VIEWPOINTS
STUDENT OPINION—REVIEWS—LETTERS
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
October 1. 1962
Editor of the Cluster:
CHEMISTRY, CHRISTIANITY, COURTE
SY, CONSIDERATION—four unrelated words?
No, not for ladies and gentlemen; not for members
of the Mercer "family”. People, and especially
students at Mercer, need all four.
Mercer University has regular courses in Chris
tianity and chemistry, and there are indications
that something is needed to develop consideration
and courtesy in dealings with each other. Consider
only two points: (1) Careless parking of cars
and (2) Breaking into cafeteria lines.
There are not enough parking places for every
one who needs to park on the campus. Yet some
people don't take the extra second required to
park between the lines of a parking space. Cour
tesy; consideration—No! It wouldn't be surpris
ing to see a Volkswagen taking up three parking
places.
Also consider the serious matter of breaking in
to cafeteria lines. Your "blood boils" when people
continue to be served food and you stand back
near the end of a long disorganized line, for min
utes without moving. Little side lines have moved
into the main line, while other souls joined
friends in the line near the serving counter. Con
sideration. courtesy no, no, NO! ! !
Students may learn chemistry and Christianity,
but until they show courtesy and consideration in
their relations with others, they have much more
to learn.
Yours truly,
F. W. James
