Letter: Fraternity offers apology to students Published: Thursday, April 14, 2005

To the Editor:

This is for all students who have been hassled by members of the Church of Scientology.

We, the active members of Tau Kappa Epsilon, have realized, due to the article printed in The News Record on Wednesday, "Church claims to answer life issues," that our fraternity has been sponsoring an organization that has managed to irritate the entire campus with their slogan of "free stress tests."

This was brought to our attention and we have since revoked our sponsorship of this organization, which should be kicked off of campus by the end of the week

Please accept our apologies.

Sincerely,

Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity

quote:

"Geoff Bullock, vice president of Tau Kappa Epsilon, said a former fraternity president, Kurt Hensley, originally sponsored Scientology in return for a portion of their campus book sales. Bullock said that Hensley is still listed as the sponsoring fraternity member.

"They come to a meeting once a year and hand out books," said Bullock. "Then they say 'Can you continue to sponsor us?'"

Bullock said that he thought Scientology was a weight loss or stress relief organization."
