The Torrerq's only game points came from the conversion of a penalty free kick for a half-time score of 12-3. The Gauch came back for the second half with the wmd at their backs. The steady gale carried one kick deep up the middle and K.C. McMahon followed it up on the run and deposited the ball dead center 16 minutes into the second half. Krohn scored the next one at 24 minutes, and this time Smith's kick was good, McMahon followed up with the last two Gaucho tries

/½bµrch-state battle puts U.S. Constitution on trial By STEVE COOPER Sun Religion Writer Religi~n an~ ~overnment have long had an un- easy relat1onsh1p m the United States. Whitehead is an author and outspoken defender of religious expression in public life. The institute handles about 20 cases at a time involving church- state issues.

• The government may not endorse or appear to endorse a religious point of view. • The government may acknowledge the faith of the people. "For example 1 the New York Metropolitan Mu- seuI? ~ay -. a~ 1t does - hang many pieces of art dep1ctmg religious scenes. But it must not select those paintings on the basis of their religious value. They must be chosen on the basis of their artistic value," Alexander said. . The principle is easier to state than to practice, he said. There are countless variations to confuse a fairly straightforward idea. "The classic is the question of children singing Christmas carols in public schools. It has been ar- gued t~at those songs are such a traditional part of the hohday that they have a secular importance. But they also have a clearly religious theme. How can you separate the two?" Alexander said. Challenges over such issues have long come from the A~Ll!. In recent _yea~s, le"lal groups representing the fhp-s1de of const1~ut10nal mterpretation have ap- peared to do battle with the civil libertarians. One is t~e Rutherford Institute in ' Manassas, Va., estab- lished by attorney John Whitehead.

Vietnam and other countries know what it's like to be the target of the government because they aren't members of the right religion. They know what hap- pens when the government favors one religion above the other," she said. She agrees with those who interpret the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to mean govern- ~ent must not express a preference for any religion many way. '.'Whe1_1 thE: ~overnment does that, they are subtly tE:llmg mmont1es that they have a second-class reli- g10n. That's why I find the idea of this being a so- called Christian nation so disturbing. What does that do to that minority - and it's a large and growing one - who hol-:1 to other beliefs?" Sobel said. There are areas where accommodation for reli- gion is acceptable, she said. For instance she agreed that a_ painting of the "Last Supper" in public mu- seum 1s not an entanglement. "But if San Bernardino County were to hang the 'Last Supper' in one of its buildings where it was the only painting and it was put up as a way to send a me_ssage - let's say they put it up the day after losmg over the Desert Christ Park issue - then that would be a violation. So, you need to know the cir- cumstances," she said. / /

"The Supreme Court has been wrestling with church and state from time out of mind," said Larry Alexander, a professor of constitutional Jaw at the University of San Diego. Debates and opinions from the lofty chambers of ~ederal courts directly influence what is happening m current controversies in Yucca Valley and Red- lands. . In the desert, the question is: Should the county own a park where 40 statues of Christ are on display? In Redlands, the question is: Should the city have a cross as one of the symbols on its official seal? !n both instances, the American Civil Liberties Umon has threatened legal action to force divesti- ture of the park and the removal of the cross. They see entanglement of church and state and they want these situations untangled. ' . Alexander believes such questions will Jong be ~1th u~J:, part of a natural tension between compet- mg co 1 epts. These are:

"The main problem, as I see it is the systematic remov~l of religious symbols fro~ the public place. It's as if one form of speech is invalid - religious speech. It's a form of repression," he said. Targeted are not just evangelical Christians but every religious group that wants public ack~owl- edgement of their holidays and ceremonies, he said. "What this will lead to is a bare-bones secularist society that will drive religion out. If w~ don't re- v~rse the trend, we'll see discrimination against reli- g_1ous people - who are the majority. The Constitu- tion "".as c_ertainly_ intended to protect the rights of the mmonty, but 1t was never intended that society become a tyranny of that minority," Whitehead said. Carol Sobel, an ~CLU attorney in Los Angeles, said t~e r~al danger IS that the majority will tyranize the mmonty. "Talk to immigrants about religious freedom and they'll give a good idea about why church and state must remain separate. People from Lebanon and
