You celebrate getting older and growing with fan^ and friends. Some birthdays are considered more special than others. On your 16th birthday you get your driver’s license. On your 18th birthday you are old enough to get into clubs^and you can vote. On your 21st birthday you can drink legally and so on with other special birthdays. Birthdays are a big market economically. There are card shops that sell thousands of birthday cards, tee-shirts, and gifts every year. I remember when I was younger and I thought birthdays were the only time of the year I could get gifts other tl^ Christmas. Now ^s aren’t as important as just having someone to share the day with. I’ve come to realize that birthdays aie a celebration of life. CHAOS by Brian Shuster m. p r,i C Li [U a ini £ cW- "Well, I don't see any fingerprints. Whoever did this must have worn gloves."

Mike Wachtendorf s Babble On A Dying Lady Somewhere in the Western hemisphere about 200 years ago, there stood a mighty woman with unparalleled vision and determination. As people watched her, they admired her beauty, her courage, and the opportumty she represented. She was called many things. Tosomehername was “Freedom,” to others she was “Justice,” and those who knew her best called her “America.” After years of greatness and growth, she began to get old. Her own children forgot about all the things which made her the great lady she was. Some accused her of being ugly and out of date. Those who really loved her did their best to keep her beautiful and strong, but some insisted that she should change. They wanted her to become someone she was not. They took away her values, her virtue, and her \4sion. As the world now viewed their former darling they saw a frail tramp far from the greatness she once represented. Some folks refused to admit what they had done to her. They knew that they had blown it, but their own foolish pride allowed them to excuse their demoralizing actions. The lady got weaker and weaker. She was but as , of her former self. Folks even started refusing to looK»^ They were ashamed of the way she looked, but w made her the way she was. She was alone and dying: a victim of society. | One day, not so long ago, she was discoverer ; framework laid harshly on the ground, she was horrible sight. f( The world spread about the broken, old J wanted to help her, but didn’t know how.

In attempt to be timely, both the comic and the response appear in this issue. To the Editor of The Hilltop, Ponder This... The Brothers of Iota Alpha Omega Fraternity would like to make, a formal complaint pertaining to the anonymous cartoon printed in this edition of The Hilltop. We find this cartoon degrading toward the appearance of Greek organizations on this campus as well as our own. The cartoon printed does not give an accurate portrayal of what Greek organizations constitute and signify. Furthermore, as a Fraternity and organization of Christian men, we personally maintain that an individual’s beliefs are not a basis for entrance into an organization. The general misconception about joining a Greek organization is that personal beliefs become a basis for entrance. However, every organization has certain characteristics that tend to draw an individual toward it. Our fraternity also maintains that individual beliefs are to be preserved. We, as Christians, and as human beings, have no right to judge our fellow man, this alone is our Lord’s concern. It is for the sake of our Fraternity that we write this letter. The publishing of this cartoon not only diminishes our reputation but has the potential to destroy other Christian organizations as well. Jesus did . condemn the world but to save it. It is not our task an individual’s beliefs, but to lead others to Christ, this reason we denounce this judgement upon tb Greek system that we participate and believe in. ^ The Brothers of Iota Alpha Omega see the pij® of this cartoon as a slander toward ourselves and tb system. We exist to help the students of this college life-long relationships with our Lord, the C® ourselves. Free speech is a constitutioniil right, bU damages other people it is unexcusable.
