The tale of Colson's future
still rests in the votes of his
fellow committee memlu'rs.
Second chance for
IFC to settle scandal
IK: Committee Chairman Mike Colson h.is wisely
tiri idl'd to abstain from voting arid stop down as chair
man Colson first offered to abstain from voting on
budgeting matters only, reserving his rigid to vote on
< onimittee polic \ dot isions
Hut hoi ause the accusations that tiave been made
against Colson are regarding operational procedures
the o-st of the IK voted to remove Colson's voting
rights entirel\
(iolson vs ill abstain from voting until the (lonstitu
lion Court decides on the legality of A SI O President

mended for tab
mg the fust step
to allow the IK
to < ontinue
with its duties
Hut his act ept
ance of the non-voting restriction raises one important
question Because Colson won't lie voting at IK meet
ings he could let him oils be removed from oftii e aftei
three weeks lot non fulfillment of dutv
I he \Sl'() should make sure this does not happen
Removing < olson from oftii e in such a bai f handed
maunei would be skirting justit e
('olson has agieed to step clown in good faith until

View from Hell
Regarding Anthonv Russell's
weasel whipping letter (DPI
Apr f»|:
II Russell is so intent on gag
gmg ami whipping people with
leather hells w ho hold opinions
opposite of his I suggest In
seek professional help: not onh
lor Ins apparent sexual perver
sums hut also for his complete
intolerance for contradictory
\ levs points
Russell \ letter concerning
Our Version of Hell." a com
munity at i i-ss television pro
gram on ( able 14 is i learK an
unwarranted attack on some
very upstanding young adults
who have found the courage to
take a conservative perspective
ol todav s issues and televise it
I Ills viewpoint is very refresh
mg in a i (immunity that has he
( ome so an ustomed to v lew ing
events through a logged liberal
eyeglass that people i an t dis
tinguish a sm i essful war effort
from a hole in their tie dy e tin

I have often watched "Our
Version of Hell" and eiu mirage
others to do so the same every
Monday at 4 1(1 p in The pro
gram is well-written witty and
politic ally insightful
These media trendsetters
should not be whipped out ol
town as suggested, rather they
should receive applause, not
heatings Russell, on the other
hand should enroll in some
logit courses instead of so
many peace studies i lasses and
hack\ s.n k tournaments
I’euple w ith tus attitude
should spend less time on tin
steps of the Federal Building
and more in the st.u ks ot the h
brnr\ Whoops they t ut
dow n your t tees for more
books Never mind
These brave souls have m\
applause lot the hi illiance. w it
insiy>ht and sweat they have m
i orporated into their skits I
surest that intolerant liberals
wake up to reason These he
roes of media are anything but
"tilth monkeys " Russell

Liberalism
In response to Bret Yagei s
"host Ideal" | ODE. Apr a)
Homophobia isn't liberal 1 11*
eralism is based upon the poli
IK al philosophy ot the "Indict
in progress and the essential
goodness of man" fl.iberalism
IP . Webster dn lionai \ I
Ilomophobia is |ust .is unai
c eptable as heterophobia anti
semitism, or any other preju
dued doctrine Why should
there only be toleraiu e ot ho
mosexuality and not ai ( ept
am e?
Homophobia stems from ig
norance and tear of what one
does not know Ignorant e is
not acceptable
If Yager considers himself a
liberal then he should believe
in progress through under
standing and learning about
those things whn h he does not
know
