Final judge
Dear Editor,
The free will of men, especially in high places, can either have a salutary effect on humanity or wreak havoc and chaos on our species. When administrators such as Milliken, Mauer and Perlman give feeble arguments that they could, and already might have lost "great" scientists for the UNL science department, and by also putting pressure on their regents, especially the likes of a weak-kneed Jim McClurg, who vacillated all week long, knowing all the time that he would vote to please the "big boys," (despite his education in the field of biology).
We live in a universe that can easily be divided into "theocentric" (God-centered) and "anthropocentric" (man-centered), and from the vote made last week and the comments of the administrators in the "Journal Star," we can categorically say that the UNL administrators, Milliken, Mauer and Perlman, believe in an anthropocentric universe based on their speech, which indicates their motives, as well as regents McClurg, Schroeder, Hasselbrook and Whitehouse, all of whom avoid the use of the word "morality" in their speeches or defenses; instead, they are morally hoodwinked by UNL's science department's use of the "euphemistic" term "harvesting" instead of "destruction or murder" of human life, all in the name of bringing fame and prestige to the UNL science department.
One of the Old Testament prophets said "we are nothing but a breath in the nostril." When my anthropocentric administrators and their regent co-conspirators at UNL inhale and exhale for the last time, I sure would like to be a fly on the wall in the final court of justice in order to hear their feeble defensive arguments which were printed in the "Journal Star" as their final judge points to His commandment, "Thou shalt not kill."
"Kudos" to regents Clare, Ferlic, Hawks and Phares. You are a credit to the ethical and theocentric element and philosophy of UNL.
Sincerely,
J.G. McHale
