orted a sharp increase in the common cold.All this because we forgot to wipe the snow off our boots.

I hope the Student Ser— vices will see that they have improved one service at the expense of a val- uable student feeling, warmth. I hope that the powers that be will see the errors of their ways and initiate innediate plans to create a subway system that will eliminate this nasty epidemic of frost— bite that is expected in the next few weeks.

Frigidly yours,\ Fred Frozen.

OUR GOAL IS TO PLEA We do it all

test to the prophylactic advertisements which ap— pear in the Sun,

Not only do these ads detract frtulthe otherwise illustrious standard of the student newspaper, but they provide an inplica— tion as to the extra—cur— ricular activities of all students. The smacks of

canpus standards in journ—

alism we would like to forget.

It is conceded that the information provided in these ads is beneficial to sone on campus. Tbo, the newspaper has to main— tain the trite addage of- "freedom of the press". However,‘freedon1without standards ceases to be

liberty“ The product pro- noted in these ads is certainly not very subtle' encouragement to adhere to any kind of standards.

If however, sane indivi- ’ duals must resort to such devices to avoid taking any responsibilities for their actions, then these same individuals will un— doubtly manage to discover the devices on their own; ’ there is no necessity for degrading the quality of the newspaper — and the reputations of its students- by including such advertise- ments. - And God forbid if they are published only for the money!

Cbncerned Stu- dents on campus Dear Concernedk Money is a major factor

with any advertisement since that is the only reason papers print them. But we do choose who will advertise with us.

You inferred that the ad suggests all students are having sexual relation- ships. Zhat is not what an advertiser does. 'He simply writes the ad for the people who would have use for the product; in this case students who

tare "promiscuous."‘ It is not what is implied but what is inferred that is offensive.

Finally, with the num- ber of un-wed mothers and near-epidemie outbreaks of venereal disease, we be- lieve an ad of this sort- could only help the indi- vidual rather than offend
