There is a war going in our nation, declared Martin E. Marty, historian of American religion and culture at the University of Chicago, in his Monday night Honors lecture
In his address entitled “The Infidel in Our Midst: The War Against Secular Humanism,” Marty presented an existing values crisis between the religious and secular culture in the U.S.
“I’m bidding you to take this subject seriously. What I noticed is that about every 40 to 50 years or so, there is another round of this controversy and each time it comes at a very decisive moment in the culture,” said Marty.
Marty explained that the Founding Fathers, the Absolutionists, the Modern Critical University and the
Modernist*-, w«re all at war with
the orthodox churches of their time.
Similiarly, he suggested that the Secular Humanists are in conflict with the major religious cultures, predominantly Protestant Fundamentalists.
“In the last couple of centuries,*’ said Marty, “enlightened members of the religious culture scrambled to become relevant to the secular culture which they felt was winning."
The Secular Humanists, Marty suggests, are experiencing a time of uncertainty as is the American society as a whole.
“The science and technology which we need to help us are also

what will help destroy us. The politics which had given us our rights have turned into political patterns in which people, seeking their mutual exclusive rights, allow very little room for the common good. And the intellectuals themselves- are waivering in their faith in the project of reason,” said Marty.
Marty asks that we:
—	Recognize the crises of the culture in order to put out energies into thought and action.
—	Learn to be self-critical.
—	Lower our voices and let people speak on what they're about.
—	Try to learn from each other
—	Render the conflict more creative than it's been.
"We can see in alliances of the 20th century, including Nazism, the Catholics and Protestants on the one hand, and university secularists on the other, very often both lacked the resources to produce any resistance to the regime,” said Marty. “It isn’t that there is a God versus Satan, Christ versus Anti-Christ. Good versus Bad, but that both camps have a good deal of self-revising to do."
Student finds more than fish in sandwich while having lunch in Hurricane cafeteria

For the same price, one student was able to buy a regular meal with an added surprise — a saw blade in his fish squares.
Calvin Finlay was having lunch with some friends last Friday afternoon at the Hurricane Cafeteria when he felt a hard object as he “bit down” on the fish squares he had ordered.
At first he disregarded it, thinking it was probably just “fried hard." So he bit down even harder the second time and found a saw blade about two inches long.
“I could not believe it," said Finlay. 'Tve heard of swordfish, but not of a sword in a fish."
Finlay, a para-legal student at
UM, was not injured. The saw blade did not go into his mouth, but rather just touched his teeth.
Finlay immediately took the fish squares to the manager of the cafeteria so they could report it to the manufacturer.
Finlay was "surprised with all the attention" he was receiving. He said that everyone was just as surprised as he was to see the saw blade in the fish squares.
“It was a freaky accident which can happen anywhere — even in the finer restaurants," commented Finlay.
Did Finlay get his money back?
No. Not Finlay. Instead, he reordered (you guessed it) — the fish squares.
According to Jackie Parker, food service director of the Student Union Cafeteria, the product has been "pulled off from the service
area” until the manufacturer (Icelandic) gives a justifiable explanation as to why the blade went undetected by a magnetic tunnel device.
Parker says that large manufacturers like Icelandic use this type of device to detect anything, especially something like a saw blade. Apparently, it didn't this time.
"The fish comes pre-packaged from Continental Foods — the distributor of the product — and the operators’ responsibility is just to deep fry it and serve it," said Shawn Sharp, catering manager of SAGA
According to Parker, Continental Foods is only the distributor of the product. There is no connection between them and the incident.
He says when an infrequent situation like this arises, it is their policy to contact SAGA’s purchasing department so they can contact Icelandic. the manufacturer..
Parker says the whole situation is "embarrassing and unfortunate." Furthermore, they have asked for Icelandic to send a letter of explanation and apology to Finlay.
Parker clearly denied the possibility of any of the cafeteria employees to be responsible for the incident. He said the band saw was an electric-type saw that cuts meat into portions.
“We at SAGA do not do this precise cutting,"he added. “I have access to the actual piece and it came directly from a band saw.”
Furthermore, Parker says that every product SAGA receives is pre-cut, pre-frozen and packaged Everything comes in a "frozen state.”
Icelandic could not been reached for comments. Neither Continental foods nor Parker knew how they could be reached.

In a day set apart to honor outstanding achievers within the university community, convocation speaker Martin. E. Marty reminded his audience that everyone lives in and forms part of a “dishonoring world."
His lecture entitled “Fitting Misfit Honors Into a Dishonoring World" concluded thajt the world dishonors by honoring the wrong things, recognizing achievement at its wrong stage of development, not remembering its achievers, honoring privately without ritual, using elitists as its source of criticism.
and honoring briefly.
Marty remarked that all of these are “all right” and concluded with these words:
“We should not be as concerned about social schemes of a career as we are about vocation. I’d like to think that the very diversity of the honors in your case will be a contribution not merely to career, which the world knows how to honor, to pay, and to recognize, but to vocation, the living of the whole, complete and individual life."
Aside from the awards given to outstanding students, the Undergraduate Student Body Government also handed out the Professor of the Year awards.
The following professors re-
ceived awards:
From Arts and Sciences: Eugene Clasby, English: James Clegg, biology; and Abraham Lavender, sociology
From School of Business: Manfred Ledford, finance; and Janisse Klotchman, business law.
Other professors awarded were Tayeb Guima from the School of Engineering and Architecture; Virginia Kreisworth from the School of Education; Donna Pfeifer from the School of Nursing; and Raymond Barr from the School of Music.
Music was provided by the University Symphony Orchestra, UM Brass Quintet, and the University Trombone Choir.
