordinarily healthy
debate," said Barry Hager, N.C. direc
tor of People for the American Way.
He said he was concerned, however,
about the rise in power of the "ultra
fundamentalist" Moral Majority, its
leader, the Rev. Jerry Falwell, and other

China still has a long way to go, but
the nation is now on the way to
economic recovery, former Chinese
Ambassador to Turkey Liu Chun told
a group of students in the Student
Union Tuesday. '
Chun, president of. the- College of
Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic
of China, was speaking on behalf of
a delegation from the college which is
currently visiting UNC. After a short
statement about the future of China as
an economic power, Chun heard ques
tions from the audience dealing with
everything from the nation's tremend
ous ethnic and cultural diversity to the
failure of the Cultural Revolution.

groups, united as the American Coa
lition for Traditional Values, broadcast
old fashioned politics in the name of
religious programming. He said Falwell
and his followers wanted to impose a
national religion.
The Rev. Robert Seymour, senior
minister of Olin T. Binkley Memorial
Baptist Church, said Baptists were in
part responsible for separating church
and state when the U.S. Constitution
was framed.
"Baptists have been vigilant in
seeking to perpetuate the separation of

not been smooth," Chun said. "We were
poor, we were weak and we were not
united. China before 1948 was bullied
by the foreign powers and was really
a semi-colonial nation. The Chinese
people fought for more than 100 years
for their freedom, and only succeeded
in 1948."
Chun emphasized that while people
in the West see China as an ancient
country, in reality China has just begun
as a nation. "The PRC has just cele
brated its 35th anniversary," he said.
"As a country of revolution, it is very
young. Only since 1948 have we stood
up."
"From 1953 on, we began to build
socialism in our country," the former
ambassador said. "The people were full
of enthusiasm and we had completed

He said churches should enter the
political arena by encouraging members
to vote their consciences and not merely
cast an institutional block vote. He
called for religious leaders to encourage
the support of causes, not candidates,
and principles, not specific practices.
"For example, on the abortion issue,
the principle is a respect for life,"
Seymour said. "You can argue pro
choice or pro-life on the basis of respect
for life. 1 feel very resentful in the
implication that I'm not pro-life. I'm
pro-life and pro-choice."
Both speakers said the proper way
to mix politics and religion in a
addresses students in union
what we call a socialist transformation.
We should have built China into an
economically powerful country, but we
did not."
Chun said he saw the years from 1958
to 1978 as a wasted opportunity. "After
1958, we made one after another errors
in our work," he said. "We made the
error in building China of taking the
extra-left road.
In this vein, Chun called the Great
Lean Forward a mistake, and con
demned the late chairman Mao's
Cultural Revolution, which began in
1966, as a "catastrophe for Chinese
society.
But he said China is now on the right
road. "The China of today began in
1978,' Chun said. "We have put
emphasis on the economic development
of the nation and have begun to build
Chinese socialism acording to the
specific conditions of China."
China was once considered a rather
closed society, unwilling to asociate
with the rest of the world. But, accord
ing to Chun, that must change if the
People's Republic is to succeed in its
continued economic and social growth.

Once you've tasted
Killian's Irish Red,
you may never
go Dutch again.
Now don't get us
wrong. The Dutch
make some pretty fine
beers. But they don't
slow-roast their malt
like we do.
So no Dutch beer
has the color, the
character, the rich,
incredibly smooth taste
ofKillian's Red Ale.
So the next time
you're about to order
your favorite Dutch
beer, try a Killian's
Red, instead.
You may never go
Dutch again.

democracy is through tolerance. They
criticized ultra-fundamentalist leaders
for labeling those Who disagree with
their religious and political beliefs as
unpatriotic and ungodly.
"Falwell is in the habit of talking as
if he personally owned the American
flag as well as the Christian Bible,"
Hager said.
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Civil
Liberties Union sponsored the public
discussion at the Community Church
in Chapel Hill. The question and answer
period was moderated by Dorothy
Bernholz, attorney for UNC Student
Legal Services.
Chun said. "We must open our doors
to the world and make our economy
alive."
There are three principles which will
guide China as it goes through the
I980's, Chun said.
"We must defend world peace and
oppose hegemonism in any form, fulfill
the modernization of industry, defense,
agriculture and science and technology
and we must unite China into one
country," Chun said. He spoke with
pride of the success of the agricultural
reform of the last five years and of the
proposed urban reform. ' ,
"China is still a developing country,"
Chun said, "but we are now on the rijfit
road. As an old Chinese saying goes,
one cannot become a fat man overnignt.
One has to begin step by step."
For the record
In Monday's announcement of John
Anderson's speech, it was incorrectly
reported that he carried Orange County
as an independent in 1980. Jimmy
Carter won the most votes in Orange
County in 1980.
In Tuesday's story, ""Black Ink will

Minority Programming Division
should have been called Minority
Services, and Valaray Irvin should have
been quoted as saying one-half of black
freshmen had a quality point average
of 2.0 or less, suggesting their need to
visit Minority Services.
The Daily Tar Heel regrets the errors.

Chilean strike causes riot
From Associated Press reports
SANTIAGO, Chile Demon
strators battled police early yester
day, defying a curfew imposed to
curb violence that took at least seven
lives during one of the largest
protests in 1 1 years of military rule.
Residents in at least a dozen
working and middle-class districts in
Santiago reported that demonstra
tors erected flaming barricades and
threw rocks at riot police deployed
in the capital by President Augusto
Pinochet's military regime.
The police announced that six
people were killed in wiJespread
disorders in Santiago, and one man
was fatally shot in the port city of
Arica, 1.300 miles north of the
capital.
Authorities said 38 people were
injured including 16 police officers
and 155 were arrested Tuesday
as a Marxist-called national strike
crippled public transport and
erupted in disorders in scores of
Santiago neighborhoods.
Barfleld appeal
RALEIGH - A federal judge
agreed yesterday to hear an appeal
from condemned murderer Velma
Barfield while the 52-year-old
woman waited in her cell 18 steps
from North Carolina's death
chamber as supporters rallied to her
cause.
While Barfield prepared for her
tomorrow morning execution, her
lawyer vowed to fight to the highest
court in the country. The latest
battleground was before U.S. Dis
trict Court Judge Franklin Dupree
in Raleigh.
"From the time we filed, it was
destined to go to the U.S. Supreme
Court," said lawyer Jimmy Little.
"Whichever side lost would appeal
to the next highest court, he said.
"We were on a set course and
beginning Monday morning, our
aim was to go to as many courts
as necessary to find someone who
would deal with the issues."
Barfield, who would be the first
woman executed in 22 years in the
U.S., lost appeals Tuesday in a lower
state court and the North Carolina
Supreme Court.

At St. Stanislaw Kostka church
in Warsaw, where the Rev. Jerzy
Popieluszko's sermons defending
Solidarity used to draw several
thousand people, lights from
hundreds of candles flickered before
dawn today along the flower-strewn
gates surrounding the building.
Polish authorities Tuesday sug
gested the priest might have been
abducted and slain as part of a
broader conspiracy.
Before the announcement that
police frogmen, braving the icy
waters of a reservoir on the Vistula
river, had found the body on Tues
day, the Communist government
had said that three Interior Ministry
officers a captain and two lieut
enants would be charged with the
Oct. 19 kidnapping.
Charlotte investigation
CHARLOTTE Italian law
enforcement officials gathered in
Charlotte this week to investigate an
alleged international crime ring they
said cashed several million dollars in
fraudulent American checks through
out Europe.
Fabrizio Maggi, a 37-year-old
Italian, has been held in the Mec
klenburg County Jail since Oct. 12.
Officials say alleged co-conspirators
have been identified in Europe,
South America and New York.
In December, Magi and Anthony
Mixdorf of Australia were indicted
in Charlotte for allegedly taking part
in a SI. 6 million check forgery
operation using NCNB National
Bank checks.
They allegedly drew checks in the
name of an international corpora
tion, American Hoechst Corp. of
New Jersey, and cashed them
throughout Europe. Federal officials
say NCNB reported a $930,000 loss
on the company's account in
Asheviile.
