Letters Amused as hell What is the problem with this school? 1 road with amusement Shu Shitty Chen's letter about the SPA ("Not amused." ODE, April, 23). but something about it bothered me. I think it was the headline. Not amused? Isn't this about the fiftieth time we've seen "Not amused" in the pages of the Emerald? I mean, what's the mutter, isn't anybody amused around hem anymore? Take Lynn Pinckney- She rampages against the Emerald. ; -the Commentator, men in the • escort service, a few shares of IBM stock; the athletic- depart- • mept and some poor Chinese restaurant "thaH ,inadvertently/ . placed'.an amusing; if off-color i ad,. • ‘V*..

And yet she acts as if she is doing something that matters. Not: amused? frankly. I’m amused as hell. . loshua Tan/.er Student Hysterical In response to the letters "Greek lifestyles" and "Eti quette quiz." I d hardly con sider name calling lo be any more "cool" (oh no) than harassment. Shame, shame, however, on the "Creekies" whose "harass ment" dubbed you a "narrow minded SOB." In one way or another we all are, alas for human nature. Isn't it funny how we are all so perfect that we can point out each other's vices? When I nmd your first letter I laughed looking forward to the heated rebuttals and responses. "Etiquette quiz" was a beauty! Thank you Blake for your enter tainment I laughed hysterical ly! Have you ever considered journalism? Beth (iaiser "Greekie" Simple minds This is a very simple message for the obviously very simple minds at work here at the U of C) campus.

It appears that the mere sug gestion of a reality existing that is not your own offends and threatens you. I hate to explode your illusions, but white, heterosexual, able-bodied rich kids are not the only ones to ex ist on this canipus.

KWAX's pro gramming: As a student at the .University ybu support many things that may lie of no-use. to you.. The museum, the library (unless there is an important paper due) and the Athletic Department. As to whether or not KWAX’s programming is conservative, maybe you should decide what conservatism is. To me, so meone is conservative when they an; afraid to stup out of their usual cultural landscape and experience something which is new to them I'm sure that if you listened with any sort of awareness, you could find within KWAX's pro gramming musical ideas that would satisfy your most outlan dish fantasies, music rich with rythms and harmonies that are far less conservative than the straight ahead dance beats and simplistic harmonic structures that make up most of the music you mentioned in your letter. Thu radio dial in Kugene has a number of very fine stations with a wide variety of listening choices. Between KRVM, KLCC and KRXX you will find the best of the music you mentioned; the addition of KWAX'S programm ing only serves to round out your choices, Nathan Waddell Eugene Di versification I would like ■ to respond to Robert.
