LETTERS
Oaf control
I have been planning for
sonic time to write a letter
about the security crew con
tracted by the athletic depart
ment. and the recent letters to
the Emerald [ODE. Nov H)
have convinced me that it's
high time!
Those rude, thoughtless folks
were contracted, as I under
stand it. in response to rowdi
ness at last year's football
games 'The most unfortunate
result of the whole mess is that
these blue-coated oafs were
used to "control" the crowds at
last spring's track meets. They
replaced a crew of older folks
who were friendly and effi
cient.
It's important to note that
fans at track meets are not row
dy In fact, a cheerful, friendly,
family atmosphere prevails at
every meet.
This past spring the new se
curity crew managed to ruin al
most everyone’s fun at the
meets They approached each
meet like gestapo. They were
surly and rude They carried
some rules to silly extremes
like not allowing an athlete to
go sit with his parents, even
though the stands were almost
empty
They clearly weren't track
fans, and their actions showed
that they had no appreciation
of proper behavior at track
meets, for example, they often
stood in front of the stands,
blocking people's view Their
behavior at each meet was in
ept and heavy-handed. I strong
ly recommend that they not be
used at any more track meets

What message is the Hrand
administration sending when
its best efforts to ensure the
safety of women on campus
consist til warning them of dan
ger and helping them avoid it'
What are we being taught, if
when confronted with a threat
to our safety, well-being and
personal freedom we are told,
even encouraged, to cope with
(lie situation rather than t hange
it?
This administration's mini
mal response to rape serves by
example, to < reale i iti/ens who
view the social realities ol their
time as uiimalleahle givens, be
