WANTED: Some respect. For the past few Monday evenings
anyone who might have been wandering across the campus probably saw
a group of students attired in blue uniforms standing at attention
and observing the flag being lowered. To anyone who doesn’t under
stand what this action is here is an explanation: This group of
people were participating in a retreat ceremony. At this ceremony
the flag is lowered and taken off. This is a matter in which the
utmost respect is required and expected, but around the Center
there appears to be an obvious deficiency in paying respect, and
when the retreat ceremony is in progress many people have chosen to
ignor the meaning of this action.
Certainly not everyone is involved in this attitude of ignorii
respect, but there are some who are and it is to those people that
this editorial is aimed. The function of a retreat ceremony is to
pay allegiance to the flag at the end of the day and regardless of
whether a person is wearing a uniform or not, all people should shi
their allegiance also. This does not require a very difficult or
painful action, but certainly a person can devote a few minutes ti)
to show his respect for his country.
Not only is this respect necessary at a retreat, but also
during the week at every evenings lowering of the flag there shoul<
be at least a modicum of respect paid. This respect need not be
