These two facts don't add up nearly as neatly as your letter of April 7 would have us believe. If you check out the statistics on rape, you’ll find that women raping women is not the problem. Your point about whether or not the shuttle-van should bo available to both men and women could have been a valid contribution to the debate. In stead you turned it into an at tack on the gay community, refering to gays as "queers” and feeding the homophobic: fear that lesbians and gay men are forever on the prowl for sweet young things; (to paraphrase your words). You express a concern for the safety of “s.weet little girl(s)" and /''innocent women." casting heterosexual women in the role of passive victims Of lesbian lust; Your assertions that these '"innocents”, are in danger from lesbian women borders on the absurd — many of these women have worked tirelessly over the years to end the very crime that you accuse them of. .... As.women,, lesbians face the .fear and threat of rape the same as heterosexual women. The shuttle-van service is but one example of women actively • seeking solutions to protect, themselves from a violent crime. Don’t-thfow stones! . Pat Dixon Student Drug abuse We have a significant pro blem with drugs in,our homes, schools, city and workplaces.’ Our community is beset with legalized drug, dealers on almost every corner, in every r grocery store. A drug Is defined by Webster's Dictionary as: a substance used in dyeing or chemical operations. We blindly accept »hai the chemical producers have our best interests in mind as they produce wide assortments of chemicals for personal and in dustrial consumption. There are pesticides, cleaners, detergents, paints, dyes etc., which are made of a wide variety of drugs. Where do these chemicals end up when they are washed down our drains? Out of sight, out of mind? What are the effects.off-all these compounds combined, in our environment?

This gives our judicial system, and all they employ, continued support. The Greek system also benefits our university. I They haze their pledges' This has three benefits.

The sentence, referring to Vice Chancellor W.T. Fern man. should have read: "I think of the Fmerald (someday) throwing the spotlight on this guy. and of the student body visiting his office and tell ing him what we think of him."
