Show The Dally Utah Chronicle, Tuesday, June 3, 19M Page Nine LETTERS What does future hold for activists? would be hypocritical. My suggestion to you is either knock off the foolishness right now or get serious and join the Peace Corps. Empty-heade- d protesting for a Editor: Now that summer is here, people uill be moving out of student housing, apartments and shanties. To this latter group, ever since the weather got hot, Chronicle readers have been subjected to intellectual g involving your cause. I feel it name-callin- only right to add my own, and ask what you think you have accomplished since the structure went up. It's a fine thing to condemn from afar, but do you suppose that even one poor black in South Africa has ever heard of the University of Utah and its "efforts?" I have to wonder what sort of career you political activists are planning while in higher education and what will happen when you graduate. Will you move to a new shanty in Liberty Park?

Their rationale for this is based on the sentiment that men need a berth to socialize without females all-ma- le present. This mentality is acceptable, when their except membership scroll reads like the book, Who's Who in Salt Lake Gty. fashioned, the club is no longer "just a boy's club." It becomes an outright display of sexual discrimination. For the past two months, students have been calling the president's office attempting to discover if President Chase Peterson is a member of the Alta Club, and if so, is his membership being paid by the university. All attempts have proven futile. The only reply that has been received has been from the president's secretary informing us that, "We are looking into the matter." Now come on, how long docs it take to find out? Nelly Hinojosa Senior biology When women are excluded from an Africans; and when you have this background, do something besides talk!
