Show February 21 1975 Page 9 7YI1S Priorities Editor Student Life: Certainly there must have been a misprint (hopefully) in your January 24th issue of Student Life I read with disbelief the “complete elimination” of the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Exceptional Child Center due to a shortage of funds ($100000 and $150000 respectively per annum) However my stomach took a turn for the worse upon reading that “Utah State has an $850000 annual budget for it’s men’s varsity athletics” and an additional $145000 for women’s varsity teams Let it be known I am not down on athletics I’m just wondering if our it’s not time to values and the purpose of this institution as perceived by the students faculty community and 1IYTI1S and have one small chid You can therefore imagine that my savings account isn’t all that big However I can honestly say that I will accept full responsibility for all my acts — even It is how a beyond my comprehension to would choose instead person run from responsibility and allow such an act to play on one’s conscience (I feel sorry for you if it doesn’t) Is it really worth it? It is the law that all drivers must have collision insurance If you do what is the hassle? Your insurance company will pay for my door — believe me they can afford it better than I can Please dear friend give me a financial responsibility ‘ call - 752-918- 2 Dennis James 528-76-12- te Thanks tax-paye- rs Kathy Bridges Editor Student Life: 149-38-28- 84 Persons involved in the Special Physical Education Program at the Exceptional Child Center would like to express our sincere thanks to Lois Downs and Ken Seamons for the equipment and support they have given us this 67 per cent Editor Student Life: quarter I’d like to correct the statistics printed in Student Life in the article Friday on homosexuality The figure for women is as stated however the percentage of men who have participated in homosexual acts is 67 percent Yes- - folks thats two out of three I suspect even in Logan Utah So reconsider people if you publicly condemn what you ' practice in private The percentage of people who are exclusively homosexual is about 8 percent Many many people between the poles of 7-- and heterosexuality homosexuality are bisexual That’s normal and that’s good and the percentages apply to all cultures at all times Think on" it For Christians interested in Gay Christians I recommend they read Troy Perry’s book The Lord is My Shepard and He Knows I’m Gay or contact the Metropolitan Community Church in almost any major city (Gay Protestants) Dignity in New England (Gay Catholics) or the Gay Mormon Group in Boston Name Withheld — TfVUHOMIT-MAY-CQNCER- We would also like to thank Craig Anderson and STAB for recently donating two tricycles to our program Any organization or person who would like to donate PE equipment to the Exceptional Child Center please contact 0 Chuck Stella or Dar 8 Krambule are in any other community in PIRG has checked the survey the US of its size Its just not data and found that every one of openly shown because of the the Safeway (which is the only of Logan store which Student Life quoted Since it isn’t an open subject in as being slighted) prices were this town people have become accurate as stated I do freely very naive and defensive on the admit that Safeway was not subject of homosexuality and to misrepresented by admit to being gay would be choosing the cheapest store almost suicidal brand for each item However Personally I have been lucky this inaccuracy may have ocenough to have friends that are curred in all of the stores Several days after the price understanding enough to be able I to treat the subject in a mature comparison was published of them are straight visited Mr Millburn Safeway’s way Most but couldn’t care less what a manager to apologize for Student Life’s editorializing on person’s sexual orientation is I hope that in the future people the data asked the paper will be more open and honest to to publish The front page article which themselves and others about their in Student Life on ever if USU I will doubt Best Is sexuality proclaimed “Macey’s Liberation Food Buy” was not indicated by have a Gay movement in fact Utah will the price comparison or by but by Student Life probably be the last frontier to In I even talked to Mr homosexuality Before totally accept the larger cities it’s almost a fad Millburn I had asked the editor now to be bisexual of Student Life to print a followI expect I will probably get a lot up article to the price comparison of feedback from this letter and explaining that 77 items are not most of it will most likely be from an adequte sample from which to those opposed to homosexuality draw conclusions concerning Let me say that no one is 100 which supermarket is cheapest percent gay or straight overall This article appeared in Everyone has the potential to Student Life on the front page on move in either direction What However in the would really be interesting is if article Mr Brady attributed this every gay student at USU wrote a statement to another source as if letter into Student Life I think it was unaware of this fact would really give Logan a shock In summary I would like to So wake up Logan and face the state that any harm done to local world businesses as a result of the price comparison was due to Student Name

have a laugh for only $350 1 had happily also learned through other letters that if I got a date with one of those sluts in a ski parka and bluejeans I could also cure my hornies So I got my date and went in a laughing mood to see the concert To my amazement the concert wasn’t the Jlaugh I came to get Instead I was to witness one of the best concerts here in three years I learned many things that night The cultural committee after all was indeed doing a great job So I say thanks to Buzz and everybody else except Rod Rasmusson Rod as I made my move on this foul girl she threw off her ski parka blue jeans and boots and low and behold she wore a dress and told me she was not a slut but that she was a woman of dignity So I enjoyed a fantastic concert and my hornies still’ prevail 75 Kevin
