A GOOD AND FAIR DECISION We applaud the John Glenn School Corporation Board of Trustees for their decision Tuesday night in the Greene Township transfer situation. The decision by the Board to accept these students who so desire to come to the John Glenn Schools for the 1987-88 school year, is in no way a permanent answer to the problem. However, this is that first big step. The John Glenn Board has approached this matter very carefully, certainly more professionally than has the South Bend Community School Corporation Board of Trustees, who in the past two years has been nothing but inconsistent in this matter. The resolution they passed on March 16, 1987, was more of an escape from facing this problem on a permanent basis than it was a solution. We feel allowing the students of Greene to come this year will answer a lot of questions. We also strongly support article 6 of the Glenn resolution that states they expect the South Bend Board to honor the direction of the State Board of Education and its own decision of January, 1987, to negotiate an equitable settlement to the Greene Township issue. This is the first big step, now the steps that must be taken are a permanent solution, one that will not have the students’ future hinge each and every year on the whims of the South Bend Board and one that will guarantee these residents of Greene Township some peace of mind in this very important matter, that being the future of their children. fS^emember'^ ; AjC WHEN—

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE ‘Education Costly Witboat Monds’ I’d like to thank Governor On and others for being committed to improve public education. Although may 1 ask, how can we improve education much with additional days, etc., while there is such a lack of morals and values in public schools, and in many students’ homes? The lack of morals and values in education implies that there is no God, no right or wrong. It encourages students to do their own thing, and to live here and now. This discourages obedience, respect, honesty, incentive and hard work. The lack of morals and values in the home, including television, leads to turmoil, broken homes, a poor home environment for students. This causes emotional disturbances, poor attitudes, poor concentration and a lack of desire to learn, in many students. Please remember, we have little problems with students from traditional families. Most public schools teach or

addition to tools from Master Mechanic of Cotter & Company, while the driver with the fastest single qualifying lap earns SIO,OOO from Eckrich, the Official Franks of the 1987 Indy 500. This year’s entry list consists of six former pole position winners com peting again for those prizes: Rick Mears (1979. 82, 861, Pancho Carter (1985). Tom Sneva (1977, 78. 841.'

imply that there's no right or wrong morally. One way. simply by not encouraging or implying some morals and values. Many parents, and the television, teach or imply very little morals and values. Theodore Roosevelt pointed out, "To train a man in mind and not in morals, is to train a menace to society”. Don’t we have a national epidemic of teenage pregnancies, abortion killings, divorces, one parent families, drinking, drugs, pornogrpahy, homosexuality and AIDS? It appears we could have a national epidemic of cheating, stealing, murdering, suicide, rape, child abuse and molesting. We have paid a high price for expelling, for the most part, God, prayer, the Bible, traditional morals and values from public education and television, in order to do our own thing, or whatever. 1 believe we’ll find, we’ll be paying a much higher price in the future, if this trend continues, likely our freedom, also. — "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”.
