Priest criticizes arms costs
By Mark Siebert
Staff writer
The next 14 years will be critical to church-state relations in the United States, partially because of an increase in nuclear arms, said the Rev. Robert Drinan, a Georgetown University professor of law.
"It seems as though we in for some revolution in our current church-state relations," Drinan said last night at the Kansas Union.
Drinah, wearing a black coat and a priest's collar, spoke from his many professional experiences. He is an ordained Jesuit priest, a former U.S. representative for Massachusetts, a member of the bar and the author of five books.
Nearly 100 people showed up in Alderson Auditorium to hear him speak at this year's Kansas School of Religion lecture, titled "Church-State Problems Which May Emerge Before the Year 2000."
"Here you have a wholly new situation in American politics where 50 million Catholics and 80 million Protestants are saying at the highest level. 'We are opposed to the fundamental foreign policy of our country, not merely of this administration but of everyone who, since Eisenhower, has relied on the use of nuclear weapons,' he said.
Diran said people should speak out against the U.S. government for spending millions on nuclear
weapons and other defense initiatives, while letting third-world countries starve.
"I am ashamed that our country has 30,000 nuclear weapons," Drinan said. "And I'm not particularly proud of what happened in Libya yesterday."
However, religious groups sometimes go too far in their involvement in politics when they try to have control on people's thinking, Drinan said.
the religious right, including groups such as Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority, goes too far by endorsing candidates and encouraging people to vote for or against candidates because of their stands.
Street widening nudges out store
By a Kansan reporter
City commissioners last night cleared the way for Rusty's Food Center, 23rd and Louisiana streets, to rebuild farther back on its lot, giving room for an extra lane of traffic on 23rd Street.
The commission approved the rezoning of the site from single-family residential to limited commercial.
Construction of a new store, which will be more than three times the size of the present one, is expected to create a new business for regional real estate director with
Fleming Co., which will build the store.
The present store will remain in business until the new or is built,
As part of Lewis' request for rezoning, he agreed to dedicate an additional right of way to enlarge the intersection, city officials said.
Tapp said that about 480 feet of cloth would be closed for the development.
Commissioner Ernest Angio said the case was a textbook example of cooperation between the private and public sectors.
Mayor Sandra Praeger said. "He
deserves the good wishes of the neighborhood."
In other action, the commission approved on first reading an ordinance that restricts the ownership of vicious dogs.
The ordinance defines a vicious dog as one that the owner knows has been trained to attack.
Ownership of dogs that attempt to or attack a person is prohibited, accrued costs will be charged.
It also requires $50,000 in liability insurance for owners of vicious dogs.
The Lawrence ordinance is the same as a recently enacted Douglas County ordinance.
Stippers, paper cutters, hole punches, tape, white out, glue stick, paper clips and a large well organized workspace are yours for the askin. And conies are a steel, too.
