     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

     MEN'S LIBERATION AND 
     
     ALL THAT 
     
    
   
   
    
     Men of the world 
     
     unite! 
     
    
   
   
    
     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- 
     
    
   
   
    
     dencesa’ Not so in 
     
     the girls' resi- 
     
     dences. Hours for 
     
    
   
   
    
     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. 
     
    

    
     Then gentlemen 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘ it shall not be! 
     
     1 she ever considered 
     
     ‘ your feelings? 
     
     ; she ever been in the 
     
     i position of taking 
     
     someone out and not 
     
    
   
   
    
     believe it! 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     there is the question 
     
    
   
   
    
     of dating. When a 
     
    

    
     guy takes a girl out, 
     
     who picks up the tab? 
     
     The guy, right? Why 
     
    
   
   
    
     :should this stupid 
     
     ‘and unjust farce have 
     
    
   
   
    
     continued so long? 
     
    

    
     It is because we have 
     
     become mice and not 
     
     men. We are scared 
     
     to speak out for 
     
     fear of hurting her 
     
     feelings. The hell 
     
     with her feelings! 
     
     Who in blazes does 
     
     she think she is 
     
     anyway? Some damn 
     
     queen to be pampered 
     
     and waited on hand— 
     
     and-foot all day! By 
     
     the living daylights, 
     
     Has 
     
    
   
   
    
     Has 
     
    
   
   
    
     being able to afford 
     
     cab fare home? I 
     
     think not. However, 
     
     she does not care. 
     
     She is out to have a 
     
     damn good time at 
     
     the expense of all 
     
     guys who are naive 
     
     enough to be taken 
     
     in by her feminine 
     
     wiles. 
     
    

    
     There is a popu- 
     
     lar misconception 
     
     that girls are at 
     
     this university for 
     
     an education. Don't 
     
     It is a 
     
     deliberate lie. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Everyone knows that 
     
    
   
   
    
     a girl's sole‘pur-

     tremely clear. Why 
     
    
   
   
    
     mooch off someone 
     
     two or three times 
     
     a week when she can 
     
     mooch off someone 
     
     for the rest of 
     
    

    
     her life?

     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.
