S.O. if membership op.en: THE IDEA OF RELIGION IS NO STRANGER to controversy, but the World Church of the Creator could be used as a mascot for what controversy is. The Rev. Matt Hale, an SIUC law student, has begun to promote this reli gion locally. What makes this different from some of the other local religions, however, is that it calls for the preservation and protection of the white race, and one of the main ideas is that there should be no mixing of races in nature. What is interesting about this is that Hale has expressed some thought about making this religion a legitimate student organization on-campus. ~ UmERS TO THE EDITOR I,______IT NEEDS TO BE STATED THAT THIS GROUP should not be penniucd to be a student organization ..
