I Editorials Schlitz On Tap In The Cafeteria? BY: DARRYL GOSSETT Mars Hill’s stance against allowing the consumption of alcohol on campus is easi ly justified. One obvious reason is because of the federal restrictions placed upon alcohol usage. By imposing a blanket censure on such substances, the college very wisely protects itself from having to deal with enforcing these rules. But even if alcohol were legal to drink from birth, Mars Hill would still be obligated to not allow it on campus, because of its strong affiliation with the Baptist Church. The Bible teaches us that the body is the temple of the Lord and that cleanliness is next to Godliness; therefore, as Christians, to pollute our bodies in such a manner would be to go against these teachings. u au * itc So, wouldn’t you be surprised, and wouldn’t you feel the college had betrayed its Christian beliefs, if you walked into the cafeteria tomorrow and notwed that Stroh s Light had been added to the variety of drinks offered? Yes, most of us would ques tion such an event. Yet everyday, on the way to our dorm rooms, we pass cigarette machines in our lobbies offering a dozen different varieties of tobacco with which to pollute our lungs. ... , Obviously, as in the case with alcohol, if people want to smoke, they will find oc casion to do so, and I’m not even saying that they shouldn’t do it on campus. However, sanctioning a practice which has been proven to kill people by providing convenient access in the dormitories seems so opposed to the precepts of Christiam y that it would be almost laughable if it weren’t so sad. preciation to anyone in the government Editorial Comment administration.
