Elon’s chaplain aids in
well-rounded education
Last week’s symposium on “Real Men and Real Wjmen” provided
much-needed insight into one of today’s most highly-debated issues.
Hon students and the surrounding community were given the oppor
tunity to hear and express various opinions concerning the topic. This
esperience, however, would not have been possible without the
thorough planning of Elon’s chaplain, the Rev. Richanrd McBride.
It is important few ail colleges and universities to have spiritual
leaders on their campuses. But, McBride is actively involved in the
academic life of the coll^ community as well. His efforts, though,
often go unnoticed by both students and faculty.
These symposiums which McBride organizes spark classroom
discussions that might not otherwise occur. While he is available to
the students, fiaculty and administration for religious matters, he is
also aiding in the develpoment of a well-rounded college atmosphere
for students who attend Eton.
would like to thank Rev. McBride for all of the hard work that
he puts iitto the symposiums, as well as other activities, at Elon. Con
gratulations on a job well done!

Letter to the editor
Reader applauds Reagan attack on Libya
To the editor:
Anne Cassebaum may be ap
palled by the military retaliation
of the United States against the
terrorist activities perpetrated by
the Soviet-supported Qaddafi
regime. (Letter to the editor,
Sept. 18,1986.) I, however, ap
plaud them. She acts as if the Li
byans were not prewamed to
cease their activities. I too am
disgusted by the Libyans’ total
disregard for human life and their
insatiable appetite for deadi
Americans.
Comrade Cassebaum is ob
viously unaware, like so many
other Americans, of Col. Qad
dafi’s payment of $4 million to
fellow terrorist Abu Nidal for in
ternational terrorist attacks
against U.S. citizens. Col. Qad
dafi is also the proud founder of
44 terrorists training facilities
within the Libyans’ borders, or
(wrhaps she believes that the Li
byans plan to attack citizens of the
Soviet Union?
Comrade Cassebaum ques
tions whether America’s attack
will cease terrorist activities
against Americans altogether. I
doubt that it will, but, there is no
denying that President Reagan’s
actions have defmitely cutrailed
terrorist actions against
Americans and thus saved the
lives of my American brothers
and sisters abroad.
I applaud the message that
President Reagan sent to ter
rorists abroad. Those who feel
that Americans are open game are
seriously mistaken, and those
who choose to do so will face
severe repercussions. The brutal
murder of Americans will no
longer be a crime that goes
without recognition.
1 must agree with her that Qaa-
dafi is not solely responsible for
terrorism. In order to discover
who is responsible, one must
simply trace the origin of ter
rorism to one nation that solely
supports every terrorist organiza
tion in the world, such as the
PLO, IRA, ANC and,
SWAPO.This peace-loving na
tion is of course the Soviet Union.
