(This week the Resoultion was passed. See below.) The two new advisors are Assistant to the Chancellor for Equity and Diversity, Chari one Westerhaus, and Chief of the University of Parkside Police, Robert Deane. Dean of Students, Stephen McLaughlin, is the current advi- sor and will also be next semester's advi- sor. A Resoultion is a suggestion made to the student body (all the senators) regarding anything that affects students on campus. PSGA introduces it at a meeting, discusses it at the next meeting, then votes to pass or fail at the second or third meeting. President Corey Mandley intro- duced the Resoultion this week. It said that UW-P doesn't have students on UW- P's Faculty Search and Screen Committees (A S &S Committee hires new professors, faculty, and administra- tion personnel), and we need two students admitted on all Faculty Search and Screen Committees, one of which would be a minority student. Other UW system schools allows students to be on their committees, and so should UW-P. It also said that PSGA will pick the students who will be on those Committees, [so the deci- sion is not left up to the faculty and staff, but to the students at UWPj. At this week's PSGA meeting, . the Resolution passed through PSGA. I asked Corey when this would go into effect. He said, "As soon as we get the Fauclty Search & Screen Committee to approve it." He said he would present it at the next S&S Committee meeting. The next S&S meeting is April 21 at 3,30 in MOLN 0137. All students are welcome to attend. When the S&S Committee approves it, it will be placed in the Wisconsin Parks ide Search and Screen Committee For Faculty, Staff, and Limited Appointment Handbook. Lastly, SUFAC is the committee that handles all segregated fees (fees we pay with our tuition). Three SUFAC members were voted in todayChris Leipski, Luis Benevioglio, and Elise Cochran. Commencement Public Service Announcement Diana L. Sharp The commencement ceremony for current graduates will be held on May 17, 1998 at 2pm in the Sports and Activity Center. Potential May and August graduates are currently being certi tied by the Student Records Office and those graduates will receive a mail- ing with information and instructions regarding the ceremony. Officials expect about 450 students will be eligi- ble for graduation. Because of the limit- ed capacity of the Sports and Activity Center, graduates are asked to limit the number of guests. Graduates who were eligible but unable to participate in the December, 1997 commencement may take part in the May, 1998 commence- ment ceremony. Caps and gowns for graduates will be available in the Campus Bookstore. A variety of sizes will be available so pre-ordering and fining are not typically required. Graduation announcements are also available in the Campus Bookstore. The deadline for • notifying the Chancellor's Office that a graduate plans to take part in the com- mencement exercises is April 24, 1998. For more information on eligi- bility for May graduation, students should contact the Student Records Office, 595-2284. For general informa- tion about commencement, students should contact the Chancellor's Office, 595-2368.

And because of my Biblical education, a number of things which he had maintained sounded suspicious at the very least. One comment he had made which I hold most suspect, is his challenge to the authority of the Apostle Paul and the inspi- ration of the Pauline Epistles. The minister had asserted that Paul added his own opin- ion on matters of homosexuality in the first chapter of Romans. The suggestion of Paul inserting his own opinion, I think, is a posi- tion highly dangerous for any Christian to maintain. The reason being, how can the Christian reasonably distinguish between which New Testament passage is inspired by God and which is inspired by man? Certainly it can be noted that each person differs in their aspects of discernment. The minister's reply to this was, "Let your con. science be the judge." Now to me, this is an odd position to maintain because I understand the philosophy of human con- science and it is a tricky matter. Firstly, a person's conscience may indicate what is right or what is wrong, but it does not follow that a person will abide by it. Secondly, a person' conscience is absolutely private, so there is no way to make certain whether and individual will reveal what their conscience truly indicates; and in an attempt to find this truth only leads back to the integrity of the person involved, which in this case, is already under scrutiny. Thirdly, the Heterosexual's conscience may tell him that homosexuality activity is wrong, whereas the homosexu- al's conscience may tell him that homosex- ual activity is right. If this is the case, then the conscience certainly seems to be condi- tioned by many factors. Such factors can be a person's cultural background, a per- son's upbringing, or even a person's moral training. In any case, the Christian who believes that an individual's conscience should judge the validity of certain scrip- tures, presupposes that people will have the integrity to conform to the laws of their conscience. Second, if the conscience is conditioned by the environment, then it would not serve as a tool to assess objec- tively what is right or what is wrong, but rather it would be a tool which may mis- lead the operator subjectively into self- deception. And most importantly to the Christian, it should be noted that a Christian's conscience is to be refined by the use of scripture, and not the scripture that is to be refmed by the use of a Christian's conscience. Ifnot taken seri- ously, this minister's view can grant indi- viduals unlimited power to extract from the scriptures what they wish, and to exclude scriptures which do not confirm to their preconceived notions. The notion that Paul inserted his personal opinion about homo- sexual relations is untenable for Christians. For if so, then one could easily maintain that Matthew inserted his own opinion on whether the Sermon on the Mount really occurred. Maybe Mark inserted his own opinions about particular parables given by Jesus. Perhaps John inserted his own opin- ion about Christ's divinity or even his res- urrection for that matter. Ultimately, to Bible believing Christians, this view conve- niently delimits God's authority in the New Testament and consequently detracts from the Christian's reliance upon God and His Word. Issues Aaron Rodriguez On Thursday, I attended a sympo- sium which discussed homosexuality and the conjoined prejudices which seems to be its natural consequence. On the stage, was an active panel of gay-rights advocates that expressed their opinions about several issues pertaining to the controversial Reggie White speech, various Biblical commandments, homosexual discrimina- tion, and the heterosexual's homophobia. The panel's opinions were interesting, but what attracted my curiosity was a man on the panel who professed to be a gay minis- ter. To my ears, the words, "gay minister" sounds, prima facie, like an oxymoron. But to the gay minister this was certainly not the case. As a matter of fact, he contended quite the contrasty that being a practicing homosexual and being a Christian are Biblically compatible. As a Christian, I fmd myself Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
