In response tu Sloven |
Weidem.in's letter {ODE May
17| regarding the groek system
.is .1 steadfast " vanguard of
tradition and patriotii Amen
can values a target of the
hlame Amerii a lust lobby I
would strongly offer that he
speaks for himself only and
not the entire greek system
Ihe greek system has truly
diverse people within it ton
trarv to what some people he
lieve Not everyone i (insiders
anti war protesters "avowed
enemies
Surprise, surprise Some of
us even pailit ip.ited in anti wai
protests
One is led to wonder how
such idiot it assumptions i an
he made based on sin h a large
i (immunity The greek system
does not speak with one voice,
lust as the whole student body
doesn't vote with one hollot
Next time Weideman should
replai e Ins "we" with "I," and
not speak tor .ill of us unless he
knows eai.h and every single
one our politiial beliefs I ndy
it is this kind of outright, unin
formed, outrageously over gen
eralized stupidity whii h gives
a whole community a bad
name
I urge t fi.it the next time
Ueidman speaks pufilii ly on
ac( ount of a group, he must re
ali/.e tfi.it Ins voire is only one
weak v\ itfl misunderstand
mg at th.it lie should speak foi
himself

In response to Steven |
Weidemans Letter |()l)i Slav
17). I offer a definition from
Webster
I asi ism A system ol govern
nient o! the extreme rigid,
typically through the merging
of state and business leader
ship together with a belliger
ent nationalism
The effects of fast 1st reten
live attitude like Weidman's
i mild destrov the verv svstem
he i laims to i>e a supporter ot
through his i lose mmdedness
Uorrer t me if I'm mistaken, hut
wasn't the United States
brought into existence hec ause
of unrest? Seeking to better the
government system is perhaps
the most patriot!! form of ex
pression know 11
I take insult at the insinua
turn that liei arise I participated
in tlie anti Unit war protest that
I am anti American Is seeking
to protect the lives of all our
soldiers unpatriotii ' I don't
think so
In theory, the greek system is
not that had of an idea, but in
prat tu e is deserving of nothing
save contempt I'he stereotyp
mg attitude present in Weide
man's letter is one oi the rea
sons
To suggest that bee ause I am
pierced I automatically hold
certain views is absurd Does
Weideman think that cart urnci
sion defines one as Jewish’’ Of
course not Ot a clue

weekend I went on Saturday
night to watch what I expected
to lie some mediocre entertain
ment-on-n budget Instead I
found myself totally dazzled
with the talent, creativity, and
originality that ssas displayed
The i oncert featured seven
dances created entirely hv the
students Isai h one ssas a gem;
ssell com eiveil, ssell implr
merited entertaining, provoca
tive and thoroughly enjoyable
While I had a i ouple of stand
out favorites, any ot these
dances i mild he performed pro

audiem es every ss here
In short, this ssas a real treat
Thanks to all you dam nrs and
choreographers (and instruc
tors?) who put on such a won
