RE: OP article by Kevin Sallows, vol-
ume 19, issue 15, page 6.

Aineen/Greetings!

I am writing to express my grati-
tude and appreciation to the Other Press,
the Other Press “Staff” and Kevin
Sallows. I am hoping that the spirit of
this letter reaches you in the manner that
it is extended; respect and coexistence.

Your response to my concern of
being excluded as part of Douglas
College Student Services in your last
issue is to be commended. Besides
being excellent role models, you have
also shown a high degree of
responsibilty and respect in this matter.

For this I say:

CHI-MEEGWETCH/A_ BIG
THANK YOU!

In closing i would also like to state
that this latest issue (V.19, I.15) was
one of the best I've seen from the OP
ina long time. Please continue with this
caliber of writing, stories, and good
work. This makes the Other Press look
less and less like the “Enquirer”
magazine and more and more like a
respectable newspaper. This change is
noticeable and much appreciated.
Meegwetch/Thank you on that one too!

My mind to yours, My heart to
yours,

A slap in the face?

Dear Other Press:

This letter is in reference to the
Other Press and its failure to invite the
students of Douglas College to their
Annual General Meeting held June 14,
1995. According to the newspaper’s
constitution an Annual General Meeting
can only take place after a thirty day
published notice. These guidelines were
ignored since the public was made
aware of the meeting only after it had
taken place. The importance of the
Annual General Meeting must not be
overlooked. It is a forum where the stu-
dents are given the opportunity to voice
their concerns towards the actions of the
Other Press. Being a newspaper which
receives funding from our tuition, it is
your duty to inform and represent the
students of Douglas College. Because
of this I urge you to follow the consti-
tution’s guidelines in the future.

Respectfully,

Michelle L. Janzen

Dear Other Press:

Hi,

The topic of creation vs. evolution
has come up again in relation to what is
being taught in our schools. As on
previous occasions, all kinds of
fundamentalism comes to the fore.

If God exists it might make a great
deal of difference what we teach on the
subject of the earth’s origin. If truth is
relative, and God does not exist, what
difference does it make what we say on

the subject?

The secular fundamentalists, who
are relativists when it comes to morality,
suddenly become extreme absolutists
when it comes to evolution. Why should
science, which is really of lesser
importance than morality, escape the
ravages of relativism?

As those who look beyond the trite
coverage in the media clearly recognize,
evolution has not been scientifically
proved. It is a myth evolved by secular
fundamentalists in the hope that they
could avoid thinking about God. Only if
the subject of creation is removed to the
relativism of comparative religions do
they feel safe.

Like all fundamentalists, secular
fundamentalists want only their views
expressed. They believe in democracy
only when it suits them.

We ask ourselves why nations which
are subject to the tyranny of various kinds
of fundamentalisms do not rid themselves
of this element in their midst. After all,
the fundamentalists are usually in the
minority. Our own inability to throw the
yoke of secular fundamentalism off our
shoulders probably answers that
question. They remain the controlling
factor in our lives and they want to be
the controlling factor in our thinking as
as well.

God Bless!
