. Dear Editor:

In last week’s Gem you made a great issue of citing your editorial policy, and I quote, “We will print any- thing except that which is malicious.” I fail to under- stand your justification in

subjecting your readers to such tasteless, racist garbage as Magnum, PEI. Our uni- versity, which I thought prided itself in an open, un- prejudice welcoming of any possibly be

race, cannot

At first I excused it as a moment of poor judgment on your part, not unlike previous errors in

gusting material.

outrage, totally unacceptable. embarrassed to say our cam- pus newspaper is responsible for allowing this to continue. —Dawn MacDonald EDITOR REPLIES: Un- fortunately. Mr. Lategan cannot respond to these crit- Icisms of his satire since he’s

not living in PEI right now. I too wondered why the black character in’ Magnum. PEI was constantly being pointed out. I assumed when I first read the that Late- gan was making a comment about the lack of black char- acters in the Anne hooks or

series

that it was an ‘inside joke’ of some kind. Merely point- ing out that the character is intended to be black is not racist. since it does not im- ply inferiority or superiority of any kind. However. I can see now that some. of Late- gan’s descriptions are stereo- typical. and The Gem tries to avoid promotion of stereo- types. I apologize if the ear- toon has offended anyone,
