ing the ceremony, as well as other types
of conduct that could be hazardous or in¬
appropriate. I.would hope that any mea¬
sures developed to deal with the pro¬
blem would fall fnrRhort of "frisking."
I believe it is important to point out
that commencement is an academic
ceremony, conducted by the president
and faculty of the university to acknow¬
ledge the completion and mastery of a
certain body of knowledge by the stu¬
dents assembled. It is a joyous event to
be sure but it is also a serious one
honoring scholarly achievement. Many
aspects of the program are steeped in
centuries-old tradition and pomp.
I believe most graduates truly ap¬
preciate this recognition and do not
want the misguided antics of a few to
detract from the occasion. Most would
agree that there is ample opportunity for
"more informal" celebration at other
points in the day (weekend).
Thus I have every confidence that the
graduates in May will support and co¬
operate in' the effort to make their
commencement a mere meaningful and
memorable one.

DearEditor,
yet they write so poorly that university
students can't find their thesis statement.
Even sadder is the fact that Tim "King
of the one-sentence paragraph" Hur-
rianko, the paid editor of the Collegian,
would allow such a poorly written
article to be printed. It is clear changes
are needed at the Collegian office. Now

Unholy attacks
DearEditor,
Recently on the "opinion" page we
were subjected, once again, to one of
those cute commentaries that makes
light of God. Kyle Nicholas, Bill Pierce
and others, seem determined to set us
straight about who's a hypocrite and
who's not. The only problem is that the
subjects of their scrutiny all seem to fall
into the conservative camp. Of note are
Ronald Reagan and Pat Robertson. Both
of these men, who profess a faith in
Christ, are openly influenced by this
faith when it comes to certain moral and
legal issues — such as abortion and pray¬
er and school. They, in turn, are branded opportunity to teach English to Chinese
hypocrites for various reasons. students. The program begins on Feb.

After reading Alexander Lim's article
(10-27-87) on the new name for Sage

No where in the article could I find the
new name. I was annoyed at this and
asked several friends to read the article
and see if they could find the new name.
They could not. The sixth person I asked

l>ar Editor,
I have, recently applied for what I
think is a tremendous program that is
being offered to students here at CSUF
only every couple of ^ears. The pro¬
gram, known as China -Semester, in¬
volves students attending Hangzhou
University in Hangzhou, China. The
students will be traveling around China
for two weeks and/may be given the
sincere. But is his walk so spotless, so
pure, that you find no discrepancies? Or
take Sen. Kennedy. Although a profes¬
sing Catholic, his stand on abortion is
definitely not that of the Catholic
Church. Where are your shouts of "hy¬
pocrite"?
It seems apparent to me that you have
no interest in the truths of Christianity
and who's following them — but only in
promoting those public figures who
share your own particular beliefs — be¬
liefs that may or may not have anything
to do with Christianity. In a quite unholy
fashion, you not only attack, rather one-
sidedly, public figures, but you also
also provide 200 Chinese dollars per
month which'is a substantial amount to
live on in China. ,
Unfortunately, only five people have
signed up for this program. The pro¬
gram could be cancelled unless at least
eight people are accepted! It seems to me
that if people were made aware of this
