Letters to the Editor IConlinttfd from (’itfif A) because use of such weapons would result in great genetic damage, present a petition to government officials. They are railed before a congressional committee and cross examined about possible subversive affili atoms and ideology. This, how ever. has no connection with the validity of their argument. The committee should have been investigating bow much truth there is in their argument, not whether they have connections w 11 h politically unpopular groups. I agree with Mr. Ackerman that a student should he in formed about the nature of a protest Ix-fore he joins it His concern, however, should be not about who is portesting hut about how valid and important their stand is. Thus, the fact that Communist join in an anti foreign policy demonstration does not make the purpose of the demonstration automatically evil. I understand that Mr Acker man is not talking specifically about protests concerning Viet Nam 1 used this type of pro test a* an example In-cause I am personally concerned with it, and because Viet Nam has been the issue of many recent demonstrations I could have used another issue as easily. For example, if an anti t inted Nations rally is held on cam pus it is not enough to prove that the John Uirch Society sponsored it. The issue Is the value of the t nited Nations and to attack the rally because one disapproves of the John Birch Society is to fail to face the issue Mr. Ackerman seems to be lieve that protests are ail right as long as they are what he re gards as respectable. Once, however, he discovers that some group which he believes is "not honestly striving to maintain our principles of freedom1' is involved, the protest becomes bad In judging the validity of a protest, I am concerned with what is Ireing said, not whether those who say it In-long to "ar ceptable" political organizations and have middle of the road ideologies, Instead of being concerned with whether or not protestors are extremists or respectable, Mr Ackerman would do well to be concerned with what the pro testers are saying David II. Jarksou Graduate. I’ol. Sci. Plea for Apathy Emerald Editor: You and countless of your predecessors have exhorted the apathetic masses to come out of their catatonia and partici pate. Since I am a member of that apathetic mass I have be stirred myself enough to write this letter in our defense. We see no reason to vote in student elections, join VISTA, ban the bomb, or boo the beat niks. We consider this the best of ail possible worlds and can see no reason to change it. When we receive our MA or MRS. degree we will stride forth into an accepting world which will give us all that we ask. While we are here at the University we see no reason to expend energy on trivial causes such as convincing LBJ to with draw our troops from Viet Nam or raising money for a little used football stadium. If these things are good; if Uod wills, then they will be done. We need take no part. All our needs are or will be met; so why should we worry if a few million Indians are starving or if some southern slum-bred hoy will never go to college? As we now see it, we are on cloud eight and headed for cloud nine. So quit trying to seed us with problems, worries and doubts. You worry about run ning the world and let us rest content. Hubert I). Mumby Senior, Sociology Sigma Chi Emerald Editor: I in; Emerald's most recent artidc concerning the Sigma t hi Fraternity wax, to a large extent, a fallacious account of many aspects of the Fraternity The article, entitled "Many Sigma t 'hi Chapters in Trouble ” appeared in the Thursday, Feb ruary 24 edition and was writ ten by Bob Carl. The article begins by stating, Sigma Chi . has a long his tory of racial and religious dis crimination.” Sigma Chi has never had a written stipulation eoncermng religion, nor has any tradition existed in this century which dealt with religious dis crimination Sigma Chi current ly has members of varying reli gious faiths, including Jewish and Moslem. The Oregon chap ter of Sigma Chi has had sev eral members of the Jewish faith in recent years. This does not modify, however, the fact that the ideals of the Sigma Chi I raternity are based upon Chris tian principles. The racial clause in the Sigma < hi Constitution was removed in June, Iftfll t not "in the sum mer of lftt>2 ') at a national con vention Currently, the consti tution contains no written clause regarding discrimination, and the fraternity’s pledge forms do not include any inriuiries concerning racial information Sigma Chi's membership pres ently includes Orientals and American Indians. Carl's article implies throughout the Sigma C h i practices discrimination constantly against non-whites. The Sigma Chi Fraternity was not founded in the South, as stated in the article, but at Miami University in Ohio. The Stanford chapter of Sig ma Chi for many years been considered a poor chapter by tiie fraternity, as the chapter has failed to uphold many ritu alistic standards and general laws of the fraternity, lor this reason, many individuals in the fraternity ha\e felt for several years that the Stanford chapter should he expelled from Sigma Chi. Regarding the expulsion of Sigma Chi chapters at Brown and Colorado universities, in neither case was the particular Sigma Chi chapter accused of racial or religious discrimina tion In both these cases, the Chapters were forced by their respective universities to sever national ties with Sigma Chi because of alleged discrimina tion by tin- fraternity as a whole concerning the Stanford inci dent To accuse Sigma Chi of racial or religious discrimination is wrong. As individuals, the mem bers of the fraternity discrimi nate against prospective mem bers m many different ways, but it is erroneous to claim that the fraternity as a whole is pre conceived in the judgment of any individual.
