MODERN day dating patterns have changed from generations past, accord- ing to the Center for Christian Studies' "Wandering Towards the Alter" forum on dating and courtship. The seven week forum, ending next Wednesday, was based on a Mars Hill Audio Series hosted by Ken Myers. This discussion affects students directly, because this generation has a tendency to marry later based on statistical evidence than its two predecessors. Contrary to Myers' opinion, delayed marriage, with better family planning, is not a bad trend.

OUR NATION'S comatose China policy is beginning to lag in strong leadership as President Bush bends over backward with his apology to China. As every day went by during the standoff, the United States lost face among its allies for not standing up for servicemen held against their will in a foreign communist nation with direct and immediate action. This comes early in the Bush administration, as the world is looking to see what kind of leadership he might offer. If the past few weeks are any indication of the future, then we may be in for a rough ride.

VIRGINIA legislators have once again responded to a legitimate social problem with imprudence and ignorance. As of July 1, the driving laws have been amended so that you must be 15 and 6 months old to obtain a learner's permit and must have had the learner's permit for nine months before you can obtain a drivers license. Another more relevant amendment that did not get as much press is a stipulation that drivers under the age of 20 convicted of a moving, seatbelt or child seat violation must attend a driver improvement course. These new restrictions on young people are not only ineffective, but also discriminatory in nature.

AN EVENT such as the Gala for Music Suppressed by the Third Reich is an activity essential to enriching student life. At such an event, a student can learn the values upon which a fulfilling life is founded. When we are forced to contemplate the suffering of others, and how life abounded in concentration camps despite hardship and censorship, we see that we are happiest when we focus outside of our own wants and needs. It is not that selflessness is not a value in our society, but in everyday life it unfortunately must compete for our time with our other goals and desires. Students can find joy in their lives by de-emphasizing their own pursuit of material wealth and applying lessons learned from the Gala.
