      Dear
      Editor,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ‘*Y
      ou
      cannot
      shake
      hands
      witha
      clenched
      fist’’
     
     
      -Indira
      Gandhi
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      think
      it
      is
      about
      time
      some
      of
      the
      feminists
      around
     
     
      this
      campus
      understand
      that.
      It
      is
      time
      to
      stop
      the
     
     
      male
      bashing
      and
      start
      making
      peace,
      between
      sexes,
     
     
      races,
      languages,
      and
      countries.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Colleen
      Easter.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Dear
      Editor,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      From
      you
      “‘Rape
      And
      Sexual
      Assualt
      Supplement’’
     
     
      issue,
      the
      article
      ‘‘Real
      men
      Don’t
      Rape’’,
      is
      unfairly
     
     
      written
      from
      my
      point
      of
      view.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      author
      who
      wrote:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ‘*Itis
      never
      OK
      to
      force
      yourself
      on
      a
      woman,
      even
     
     
      if:
     
    

    
     
      -She
      teases
      you
     
    

    
     
      -Dresses
      Provocatively
      orleads
      youon’’
     
    
   
   
    
     
      has
      no
      right
      to
      approach
      men
      in
      this
      fashion.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Naturally,
      itis
      never
      ‘‘OK’’
      to
      force
      anyone
      on
      any-
     
     
      one
      else.
      However,
      if
      the
      author
      is
      preaching
      men
     
     
      about
      this,
      then
      why
      did
      he
      or
      she
      not
      preach
      on
      the
     
     
      women
      who
      ‘‘teases’’
      and
      ‘‘dresses
      provocatively
      or
     
    
   
   
    
     
      leads
      you
      on.’’
     
    
   
   
    
     
      If
      you
      are
      to
      doa
      justified
      ‘‘Rape
      and
      Sexual
      Assualt
     
     
      Supplement,’’
      you
      should
      have
      also
      included
      some
     
     
      points
      about
      the
      women’s
      attitude:
      what
      real
      women
     
     
      don’tdo.
      Instead,
      your
      supplement
      is
      bias.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Iam
      disappointed
      by
      this
      supplement,
      and
      I
      do
      feel
     
     
      badly
      for
      the
      men
      in
      our
      society,
      who
      have
      to
      put
      up
     
    
   
   
    
     
      with
      those
      sort
      of
      preaching
      without
      any
      justification.

      reading
      it.
      I
      guess
      I
      proved
      my
      point:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Dear
      Editor,
     
     
      Re:
      Editing
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      would
      like
      to
      give
      you
      some
      advice
      on
      the
      printing
     
     
      of
      writing
      from
      an
      old
      hat
      at
      writing
      --proof
      read
      the
     
     
      works
      that
      go
      into
      the
      paper
      BEFORE
      it
      gets
      printed
     
     
      up,
      it
      is
      very
      useless
      after
      the
      fact.
      It
      is
      highly
     
     
      annoying
      to
      read
      our
      campus
      paper
      and
      find
      typos
      in
     
     
      every
      line.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      You
      will
      probably
      say
      it
      is
      impossible
      to
      check
      over
     
     
      everything
      before
      it
      goes
      to
      the
      printer’s,
      HOW-
     
     
      EVER,
      I
      do
      know
      for
      a
      fact
      that
      all
      of
      the
      articles
      are
     
    
   
   
    
     
      put
      into
      acomputer
      before
      being
      sent
      to
      the
      printer.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Try
      investing
      in
      a
      dictionary
      disk/spell
      check
      system
     
     
      for
      the
      X-Press
      computer
      and
      put
      it
      to
      use.

      Dear
      Editor,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      would
      really
      like
      to
      congratulate
      you
      on
      the
      success
      |
     
     
      of
      the
      paper,
      but,
      unfortunately
      several
      things
      keep
      :
     
     
      me
      from
      doing
      that.

      Naturally,
      I
      could
      comment
      on
      the
      spelling
      mistakes,
      —
     
     
      or
      the
      grammatical
      errors,

      things
      happen
      quite
      easily
      and
      are

      These
      things,
      in

      opinion,

      However,
      there
      is
      another,
      more
      serious
      problem.
      I

      am
      referring
      to
      an
      article
      that
      was
      published
      anedi-
     
     
      tion
      of
      the
      X-Press
      two
      weeks
      ago.
      The
      article
      was
      |
     
     
      about
      a
      fictional
      society.
      I
      submitted
      it
      to
      the
      paper
      —
     
     
      to
      testa
      theory.
      My
      theory
      was
      that
      if
      I
      submitted
      an
     
     
      article,
      that
      it
      would
      be
      published
      withoutanyone
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Not
      only
      did
      this
      fictional
      article
      get
      published,
      a
     
     
      factual

      Surely
      you
      see
      somes

      thing
      wrong
      with

      May
      I
      suggest
      that
      you
     
     
      take
      more
      care
      in
      the

      outcome
      ofthe
