The Office of Admissions and Records ' fffrtyv announces: more feedback Can’t follow conscience | To the Editor • fl A recent Tho Spectrum editorial recommended | that students maintain their own Individual * stances and follow their consciences. I agree £ with this advice, but find that It is not always £ possible to follow. There are instances when one H Is forced to unjustly sacrifice his/her moral I bqfiefs. The most obvious example at this 2 University Is the forced payment for abortion * coverage in the student health insurance plan. 5 Students morally opposed to abortion are given ® no reasonable option. Comparable Insurance coverage elsewhere costs at least twice as much as the student plan. Last Spring, an optional plan was proposed wherein students with conscientious objections to could “opt- out” of that pail of their Insurance coverage which payed for abortions. The Insurance company handling the policy Insured students that such an optional plan would not raise the cost of abortion coverage for those who wanted It. Also, a campus-wide survey of student opinion revealed that 80 percent of the students here favor an optional plan. Despite these facts, Sub Board decided to reject the optional plan. Furthermore, I was Informed by SA President Joel Mayersohn that students who favored an option would not be appointed to Sub Board. Obviously, he Is allowing his own personal views to obstruct the democratic process. I) Student Identification Cards: 1. Validation—students possessing a permanent I.D.
