Dear Sir:

I wish to start a semi—regular column in your paper. I propose to call it "Backlash", by

"Lightning". I will speak on a number of topics and use many modes of expression such as commentary, the short story, and the play. I propose that you label me as a mystery column- ist and encourage readers to guess my identity. If my identity has not been discovered by the end of the term, I shall reveal all. Should these pro- posals not meet with your satisfaction or should my first

effort be too contro-

versial to publish,_ please destroy this manuscript.

Best regards, Lightning

servile yoke of womanhood! Too long have we degraded our human dignity by pondering to female whims. It is time that the female set realize that we are not sheep and will’ not be led around like a dog on a string. Basic-prejudice against males around this campus are ev1— dent.» Take the residence situation for example. At almost any time of the day or night, .a girl can walk in— to the men's resi-

males visiting Marian Hall or Bernadine Hall are rigidly restricted to the hours of

ljudice?

Too long have we remained under the

6 - 12 PM. The only other instances where males are allowed in these fortresses of female prejudice and pomposity are during special occasions such as open house or Team Canada hockey game. Did you ever, in your entire life, see such a flagrant case of blatant pre- Too long have we been sub- jected to the double standard whereby something is okay for girls but not for guys. We demand our rights. We demand open resi- dences. We will not be treated as second class citizens any- longer.

Take again the system of buying drinks at a bar. A girl will sidle up

[to some guy she

knows at a bar and pretend to be friendly. Inside that scheming little head of hers, how- ever, she is secretly planning how to

‘mooch off the guy for

the rest of the night. Now it makes no

difference to her that she may have as much money in her purse as the guy has in his wallet. To her anyone is fair game as long as he is male and wears pants. She takes, advantage of the guy's usually placid and accommodating nature to drain his wallet and his booze. Friends this situation must no longer prevail! No longer shall we be regarded by women as mere money-ob- jects. We must get tough! We must see to it in future that the girl pays for her own drinks, un- less she happens.to be a girlfriend, relative, acquain- tance, or a nice looking broad.

Dear Randy:

In regards to your letter in last weeks' paper regarding my choice of words: I am quite aware that some words I use in my articles offend some people on campus- However, I felt, and still do feel that these words were the best words to express my feelings on the two concerts. I feel, also, Randy that anyone who would re- ject my views merely because of my choice' of words is very ir- rational. People of this nature should not be attending a University but in- stead should be preaching and cam- paigning for the League of Christian Descency where they will feel at home. The League of Christian Descency is noted for people with deep, dark fear of anything but God and politicians in power.
