Prayer vigil (Continued from Page 1) The prayer vigil commenced as Chris Zorn, Mercer senior in the college of liberal arts, addressed the group. “We’re ail here in sympathy for the stu dents at Kent State. We have to think about violence. And you have to make decisions on what you stand on sooner or later.” Dean Trimble then address ed the group. “If sympathy is un-American, then. Lord knows what America has come to. When you use vio lence, you become like what you are trying to destroy. I don’t know if we have any sol utions for this problem. It’s remarkable that a Christian school provides so little voice Hospitality call* for Ookf things go mKm better™ with BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OR THE OOCA-OOLA OOMRANY BY in this matter. Being the Chris tian school that we are, how ever, there must be some way other than violence. “There must be a certain element of maturity in terms of the country and the so called immature students which can deal with opposition in some other manner than by destroying or incinerating It. “There has got to be found in this country a way that doesn’t take either of those alternatives (l.e., absolute acceptance of the war or abso lute rejection of it). The point is, the country is tacitly sup porting the war. “I approve of expressions of sympathy. I approve of black arm bands, but I strongly dis approve of what you’re pro testing against when the methods are violent and destroy human life.” Conclud ing, Dean Trimble said, “Chris tian faith hopefully offers an alternative.” After Trimble’s speech, at the suggestion of the mourning GOING <;thf G«i th« f«rl of sport cor driving without denting your budget, The Fiat Spider ho* authentic dertone body styling, fully »ynchromethed stick shift, doth tachometer, front wheel disc brakes, radial tirei, -and a fantastically economical price for a fully equipped true sport Spider.

At the close of the hour, a few minutes before noon, Dr. Otto, Ptofeesor of Christianity, offered a short prayer on be half of the assembled group. In part, he Mid, "We ask for comfort for our parents and wisdom for the young.” And in conclusion, “O Lord, every where we find violence and we ask only for peace.” At noon the group dispersed when students returned to class. A group opposing President Harris' action formed during the afternoon. This group was headed by Randall Sorenson. The group fait that Prwident Harris, in taking a stand on the honoring of the four Kent State students had put the uni versity on record as backing their political stand. They felt that this stand represented an attempt by Kent State students to destroy the American uni versity system and that Mercer should not have been a party to this. Mr. Sorenson said that the group was checking the legality of President Harris’ authority to lower the flag.
