Show The Thunder&ird Letters I would like to comment on an article written in the November 14 edition of the school paper, A womans worth is still judged by looks. I suppose there will always be unfair judgments based on sex, but then I dont imagine the world will ever be wanting for fanatics on a crusade to right imaginary wrongs. I do not agree that the SUSC homecoming pageant was either exploitative of women or a statement that physical appearance is most important in the value of a woman. Miss SUSC is a contest to find the most worthwhile beneficial representative and of our school. She is to host certain events and act as ambassador. Certainly the best candidate would be one who, in addition to being a 19 representative intelligent, of her is sex, congenial and talented. Certainly beauty is a desirable attribute in a woman, just as being well groomed and physically fit is an asset in a man, but it isnt all important. The Miss SUSC contest was not a beauty contest, as evidenced by the fact that there were three very attractive young ladies who didnt even make it past the preliminaries. The ignorant statement, ...the SUSC Queen Pageant uses the same foundation that Hustler and Penthouse make their profits Convocation crowd cited To the editor: The convocation speakers who have been visiting SUSC are being treated to relatively large late audiences. Unfortunately, arrivals by those who havent learned the correct time and early departures by those who have short attention spans create disruptions which are irritating to the rest of the audience. Even worse, surely the speakers are distracted. It isnt reasonable to expect entertaining and engaging speakers imparting great ideas with each breath. The audience has to pay attention and grasp the messages being delivered. If you think you will have to leave early, please sit in the balcony to minimize the distraction. Better yet, stay and listen. Some of the most interesting ideas are exchanged during the question and answer period at the end of the address. apparel nopth main CedAR City, ridiculous.

Would a contest meant to exploit women do that? I am in favor of the pageant and I hope it continues. If I want cheap thrills, Ill go to a dance bar. I think men and women should be treated with fairness and equality; but they are not equal, they are different. Men are men, and women are women. Each has something unique and different to offer the other, and society. & maveRick BRaxton pin Stnipe tRaffic Blue tRaffic many otheR new aRRivals go-g- o MON-TUE- S CL 55 Present thiscoupon to rent I .UU O) o Don Sunderland a Each Night Kingsford says thanks Good at 570 South Main, Cedar City (Albertsons Shopping Center) To the editor: I would opportunity students, COLOR COUNTRY BEAUTY SUPPLY to take the to thank all the like faculty and staff members for their kind words and letters in connection with my association with the University of Montana.
