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.

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?

Simple minds
This is a very simple message
for the obviously very simple
minds at work here at the U of C)
campus. Regardless of your ig
norance. intolerance and
hatefid attitudes toward gays
and lesbians. IX) NOT rip down
or cover up our flyers.
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. This is. not to
imply that any-one group of in
dividuals is responsible ;fdr
these offenses just realize that
your reality' I*, nirt the only one
and the "right" one : .
i. .It is opt .your pjai e. to oppress

Music choices
In response to Robert Duffy's
complaints about'. 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,

" Stations^ sut:b* as KRXX and

KRVK1 are two such stations
that follow the format you pro
pose As for any other'classical
stations in the area, then; are
none.’ If your ideiCwas establish

Hut jess diversification for the
community..
Oh. and please do not think
that everyone that listens to
KWAX is over 35-years-bld. I
am riot even close to that age
yet.

Election letters
won't be printed
Due to the enormous number
of letters received in the past
week, we have many election
related letters on hand that
could not be run before the
election.
As always, we publish letters
in the order received, but we see
no purpose in publishing "vote
for me" or ballot measure opi
nion letters when the election is
over.
All letters of this genre will
not be run. Anyone who sub
mitted such a letter that did not
run is welcome to talk with us
regarding this policy.
