Show LETTERS A s s Bodies are not toy~ The letter to the editor "Free Condoms on Campus Supported b y Student " is offensive in several regards. Mr . Bennett , first yo u proudly pro claim your sexua! activity. Does it occur to you that yo ur life d oes n ot represent th e n o rm for this area? Are you aware that you have proudly announced that you use women as objects for your personal entertainment, taking privi lege without giving commitment? Perhaps they are willing , or say they are . But ho nestly. w hat do you think they are seeking w he n they let you penetrate their bodies? Do you believe you are so good that th ey simp ly surrender their natural desire to form a permanent relationship? I wi ll te ll you. They d o it to please you in the des perate hope that it w ill hind you to them. Bodies are not toys. They cannot he played with without consequences. You will fee l those consequences one d ay. You may not recognize them immediately. You state your resp ect fo r those who abstain o ut of deference to their "religion." You assume tha t no o n e c hoo ses abstinence o ut of simple perso nal hon o r , o r perhaps because they realize that sex ual e ntanglements o utside of the bond of marriage puts all involved at risk. You call into question the value of the "piece of paper" that represents legal marriage. Trying to conduct a permanent romantic re lationship without marriage is like trying to take a · showe r without stepping in the sta ll. It ca n ' t he d o n e properly without getting in . At your age you no doubt feel very s ure of your knowledge. Having no experience to draw on , why shouldn't you? . Ray Dunbar Manzanita residents disagree with documentation policy We , the residents of F5 in Manz.anita Court, are appalled by the "write-up," or documentation poHcy adopted by the Resident Hall Association. We refer to the Janelle Phillips article (Journal, Nov. 23) about the nature of the policy. One: we have never heard of, or reccived a "positive doa.nnentation," ~ ifwe ac.tuaily deserve one. Two: Blatant male-bashing is evident among female RAs in Manzanita Court. Residents of all sexes can confirm this. Three: A "write-up" is a biased accusation used to undermine male residents and force their eviction. Four : Sh a ron Blake ' s statement that " (A negative w rite-up is] really not that big of a deal, and we don 't really write that many of them," is abs urd . They w rite up many negative d ocume ntations. F5 alo ne has over a dozen. With each negative doc umentation , RAs claim a tenant is one step closer to eviction. Five : RAs rare ly have convincing evidence to prove a violation has taken place. We , the res ide nts of F5 , d o n ' t e ntirely object to the current documentation policy. We only ask that such a policy he fa ir and just. Wild accusations and blatant male-bashing is evident in the enfo rcement of the policy and impedes its fairness. This is totaJly unacceptable .
