"The Supreme Court has misapplied the First Amendment," he said. "The First Amendment is on- s ly opposed to setting up a state religion." "Education has been preserved by religion. Churches t established colleges," Hamilton said. ? He read a prayer that was ruled unconstitutional and said it J should be used as a model for voluntary school prayer. Sixty percent of the public favor voluntary prayer, ^ Law suit Continued from page 3 "What topped everything off was I had been studying for my midterms and when I went to take the test, I couldn t find a parking place," he said. Cockfield said ramps were often blocked by illegally parked cars. "Carolina is basically totally accessible, but if you can't .. get a parking place what good are the ramps?" he said.

Nyzio argued against the resolution, saying Hamilton supiorted official prayer, not voluntary prayer. "It would be a useless exercise," he said. "Prayer should be omething that conies frjm the heart. What Mr. Hamilton is >roposing is a watered-down prayer. Nyzio said the responsibility of teaching his children to pray hould fall on him, not the government. He countered the Gallup survey, saying, "If 60 percent of he people favored prayer, that must be good. One hundred ind fifty years ago, people favored slavery, and that must be jood, also." In his rebuttal, Hamilton said, "The prayer I read may be watered down. But you have to crawl before you can walk.

"Voluntary school prayer would be forcing people to accept fc. a supreme being," one man said. Another man, describing himself as a born-again Christian, said, "A little prayer is better than no prayer at all. God created us. We should worship him."
