Absurd attack
Yes, rape is an act of violence,
Darrel Kothauge. and yes,
women are capable of violence.
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! .

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? One In three peo
ple in the United States' will'
have some form of cancer dur- ■
ing their lifetime! Why? '
We are a drug- addict society
If you don't feel well, take an
aspirin. Whatever the symptom,^

Greek lifestyle
Yes. it pays to be in the Greek
system. This university is so ,
fortunate to have the wonderful
.Greek system; For me the Greek

positive experience
They support the community

up their mess.
2. They join .others in court
battles. 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. First, it
allows the pledges to be
humiliated and feel subhuman
like the other Neanderthals that
art».already in the Greek system.
Second., it jiivas the an

Correction
The last sentence of
Koscoe Caron's letter
"Thanks. Bill" In Fri
day's Fmerald contained
an extra word in
advertently added by thn
Fmerald. 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."
