go. When I first came to S.U. I was
pleasantly surprised by the
friendliness of the students, faculty and
staff. To suggest that we should try to
obtain one united campus is suggesting
that we ignore human nature. If you
want to evaluate the relationships
among people here at S.U. you should
take into consideration the violence
and anxiety that exists throughout the
world. I believe that if you make this
consideration you will be able to ap-
preciate the situation here at
Southwestern. You will probably never
experience as close a comunity In the
rest of your days.

O,
Dear Most Honorable Editor,
Two of my photos have been stolen
from the Union Art Gallery. The reason
I'm writing this letter Is not that I'm
sad over the loss of these photos but
that I'm proud that someone would ac-
tually steal my photos.
I must say that I was most pleasant-
ly surprised to learn that two of mu
photos were actually wanted. I will of
course assume that the thief or thieves
are experts In the art of photography.
Due to this person's expert knowledge
they must have been compelled to have
and to hold my outstanding photors. I
guess it wasn't good enough lust to look
at them!
As conservative as Americans
presently seem, too much has happen-
ed In the last few generations for them
to accept the New Right's solutions to
the widely-perceived moral malaise in
the nation.
The women of my mother's genera-
tion — people in their 60s — have been
part of the workforce of modern
capitalism all their adult lives. They're
not about to go back into their houses,
and they don't want their daughters to
be on the short end of the $1-to-59
average male-to-female wage differen-
tial in the U.S.
This is the pioneer generation, sent
into the factories during World War II,
that laid to rest the male-breadwinner
family, which now constitutes only
three percent of American families.
The women of my generation —
roughiz people between the ages of 35
and 45 — were pioneers in a different
sense. They staked out the first

toll
commitment, but which no longer can
be allowed to Imprison women as it has
for the last few thousand years.
Detailed programs to articulate a
. positive sexual morality need to be
fleshed out. I offer a few stances:
1. We are pro-family. We want to
protect it from the dislocation wrought
by large corporations looking for a
segmented workforce, and from a
government that invades private life.
2. We want to extend the concept of
family to conform to the reality that
Americans — for valid material and
psychological reasons — are living
right now. This Includes unmarried
couples, gay and lesbian couples, and
household collectives.
3. We oppose the sexual repression of
youth. Sexually active tennagers who
communicate with their parents and
who are trained In the use of birth con-
trol lead constructive, responsible
lives. We will defend those programs,
* JP
□ I ,
In all sincerity I feel the person or
persons responsible for the theft needs
help. .
Dear Bimbo,
Why did you steal the pictures? Do
you live In Ruter and need something to
cover the cracks in your wall? If so, I
can sympathize. But you could have at
least asked me before you took.them. I
would have been happy to let you have
them. I guess you realize that If you are
found you will be put on display In place
of the photos!!!

Don't get me wrong. I take them
seriously. They and the entire New
Right have a mass base, their own TV
and radiowprograms on a daily basis,
and considerable influence in officiAL
CIRCLES.
But the dual prongs of the Right's
sexual politics — women back in the
home and no sex before marriage —
clash with the beliefs of most
Americans.
The New Right is pushing both the
Human Life Amendment, which will
bring women's reproductive lives un-
der strict social control, and the Fami-
ly Protection Act, which will restrict
funding to VD and birth control ser-
vices — as well as remove school books
which do not portray clearly differen-
tiated sex roles for men and women. A
conservative Congress, responding to
national concern over the breakdown of
the family, may pass such legislation.
But it won't be easy. ___

that employers care what a potential
employee's values are, but for Pete's
sake, it shouldn't matter what religion
you are. It is in the constitution that all
employers will have no predudices

more consciencious toward the other

domains of formal equality — the
colleges and professional schools --
that women entered In substantial
numbers in the late fifties.
The emotional life of this generation
— which engaged in pre-marital sex
when it wasn't sanctioned — uncovered
issues that the women's movement
would later address. The demand for
sexual parity was joined to the demand
for economic equality.
In the face of these changes, struc-
tured into our very way of life, the
Right's sexual puritanism is doomed to
failure. But its agenda for our society is
still dangerous. It can, as it stumbles
into Its excesses, demoralize and con-
fuse Americans In aspects of their Ilves
in which they feel very vulnerable.
I believe we should take the offensive
against the sexual puritans of the New
Right by affirming sexuality as a
positive force in our life, a force which
cannot be separated- from love and

targetted for demolition by the New
Right, that counsel with young people
", on birth control and sexuality.
We should communicate with young
people about these Issues wherever we
find them. Our youth are desperate for
dialogue about these issues wherever
we find them. Our youth are desperate
for dialogue about personal issues in
their lives, which are ulltimately sex-
ual issues. Political activists would do
well to pay attention to these issues. A
popular movement that challenges the
corporations and the state In the 1980s
can only be a movement of people who
love themselves, whose sexual vitality
Informs and reinforces their sense of
collective responsibility.

Dear Editor:
On the article High Values Still Im-
portant, published in the last issue of
the Megaphone, it says: ". . .good ol'
Prostestant values" are what
employers are looking for in potential
hires. Granted, this is a "non-
denominational" Protestant school,
but I resent the fact that non-
Protestant religions are virtually ig-
nored on thi campus. What about the
Jews, Atheists, Catholics and/or
Budists (few as all of thesemay be) on
S. U.‘s campus? What I'm saying is

Letter to the Editor:
My name is Eddie Sherwood and I
am president of Kappa Sigma here at
Southwestern. After reading the Pike
president's views of his job and his
relations with the people on campus I
would like to express my own feelings
and conclusions. First of all I think ob-
jectivity should be practiced by any
president or presiding officer. His job
is to recognize the problems and needs
of his organization and present them
for orderly discussion and action. Of
course the president must set down cer-
tain rules and regulations for orderly
discussion and make sure everyone is
doing their job. He must also make the
final decision if a vote should end in a
tie. He should make this decision based
on analysis of both sides of a situation
and do what is best fortheorganization
as a whole; regardless of his opinion on
the er. Never has a decision I have
mace lessened my relationship with
my brothers. I believe you would have
to search far and wide to find as close a
working organization as exists here at
Kappa Sigma. Brotherhood and dedica-
tion are the driving forces behind this
chapter.
Generally, the relationships between
both individuals and groups on this
campus is great. Naturally there are
different groups and organizations that
form and this is true of anywhere you
