The arbitrary belief that older Drofessors somehow at a certain age become incapable of teaching and therefore are not valuable to the university is both disheartening and unsupported by fact.

She couches her argument in terms of the "right" or "freedom" of abortion, and laments the control of women's bodies by the state. There is evident here a misunderstanding of the nature of freedom and the duty of the state. There are two aspects of freedom. The more often mentioned is the right to enjoy that which has been earned. But the necessary corollary is the requirement to endure that which is deserved; in other words, % ?

This is a personal, unsolicited appeal by myself for revision of these convenient, but un discriminating, reuremeni pruvisiuns, but it is grounded in the belief that this university should learn to conserve more than simply its economic assets and that the entire retirement apparatus, rigid and inflexible as it is, ought to be reappraised.

The Bible continually speaks of God's love. Jesus Himself stated that He came to give us life to its fullest. Why then don't most people experience life to the fullest? It is because man has a problem with something called sin which separates us from God. Every person has sinned and fallen shor* of God's holiness. Sin is basically an attitude ot active reoemon or passive indifference to God which separates us from 0>ri God has made a provision for man's sin through Jesus Christ Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.

Any person who realizes that their disobedience to God has separated them from Him can begin a relationship with Him by receiving Christ as Savior and Lord.
