I contend that the purpose of a mascot isn't to degrade de-grade or ridicule, bat to stimulate pride, reflect heritage and emphasize empha-size virtues. I look upon our Ute as a symbol of courage and strength, not anything degrading. Finally, it is beyond me why some must be so up-tight, supersensitive super-sensitive and over-reactionary that they demand the resignation of the Chronicle staff for publishing an ad and at the same time insist upon and fight for free speech on this campus. Who was it that said, "I may not agree with your ad, but Twill defend to my death your right to publish It?" It most certainly cer-tainly wasn't Laury Hammel. CRAIG GLOVER.

In this case it was to be a dance. This was clearly the only message mes-sage conveyed, and to try to find any racial undertones, allusions or even defamation cf Indian religion, re-ligion, is absurd. The ad needs no apology, in my opinion. The real problem for those who used it unjustifiably as a source cf attention for perhaps bona fide racial discriminations in whatever other contexts is the following: The use of the "Ute" Indian as en emblem, which has stood proudly for this university for so long, may no longer be appropri-ate, appropri-ate, because cf the current racial ra-cial sensitivities. Proponents for Indian causes should therefore have more properly brought this to the attention of the administration administra-tion and other student government govern-ment bodies, requesting the eradication erad-ication of the "Ute" Indian emblem, em-blem, because it would in the future fu-ture be a constant eye sore, being interpreted by them as a slight of the true, self-image of the Indian.

How absurd! To claim that communism com-munism is a panacea for our environmental en-vironmental ills is to lay bare a stupidity for the whole student-body student-body to laugh at. The environmental environmen-tal pollution control of Russia is by no means a showcase. Think of a cellulose plant on the banks of a lake in Karjala. A putrid, gagging smell of sulfur permeates throughout the valley surrounding the lake. Yellow sludge gurgles out of pipes into the once-clear lake. Once the water was fit to drink; now it darkens by the minute. min-ute. Communism a cure for pollution pol-lution ills? Blagh! BRIANT JENSON. SeriousSv?
