Show ThuisdAy, OctobcR 1, 1987 Paqe TweIve Only amateurs use obscenity Editor: T find it hard to believe Chronicle campus editor Lori Bona, who holds a responsible position with a major university newspaper, would choose to include, for the sake of accuracy or making her story a little more juicy or whatever, a direct quote filled with obscene language ("Lack of quorum irks two groups," Sept. 28). I refer to Monday's piece on ASUU's failure to reach quorum at its final meeting. While not disputing such a comment was made, and supporting accuracy in quoting interviewees, seeing it in print reduced the dignity and credibility of the Chronicle. Perhaps striving to be a professional publication is not an aim of this newspaper, viz which makes the language more excusable. Even the most objective, liberal and open professional publications do not print such words because of their offensive nature. This is in contrast to. Misuse must stop Mr. Anderson, whose opinion of Bork is poorly reasoned and unpersuasive. Editor: It is pleasing to see the Chronicle attempt The existence of a constitutionally-protecte- d to right privacy is a hotly-debatissue. Please take the time to compare (or just read) such U.S. Supreme Court cases as Griswold vs. Connecticut, Roe vs. Wade and Bowers vs. Hardwick. While all these (and other) cases mention a right to privacy, this right has no clear Constitutional origin. ed Stuart Nelson Graduate student political science column lacked reason Bork Editor: I was somewhat dismayed in reading Kent Anderson's editorial in the Sept. 28 Chronicle. As a law student, I have followed the debate over Judge Bork's confirmation with a great deal of interest. I have come to my own decision on Bork's confirmation based on reasoned arguments and a distinct philosophy. is 0A to push yet another aging, inappropriate Utah tradition into perspective. The issue of the Native American mascot has already been addressed with aggressive debate at dozens of schools across the country in the last 20 years. Therefore, the issue itself is not a new one at least outside of Utah. The attitudes and arguments pertaining to the exploitation and misrepresentation of the Native 20th-centu- American citizens holding rights that are not as vigorously protected as others is not a new idea. In the past 25 years, the Supreme Court has used a two-ti- er approach to equal protection issues, using different levels of scrutiny to review discriminatory legislation. Mr. Anderson's soapbox speech about the Bill of Rights and the intent of the Founding Fathers is somewhat naive; it should be remembered the framers of the Constitution did not think it necessary to include a bill of rights in the original text (note they are amendments to the original text), and only promised to include them when several states refused to support the Constitution without a bill of rights. Finally, Mr. Anderson chides Bork for changing his mind over the past 20 years on various issues. I would find it alarming if he was incapable of changing his mind! American as an institutional symbol, regardless of its original intent, have been thoroughly explored on college campuses I would hope that before the conservative die-har- hffltel mm it L. This should assist in avoiding the meaningless diatribe that so often plagues the editorial pages of this paper, and accelerate the selection of a new mascot appropriate to the ideals and ideologies of the late 20th century.
