Dear
      Editor,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      What
      is
      going
      on?
      I
      think
      the
      issue
      of
      sexism
      is
     
     
      getting
      out
      of
      hand.
      Where
      do
      the
      feminists
      get
      off
     
     
      making
      statements
      about
      the
      state
      of
      the
      planet
      if
     
     
      women
      ranit.
      They
      are
      not
      only
      sexist
      in
      the
      ex-
     
     
      treme,
      but
      they
      also
      discredit
      the
      feminists
      making
     
     
      them.
      (If
      feminists
      are
      trying
      to
      rid
      the
      world
      of
     
     
      sexism,
      then
      why
      do
      they
      perpetuate
      it
      with
      such
     
     
      commentary?)
      These
      statements
      are
      probably
      also
     
     
      false.
      ‘‘Powercorrupts,
      Absolute
      power
      corrupts
     
     
      absolutely’’.
      It
      doesn’t
      matter
      whether
      there
      is
      a
      man
     
     
      or
      a
      woman
      in
      the
      seat
      of
      power.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Now
      the
      university
      isintroducing
      ‘‘Affirmative
     
     
      Action’’
      which
      simply
      polarizes
      the
      issue
      in
      the
     
     
      opposite
      direction.
      We
      need
      a
      group
      of
      people,
      with
      :
     
     
      equal
      numbers
      of
      men
      and
      women
      who
      do
      the
      hiring.
      |
     
    
   
   
    
     
      We
      need
      an
      impartial
      judge
      and
      nota
      stacked
      deck.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      X-Press,
      has
      become
      the
      arena
      for
      an
      unending
     
     
      shouting
      match
      between
      the
      feminists,
      and
      the
      male
     
     
      chauvinist
      pigs
      (for
      lack
      ofa
      better
      term).
      The
      men
     
     
      however
      are
      just
      as
      much
      to
      blame
      as
      the
      women.
      I’m
     
     
      justas
      sick
      and
      tired
      of
      reading
      about
      how
      the
      women
     
     
      malign
      the
      men
      and
      how
      the
      men
      malign
      the
      women.
     
     
      They
      are
      acting
      like
      two
      rival
      children,
      constantly
     
     
      bickering,
      to
      no
      useful
      end.
      I
      just
      wish
      they
      had
     
     
      parents
      to
      shut
      them
      up
      and
      get
      them
      to
      get
      along.

      don’treally
      hope
      that
      this
      letter
      will
      accomplish
     
     
      anything,
      Ill
      just
      pick
      up
      the
      next
      issue
      of

      Press

      the
      same
      people
      will
      be
      making
      the

      statements
      about
      the

      things

      Dear
      Editor,
      |
      ne
     
     
      I
      would
      like
      to
      take
      this
      opportunity
      to
      respond
      to
      the
     
     
      two
      recent
      commentaries
      in
      your
      newspaper
      pertainin
     
     
      to
      the
      staff
      of
      the
      popular
      nightclub
      in
      Ch’
      town,
     
     
      Myrons.
      I
      feel
      that
      it
      is
      my
      responsibility
      to
      shed
     
     
      some
      light
      on
      the
      recent
      events
      that
      took
      place.
      Thes:
     
     
      articles
      were
      written
      purely
      as
      opinions
      of
      people
     
     
      with
      extremely
      narrow
      minds
      with
      obviously
      no
     
     
      experience
      inthe
      “‘bar’’
      business.
      First,
      if
      the
      people
     
     
      involved
      were
      responsible
      drinkers
      and
      mature
      adults
     
     
      who
      knew
      how
      to
      conduct
      themselves
      in
      a
      public
     
     
      place,
      there
      would
      be
      no
      need
      for
      any
      of
      the
      staff
      to
     
     
      reactin
      any
      way
      excepta
      courteous
      way
      towards
     
     
      them.
      That
      should
      tell
      any
      person
      with
      the
      intelli-
     
     
      gence
      of
      a
      tomato
      that
      these
      people
      obviously
      don’t
     
     
      deserve
      to
      be
      treated
      any
      better
      than
      they
      act
      them-
     
     
      selves.
      I
      am
      sure
      that
      any
      of
      these
      people’s
      parents
     
     
      would
      be
      truly
      and
      utterly
      ashamed
      at
      the
      drunken
     
     
      immature
      and
      at
      times
      dangerous
      conduct
      if
      their
     
     
      sons/daughters.
      Apparently
      some
      sort
      of
      test
      should
     
     
      be
      given
      to
      these
      people
      before
      being
      allowed
      to
     
     
      consume
      alcohol,
      as
      their
      actions
      show
      the
      exact
     
     
      opposite
      of
      how
      you
      would
      expecta
      “‘mature’’,
      semi-
     
     
      intelligent
      human
      being
      to
      actin
      a
      public
      place.
      Their
     
     
      use
      of
      foul
      language,
      disrespect
      for
      authority,
      and
     
     
      disrespect
      for
      fellow
      human
      beings
      is
      enough
      to
     
     
      sicken
      me.
      Another
      point,
      how
      come
      these
      people
     
     
      feel
      they
      have
      been
      wronged
      so
      badly?
      Do
      they
      not
     
     
      realize
      that
      it
      is
      a
      privilege
      not
      a
      right
      to
      be
      admitted
     
     
      into
      a
      bar?
      And
      that
      at
      any
      point
      in
      time
      whether
     
     
      before
      or
      after
      they
      are
      allowed
      to
      enter
      the
      premises
     
     
      that
      they
      are
      in
      fact
      trespassing
      any
      time
      after
      they
     
     
      are
      asked
      to
      leave.
      Youcan
      be
      charged
      with
      trespass-
     
     
      ing,
      being
      drunk
      ina
      public
      place
      as
      well
      as
      uttering
     
     
      threats
      towards
      other
      people
      mainly
      staff.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      was
      truly
      outraged
      after
      reading
      these
      onesided,
     
     
      narrow
      minded
      comments
      from
      people
      who
      have
     
     
      absolutely
      no
      idea
      of
      the
      feeling
      a
      staff
      member
      may
     
     
      get
      after
      having
      to
      babysit
      upwards
      of
      600
      peoplea
     
     
      night,
      90
      percent
      of
      whom
      have
      been
      drinking.
      Put
     
     
      yourself
      in
      that
      person’s
      position
      for
      a
      moment;
     
     
      outnumbered
      by
      a
      huge
      amount
      of
      people,
      any
      of
     
     
      which
      may
      provoke
      violence
      towards
      others
      at
      any
     
     
      time,
      and
      as
      anyone
      knows
      people
      who
      have
      been
     
     
      drinking
      are
      not
      exactly
      noted
      for
      being
      calm
      and
     
     
      level
      headed.
      Iam
      not
      condemning
      the
      99%
      of
      people
     
     
      who
      enter
      a
      bar
      that
      are
      just
      out
      fora
      good
      time.
      Lets
     
     
      face
      it
      we
      all
      like
      to
      enjoy
      ourselves,
      even
      staff
     
     
      members.
      But
      1am
      not
      condoning
      the
      actions
      of
     
     
      people
      who
      display
      utter
      disrespect
      for
      authority
      as
     
     
      well
      as
      the
      personal
      feelings
      and
      well
      being
      of
      others.
