Real democracy
Politics anil football don't
mix. The recent pronounce
ments by S'FI. commissioner
Paul Tagliabue amount to
blackmail of the people of Ari
zona. and our demix rutic pro
cess Politicians in Arizona are
now desperate!) trying to de
(ermine if they can pass a bill
combining Washington's and
Lincoln's birthdays and leaving
room for a King day
It's obvious that Arizona vot
ers voted their conscience tier
tainly. it's disheartening that
the spirit of equality and to
getherness does not pervade in
the state However, the voters
have spoken and the democrat
ic process is confirmed.
By attempting to punish the
voters of Arizona, by taking
away the Superbowl, the demo
cratic process is threatened. If
people cannot freely vote their
conscience without fear of re
prisal. America is no better
th.in the host of authoritarian
figures around the globe In
deed, it is no better than the
once glorified kkk in the
South which punished blai k
voters and white sympathizers
for participating

Political science
Law breakers
It's great that organizations
which discriminate on the basis
of race or sexual preference are
not allowed to use University
facilities, hut I don't care if the
CIA hires only blacks, hispan
ics and homosexuals they
should not be allowed to use
the University or the Emerald
as their recruiting territory.
Equal opportunity terrorism
is no better than any other kind
of terrorism. If the CIA had the
fairest hiring practices on the
planet, it would still !>e racist
If it obeyed every affirmative
action law on the books, it
would still be a law-breaking
organization.
The CIA has waged, and will
r
continue to wage war on peo
ple of color. It has broken, and
will continue to break interna
tional law. and it has never had
and will never have a legiti
mate role in a University envi
ronment

Stamped out
Shocked and embarrassed
were the words I would use to
des< ribe inv feelings w hen I
was denied the food I had
placed on the counter of the
campus 7 1 1 store because they
no longer accept food stamps
I am a struggling student
w ho does not always have time
to prepare a sack lunch for my
self while trying to get my
child off to day care in the
morning, get myself together
for a long day of school and a
day at the office (I work for the
1 'niversity).
So. where within walking
distance, can a University stu
dent go lietwcen classes for a
bite to eat if they are cursed
enough to have to use those in
convenient things called food
stamps' It seems to me like an
other misunderstood, dis< rim
inatorv step taken against the

King for a day
As the editorial in the Krner
aid noted |Nov 12). there
has lieen a great deal of i ontro
versy over whether a day
should lie set aside to rum
memorate Martin I.other king
|r s birthday
This letter is to suggest that
king is not an appropriate role
model As is well known, king
had several extramarital affairs
even while ordained .is a minis
ter In addition, it has recently
been established that king pla
giari/.ed much of his d<n (oral
dissertation while at Boston
University.
The ideal expressed by king
should not tie tainted by the
failings of the man Perhaps an
other day signifii ant to the < iv
il rights movement needs to be
selected instead of king's birth
day
