To the Editor:
While I realize you're under considerable time constraints, it is entertaining to see that your fine 35-cent production is the only publication in the world which would label debate about a resolution which passed UNANIMOUSLY as "marr[ed by] ... personal barbs and infighting." Yes, there was another impromptu resolution which caused more heated debate; but by eagerly drooling and searching for any form of "controversy" you can find, you do little more than highlight why you and I, as students, are rarely trusted to handle major decisions affecting the institution.
I'm embarrassed to be responding at all. If it was simply an attack on me -- like the comment about my apparent "political castration"-- I would be perfectly willing to be on my way -- selling my new "do-it-yourself" vasectomy kits door-to-door (only $19.95, works like a champ).
I feel obligated to write though, because this isn't just about you, me or the SA. You are responsible for painting the picture of students which the Trustees and the administration see everyday -- as am I on occasion, and God knows I've had my blunders. But tell me, why should any student input be trusted in decisions impacting the institution when the "reality" of the student world you (finger)paint everyday is consistently full of childishly irresponsible gossip? I mean, my life as a eunuch is a happy one, but has President Freedman or your mother ever had to read anything I've published about your scrotum? How can you possibly feel entitled to judge the integrity of your peers? Are you not capable of rising above the "crabs in a bucket" stereotype?
I wish you a stellar career in the National Enquirer headquarters good sir. I heard the ghost of Rukmini was seen in EBA's, or was she at the SA meeting? Sometimes it is just so difficult to figure out who she's really haunting. Well, if there's something strange in your neighborhood, you know who to call ...
