From, "It doesnt matter whether
you win or lose, It's how you play the
Earns" to "Winning Isn't everything,
it's the only thing." WeVe heard the
football anthem football prepares
youns men for life, it displays all
American values, it makes money
(oops).
While such platitudes aren't en
tirely devoid of truth, they add to
the already too strong tendency to
blow football out of proportion a
tendency which leads young men
like Trevor Pavich to keep playing at
risk of death.
"I wouldn't quit football for any
thing," Pavich told the Journal-Star
columnist. "I love .the game."
So much that you're willing to die
for it, Mr. Pavich?
In the end, football is a contest
between two groups of men to see
which can put a ball in the other's
end zone the most times.
It's fun to play and fun to watch,
but is it anything to die for?

Cohabitation trends confuse immature Cliristians
Mature Christians will have ignored Adultery, in turn, is defined as inter-
Mona 'Kcppelman's article on cohabita- course with any other than one's own
tion (Page 1, Sept. 14) out of simple good spouse. St. Paul emphasizes the condem-
taste. I write for the immature Christians; nation by saying to the unmarried and
those less certain of right and wrong, for widowers: "It is good to bide as I am (sin-
whom Koppelman's citation of trends, gte). But if they cannot have self-control
percentages and categories is confusing let them marry. For it is better to marry
because it seems to validate cohabitation than to burn (in hell) (I Cor. 7:8)."

Leinfellner. teaches the "ethics of mar
riage" to classes that are at least partially,
if not primarily, Christian, that he includes
these Christian rules of conduct relative
to marriage the meaning of "ethic".
Cohabitation of the sort described by
Koppelman is condemnation to hell, for
Christians: "The wages of sin is death,"
unless one sincerely repents and conse
crates oneself to walk aright.
I am encouraged by the Macklin statis
tic: 50 percent of American college stu
dents would cohabit (there is no such
usage as "to cohabitate" in any diction
ary) if there was a strong, affectionate
and monogamous relationship. That
shows our campus instincts are at least
semi-Christian.
I would insist merely that Christians
hold out for marriage "rather than burn."
P.S. Thank you for the Jim Rogers arti
cle on President Reagan (DN, Sept 18). It
was a beacon of light in the dreary wilder
ness of your tiresome and amusing edi
torial barrage of leftist propaganda.
