Pop classics
Robert Huffy’s letter (ODE.
April 24) regarding KWAX's
current all "classical" format
raises certain legitimate points
A college radio station should
lie responsive to the input of the
student body.
What he perhaps doesn't
realize is that KWAX is not a
"college" station in the same
sense as many stations at
private schools The hulk of its
financial support comes from
foundation grants and private
donations, and only minimally
from tuition dollars.
1 agree, though for different
reasons, that KWAX is too con
servative. Its representation of
"serious" music is extremely
lopsided, lacking severely in
the areas of 20th century and
very early music. Roughly 80
fierce nt of its programming
could he considered a sort of
"Top 40” of popular classics.
Surely a 24-lmur station could
offer wider variety even within
the "classical" framework
Still, it is Eugene's only
classically oriented station,
while other stations exist for
other genres. After Mr. Duffy
has spoilt a little more lime in
college he will doubtless meet
numerous persons — many of
them students under :*!»
whose musical tastes are more
diverse and sophistitatlod Ilian
he now imagines them to lie

Three for one
I have three letters to write,
but I have neither time nor
space to write all three So here,
very briefly, is what I want to
sav:
lariler I:
Memliers of the ASIIO Ex
ecutive should not threaten
members of the working press
with physical violence In do
so is stupid and anyone who
dials so is stupid. This has hap
pencil to me twice. It makes my
journalistic life worthwhile.
However io light of these
threats. m\ peisoiial salelv on
campus is in jeopardy. I
therefore demand inv right to

Letter 2:
Mellow out tin gays. lace it.
there is .« small. hysterical

Realize that thev art* in tin*
minority.
This liatlli! has btHumtt so
heated on cempux that people

Basically, homosexuality is not

Fresh idea
C i reeks:
Admit it to yourselves. Your
elitist society has many serious
problems. It’s trot! some Crt*eks
realize tilt! system has faults,
lint many remain ignorant and
closed-minded Still others
claim those who attack the
(irtrek system, sm li as myself,
have a distorted viewpoint
Ux.atiso llmv are not in the
system.
I suggest it's the Creeks who
have the distorted ami extreme
Iv biased perspective. It's hard
to sis! the truth when you have
Iwen sucked up iiv sm;h a cor
rupt system
Yes. it's true Creeks sponsor
worthwhile events. Hot does
this make up for the shit thev
poll' When most organizations
do something charitable thev
usually do it out of kindness
and don’t actively seek recogni
tion. But the Creeks are con
stantly telling its of all the
"good*' they tin It seems more
like an attempt to alleviate a
guilty conscience than to be
charitable.
Kit: llgenfritz claims that
since (he (’.reek system is grow
iug it must Im> doing something
right. Mi- must be unaware of
the Third Reich's rapid growth
in pre-war (iermany. A system's
growth does not indicate it is
free from wrongdoing.
I lore's a fresh idea instead
ttf constantly telling us of all the
' good' you do. why not try m
forming the student body of
measures the Creek system is
taking lo 1:01ml its own faults
(Mavis* you could include this
information in vmtr Newstlreek
publication ) You just might
make some "fucking narrow
minded suns-of bitches" see

Psychology
Male strategy
in recent weeks, several male
writers have complained in
these pages they are tired ot be
ing talreled as potential rapists
merely because they are men
Cuilt by association, they cor
rectly suggest, is an indignity
that is easy to apply bill verv
difficult lo shed
Our group was created more
than a year ago in part tier ause
we recognized that, as men. we
are all suspect as potential
violators of women As such, it
is one of the wavs in which rape
is a men's issue. \Ye must |oin
most men in wauling to escape
such stereotypic, labels as
"potential rapist."
Our strategy for this has i>een
to educate ourselves and other
men alanil the socialization pro
miss ilial allow s ami encourages
men to think and ad in ways
that perpetuate the stereotype*
We don’t pretend to have the
answers, tail we do feel we have
gained something in our ex
pioration and deh.ite ot the
c|uestiuns
The name-tilling, fear, anger
and hurt evident in a number of
recent letters by writers ot both
genders is disturbing We
would like to invite those* who
are curious, mad or just plain
confused about the issue of rape

attend our next "open forum"
