Disenfranchised
This is in response to the let
ter from Bryce Ryan (OI)E. May
1<)) c laiming that justified van
dalism is legal vandalism.
First, vou berate the ODE for
not signing their editorials
What connection is there lie
tween spray painting a side
walk or a wall on private prop
erty and ink in a newspaper?
Second, not unlike jeans dav
that did more damage than
good for gay rights, graffiti as a
public medium is still a crime
Would it make equivalent sense
for someone to spray paint im
portant views on your home, if
the reason was justified and no
other option was available for
the so-called artist?
A better brand of vandalism?
I know, how about. in some
special cases, and only if the
cause is a good one mind vou.
legal shoplifting or even better
tenable sexual harassment All
right, enough sarcasm Agreed,
the number of homophobic atti
tudes and discrimination of any
and all minorities on this cam
pus is frightening. And 1 do
support the rights of the disen
franchised. but to get off your
back and out of your face in
light of the double standard is
absurd

I Diversity athletu s does a
great deal to better the Timor
sity as a whole and that in turn
is a benefit to ear h individual
student
For some students athletu s
are their only resource for get
ting through the rigors of
school These resources range
from financial help for the ath
letes to their maintaining their
mental health by taking them
away from the numerous hours
of study Maybe you don't see a
direct benefit to Mike Swanson,
but these athletes and their ath
letii a< tivities add to the getter
al diversity .it the University
Furthermore, athletu events
allow for a sociological la< tor
known as a safety valve A safe
tv valve can lie explained as a
time set aside in order to re
lease, or "vent," deviance
University students can release
many of their aggressions and
frustrations bv simply attend
mg a sporting event and veiling
support for the team This vent
ing could, if not for athletics,
o< i ur in forms such as slander
ing individuals, vandalism,
fighting, etc
So you see Mr. Swanson, alh
letics play a key role in the
University and need all the
support they can get And it
you can't see this, that is unfor
tunate for you.
