Letter to the Editor Reader fears stupidity, homophobia at CCC To the editor : I would like this letter printed in rebuttal of the letter sent to you from Eric St. Anthony about the OCA. There are some points I would like to make about the stupidity and ignorance of the homopho bic letter about the OCA that was printed last week from Eric St. Anthony. First of all, who do you think you are Eric, to judge someone else’s actions? It doesn’t matter if your God doesn’t like homosexuality. People can do whatever they want and they don’t need your God’s approval. That is so flipping ignorant, it is pa thetic. You say AIDS is a punish ment for sins of homosexuality and sometimes innocent people get it Wakeup! Everybody gets AIDS regardless of whether they sin or not You say God did not A Clubs banquet A banquet, free to all club members, will be held at Leong's Restaurant, Thursday, May 28 at 7 p.m. Those inter ested in going can get more information from their club advisor or ASG.

X__________________ _ To the Editor: Democracy in America (see Tocqueville) or A Case of Over protection , Mr. Uris We will kill the NEA—the few pennies it casts to artists and the modicum of prestige it might bring to artists in the market place-in our fanatic zeal to pro tect democracy where ample protection already exists. The childhood fable "The Emperor and His New Clothes” may be uses as an analogy. In this fable, the subjects who lined the streets (similar to taxpayers) saw what the small boy uttered-the em peror was indeed naked! Most taxpayers, who see a piece of visual art sponsored by the NEA (such as "Piss Christ"), will first be struck at the emotional-vis ual level, not by an intellectual and cerebral volley of political or philosophical symbolism. These connectors will probably not happen until those more en lightened few critique these out of the work. The real point is a matter of patronage. In this instance the patron is the taxpayer. In our democracy, there are many types of patrons—both individuals and groups-who may sponsor practi-* cally any type of visual art they choose and label it as such. In addition, the artist may become his own sponsor. All are under the protection of the First Amend ment. Patrons have the right to draw their own lines, and taxpayers as patrons will eventually insist on it. Frankly, the comment during the debate that grabbed me the most was Mr. Hooley's statement of administrative costs to run the NEA programs—not the need to oveiprotect visual art from cen sorship.
