Show Facet To the Editor Dear Readers Readers' of this outstanding outstanding out out- ut- ut standing newspaper I have havethe havethe havethe the highest praise for this paper and its contents For example There was not one issue of Points West last year other than a reprint of an an old iss issue e. e Just think what you would have missed if that were true this year The news of J. J Ls L.'s retirement the latest in sports events notto not notto notto to mention the numerous other other other oth oth- er stories and advertisements advertisements advertisements advertise advertise- ments about school ties One of the keys to a successful year both for the student body and student- student body officers is a good scratch cratch that excellent newspaper newspaper and you are reading one issue of such a newspaper right now The amazing things you would see if you could compare compare compare com com- pare this year with last year So instead of slinging shit at atthe atthe atthe the editor and staff slow slowdown slowdown slowdown down and think a minute I for one enjoy the cartoons cartoons cartoons car car- articles and foul language language language lan lan- guage etc that everyone is complaining about Besides who in the hell are you to try and prevent me from reading foul language or laughing at gross cartoons and I thought most of them were damn funny You have no more of a aright aright J rig right t to to tell Fred not to print nasty cartoons than I have a aright aright aright right to tell him not to print an article on the various religions religions religions re re- of Utah Also you have no right to keep me from reading or viewing smut if I want to True you should not have to view it if you dont don't want to but I want to I like it I like the sideshow sideshow sideshow side side- show at the circus also where I can see a man with a twisted body behead a chicken chick chick- en with liis bis teeth and you do donot donot donot not have any right to stop me from watching So lighten up upa a little Maybe the answer isto is isto isto to assign page 5 or so as a smut page and say at the top this page is pronounced pure filth by those who know it all and if you dont don't like smut dont don't read page 5 Now dont don't get me wrong Ido I Ido Ido do go to church and there are even some things which I think are sick and gross and should not be printed or seen So far I have not seen or read anything that truly fits this category Well that's my opinion You have yours Im I'm sure and maybe we dont don't agree Not everyone thinks like you or I which is one ope nice thing Youre You're perfect but Im I'm far from it Sincerely Tom Mayhew P PS S. S I dont don't want to sound lik like a a pervert but I wanted to toge get ge my point across very strongly Another explanation tion of rights is right for e each ch chand and every person to o decide for themselves what is is' smut and what is not By taking away that right and we would all ll become robots that just listen and then do without without- thinking or using the mind that we all have I also believe in women's lib right on on They should be off to war getting their heads shot off just dust like the men that went to Viet Nam That's where women are headed if ff they keep on pushing Now dont don't misunderstand misunderstand misun misun- t- t I really dont don't want to see their nice little bodies all shot shot up up but if that's what they want equal rights have at atit it The senate is doing a darn good job and other than thana a few mistakes on my part that will shortly be corrected corrected corrected ted its it's not going badly To all those senators who WILL WILLBE WILLBE WILLBE BE at the meeting 11 1130 30 Tuesday February 28 in the council room PLEASE BE BEON BEON BEON ON TIME Points West I have wasted my time for several hours in the past few weeks by reading this so- so called newspaper and although al- al although al a- though I find a FEW articles concerning the administration administration tion and of this college I am overwhelmed by sickening cartoons and editorial editorial editorial ed ed- comments that week after week do nothing except condemn apathy Well GOODIE FOR POINTS WEST What an intellectual treasure Surely ther are no other othe subjects ts on this campus camp camp- us that could merit a word or two from F. F L. L Wilbur Mr Mrs so soB B Beck ck and F F. F L. L Wilbur Wilbur Wil Wil- bur are terrific at screaming at the apathetic and look at atthe atthe atthe the throngs of students who have awakened from their reverie and are now percent percent percent per per- cent involved at this school I doubt seriously that either of their comments have done anyone any good and they are probably turning off some students who may have considered getti getting g involved oh how I love to be classified classified classified classi classi- fied into different ies WONDERFUL May I make a comment I came here to learn not to get involved involved involved in in- with other school ac- ac There now I am stuck into a category by Mr Beck Let me give some information that will not only dissolve any anonymity that tha t was opposed by Mr Beck but hopefully give some insight into this cate cate- gory My name is Steve A.

I am am sure that others others others oth oth- ers have their own reasons I r become e ill whenever someone someone someone some some- one one speaks in such vague generalities I commented earlier that you were probably not ot making mak mak- making ing any apy progress with your editorials so so may I make as a s suggestion If you want to get more ore people involved then take an interest in individuals in individuals individuals in in- and ASK them to join you in your involve involve- ment Let me illustrate my point by giving the example of the missionary efforts of the Church I know that tha t a lot of readers will become be be- come ill ll at the mention of the Church but look at the ever increasing number of con con- verts The reason behind this amazing growth is that members members mem mem- bers take time with the individual individual individual indi indi- vidual and show him that they care for him as an i in in- dividu 1 How many people would the Church attract if they put an edito editorial ial in a newspaper saying Join the Church or you'll rot rotin in HELL for fory your ur sins This is the attitude that Points West and other writers in the P Wi P-Wi W appear to come come across come across with 4 Enough said Now for a comment or two on the cartoons that you print each week It is my under- under that is to prepare prepare prepare pre pre- pare the individual for experience experience experience ex ex- in ip the business world through several methods methods methods meth meth- by acquiring information information information tion through books working with instructors with experience experience experience exper exper- in the specific field and through practical ex ex- At the very least this is what I came for I did NOT come to find an exten- exten ex ten ten- tion of High School For the he most part I have found the thea a atmosphere of an adult businesslike businesslike businesslike bus bus- like iness-like world that I was looking for with the exception exception exception tion of the cartoons in Points West Cartoonists in high school newspapers attempt to print gross vulgar sexually sexually sexually sex sex- over toned cartoons in their paper only to be foiled by conservative advisers or principals But Lo and Behold Behold Behold Be Be- hold they are not restricted by such at This brings me to a question How many real life newspapers or company company company com com- pany publications public ti ns include this type of trash How would publishing such cartoons cartoons car cartoons car car- in a daily paper affect affect af af- feet its circulation Sure it may may gain a few readers of a certain type but it would lose much of the the general public and Im I'm not talking about just the religious community ty either Im I'm talking about the public at large If you insist up upon n printing such uch garbage at least print it somewhere that I dont don't have to be sub sub- jetted to it by just browsing through the paper or I will end up following the paths of others who simply dont don't read Points West simply to avoid this trash I appreciate t the e opportunity ity to spout off and please dont don't think that I hate everything everything everything every every- thing about abou the paper I think that the contrib contributions by stud students students stu stu- d dents to the poetry and art sections are great and the majority of the articles that directly relate to the student- student body and faculty of this college college college col col- lege are good Keep up the great work in these areas areas Just please cut out put the apathy bit and the rotten cartoons cartoons cartoons car car- Sincerely Steve A.
