UW Service requirement

[Steven Jamar]

Well, one might be a community service and the other not.  Providing a 
forum for and presentation of political discussion and viewpoints is 
not the same as doing that for a particular religion.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust 
doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for 
yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth 
corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where 
your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Matthew 6:19-21
