An 1ssue argued for the rest -of human existence
The issue 11: abortion. Is one that will be argued for the resi of human existence. I don't feel
that anyone bas the right to tell someone else how t(l live their lHe. That goes for pro-lHers forcing their views on women who are considering abortion. We are all entitled to our opinion bat
sometimes it's better kept to onrselves.
The decision to go throagb with an abortion is not an easy one for any woman. I know that it
may be hard to believe bat it's true. Yes, it may be a selfish act, a mdrons act, or some kind
of torture In the eyes of many - bat let's look at it throagb the eyes of someone who's been
there.
Sore, there are the fan times before you get pregnant. Sex is great. Who can deny that? And
yes, if we're old enough to have sex, we sbonld be old enoagb to be responsible about it. Well
what about the times we ~ responsible and it backfires right In our faces?
·
Okay floe, yon have your tan and a few weeks or a couple of months later yon discover you're
pregnant. Now what do yon do as a sophomore In college, raised by 100% fall fledged Catholic
parents lind a whole lHe ahead of yon? The first and only thing I considered was abortion. Yes
now, there are those of yon who are saying - "Sore be seUish and don't think of the DDbom
child. Hey come on- don't give me that crap! Don't yon think I have?! Don't yon think -1 gave a
lot of time and hard thoagbt about MY baby? (MY baby, not YOURS). What kind of lHe wonld
the child have if I did go throagb with the pregnancy! Sore, the father and I conld have gotten
married, gotten jobs as a waitress or a bag boy at a local grocery store and raised a child the
way it deserves to be raised? No chance! Yes, I messed up- rm a child having _a child and it
jus~ doesn't work.
So the only option the father and I see is abortion~ What about adoption yon ask? No, I don't
want my child hating me when be's 20 years old becanse I gave him up. I don't want him to feel
he was not loved so he was given to someone who wonld love him. That's not for me. I do and
always will love him. Maybe that's hypocritical because of what I did and maybe no~. So like I
said, my only option was abortion.
Going throagb that was the worst time In my lHe. It caused physical, financial and emotional
strain on my boyfriend and myseU. Physically it was painfnl. It's not fan having needles put
Into your stomach so yon won't feel pain later. It's not fan vomiting afterwards, it's not fan havingDody ~ches for two weeks after it's over.
.
Financially, it's not easy coming np with $720 for the procedure, plus driving to Madison and
back.
Worst of all, emotionally it drives me crazy every day. Don't yo~ tell me it's an easy, selfish
act. I think of my baby every single day of my lHe. I wonder if I wonld have had a boy or a
· girl, I will never know. I wonder what it wonld look like, what it might have become. Don't tell
me it's easy. I live .tbet .terrible experience every day. Of coarse, I know I'm not the only one
·I who bas been there. I am sympathetic with each 8lld every one of yon women ( maybe girls)
f who have. The only ones I don't feel sorry for are the ones-who didn't learn the first time - Lord
knows I did.

Is This For Real?
By Jessica Hochschlld
Is this for real? I cannot believe the way the student senate
is behaving! I am not a member of the student senate, just a
bystander, but I a appanled at
the manner in which they are
acting!
These senators, who are supposed to be making important
decisions for our campus, spend
their meetings fighting. Just
what are they fighting about?
They are fighting about senseless, irrational, and impractical
things, instead of focusing on
the issues as hand.
when I voted for these senators last year, I voted for them
because I thought they could do
a good job. Unfortunately, my
opinion of this is quickly changing. I voted for you.guys to do a
job-and you're not doing it!
Perhaps you cannot get along
with each other.
H that is the case. take it out
of senate! You guys are responsible for a great deal of the decisions mad~ on this campus.
These decisions affect me and
everyone else! So get your act
· together guys, because we are
sick and tired of you childlike
behaVior!

A Frustrated Student
In response to Kyle White's
anti-abortion article, (printed in
the November 17th issue) I
wonld like to raise a -number of
counter arguments to the articles rather emotionally based
ideas.
First of all, the analogy
where the abortion procedure is
. equated as Nazi torture is rather misleading. It suggests that
the procedure is designed to inmet sever pain on the "unborn"
(An entity that cannot experience the sensation of pain).
This is rather fallicious since
the idea is to eliminate the embryo not to maim it
Moving on, it was stated that
about 25,000,000 abortions were
performed in the last 15 years
in the United States. I do not
know whether the figure is correct ( I've no reason to doubt
it) but that is inconsequential.
The point is that this means
there are not that many more
people in the world mating and
synergetically adding to ~e
already over-crowded human
population of 5,000,000,000 persons. As Robert McNamara has
stated, "Short of thermonuclear
war itself, rampant population
growth is the gravest issue the
world faces over the decades
immediately ahead."
As far as· the embryo being
human-not yet. At this stage
the embryo is merely an extension of the female. In fact, it is
taking nourishment from the female and is somewhat foreign
tissue. It could almost be described as parasitic. Also the
"blob of tissue" is not seUmaintaining nor does it possess
a consciousness-two prerequisites for being a free-living hu-
m:·
for justifiable reasons?
The over-population idea was
already .stated. Here's some
more: As far as welfare receiving families, the ~re children
they have the greater the costA
for the government and conse- W
quently the greater cost for you
and me, the people. In short
they become economical burdens to families and society.
Another reason is that unwanted children can and often do become psychological burdens to
their parents with various resuits: child negligence, sexual
and physical abuse, and verbal
abuse. Other reasons include '
rape and, in some cases, the
endangerment of the mother's
own existence.
Speaking of potentials, what
about potential ' murderers, terrorists, drug addicts, cler· gymen, and dictators? Certainly
not ideal citizens. However,
such petty and idle ~usings on
what could have been are
meaningless wastes of energy.
Out of curiosity, where is the
connection between the whales
in Alaska and the abortion
issue? As far as that goes I
tend to think that those particu1ar whales are more valuable
than any average person picked
randomly off the street. Those
whales were symbolic of what
is hopefnlly a trend towards a
better ecological awareness and
conservation view.
·
As a closing statement in reference to the comment about
"taking political steps when
people are victimized by Apartheid," is the writer of the article suggesting ' that we support
Apartheid, kill the whales, and
make abortion illegal?

COFAC Gets Cheated?
. I often hear complaints from
the students and faculty of the
College of Fine Arts and Communication {COFAC) that their
college gets cheated when it
comes to getting funding
through Student Government segregated fees. In r~ty COFAC
related organizations receive
r.nore moQey than organdzations
with affiliation to the other
three colleges coiDbined. This
year over $150,000 or 40 percent
of the total funds that were allocated to student organdzations
went to the following COFAC
related organdzatons: Performing Arts, WWSP, SETV, Players, Pointer, SAC- Music and
Mid-Americans. COFAC has the
fewest nur.nber of students, but
is perhaps the most active college on car.npuS. I commend the
students and faculty of COFAC
for the excellent entertainment ·
and education they bring to this
campus! In the future as enrollment declines and dollars becor.ne tighter student government will do it's best to continue to fund these important
activities. I only hope that those
r.nembers of the COFAC realize
that they have not been
cheated.

New ·chancellor
to -_p e Appointed in Decemb.e r
.,I
A new chancellor for UWSP
may be appointed in December.
Eugene Johnson, chair of the
search and screen committee
for UWSP's 11th chief executlve, said his.. group will wrap
up its deliberations Friday and
recommend five finalists to UW
System President Kenneth
Shaw.
The committee will convene
at noon "and we won't come
out until ·we can send up white
smoke," he announced.
Johnson conferred with Shaw
recently and was told that if the
finalists could be identified by .
Friday, then he and the UW
Board of Regents committee
would act with haste on the recommendations.
The earliest date for an
announcement will probably be
Dec. 9, when the regents hold
· their ne~ monthly meeting.
That, of course, does not mean
..the new chancellor will be
available to take over the job
soon thereafter. It has been
generally believed that when
Philip Marshall leaves the office in early January, an acting
chancellor will be named to
serve part or all of the spring
semester.
The search and screen committee was appointed last
spring and has been meeting
regularly since to pro_cess about
115 nominations and applications. The 15-member group
made two recent trips to Minneapolis, where 14 candidates
were interviewed. In sessions
since then, the field has been
narrowed to seven, Johnson reported.
·The candidates have not
made official visits to the cam-.
pus, but some reportedly have
been here unescorted;
Johnson raved about the quality of the finalists. He also had
high praise for members of his
committee, noting that he was
"pleased by the way they came
together and took their work so
seriously."

Krebs Cited as Associate
of the Year
The Wisconsin Association of
Physical Plant Adminnistrators
has given its "Associate of the
Year Award" to Hiram Krebs
of Stevens Point.
·
It cited him for "an outstanding professional career as a
physical plant administrator"
and for "excellent contributions
to the physical plant profession
and his meritorious service to
the association."
Krebs has spent the past 18
years in the physical plant
administration of the University
of Wisconsin-stevens Point, and
before that was director of public works for the city of Stevens
Point and operator of his own
·engineering consulting firm. He
currently holds the title of
university engineer.
He was cited at a recent association meeting at Treehaven,
UW-8P's new natural resources
field station near Tomahawk.
He guided both planning and
construction of the buildings
there and is currently involved
in the start-up work for additions to the classroom building
and main lodge.
Krebs had a role in the construction of many of the buildings that now · comprise the
main UW-8P campus and in the
remodeling of most of the other
structures that were put up before he became affiliated with
the institution.

ess has been expensive at a
time when the university budget
is tighter than ever. Beyond the
cost of providing transportation
for candidates, there was an
additional expense of the entire
committee traveling to Minneapolis and .spending several
nights there. That was recommended as a means of provid- ·
ing confidentiality for the finalists. Proceeds from the soft
drink vending machines were
used to cover most of the costs,
Johnsor:t was told.

Also at the association meeting, Joseph Mason, a senior

We hear it all the tiine, "I'm
under a lot of stress!" But what
is the origin of this stress? And
what will be the results? The
Bible can give us some helpful
answers.
Jesus said, "Be on guard,
that your heart may not be
weighted down with...the worries of life" (Luke 21:34). Now
the human heart involves the
mind and emotions as well as
the physical being. And Jesus
knew that we could put all sorts
of stress on our IIlin<k and emotions and bodies! And ."'e can
do it with worry or. atlA!~ty!
Worry about tomorrow! Wonv
over children! Anxiety about
bills! Worry, worry, worry!
This is self-inflicted stress. And
it is sin! Listen again to Jesus
"Do not be anxious for tomor:
row; for tomorrow will take
care_of itself" (Matthew 6:34).
And why does Jesus exhort us
to aviod this self imposed
stress? Simple! It can break .
us!
But we human beings are
skilled at imposing stress upon
ourselves. For example, God
gave us twenty-four hom: days!
And we regularly try to stuff
more into a day than the hoJJrs
permit. Then wont ourselves
sick over the work that has not
been done. We need to recognize this self imposed stress.
We need to learn to back off.
We need to learn to say, "No!"

The UWSP Science Building,
constructed in 1963 and enlarged by two subsequent additions, has three lecture halls.
The on~ for Trytten is in the
original section of the structure,
seats about 110 people and is
particularly familiar to the
professor because he taught
many classes there. The other
two were dedicated to Gilbert
Faust, a retired chemistry
professor and registrar, and the
late Monica Bainter, a physics
professor and longtime chair of
her department.

Bike-Aid '89 To Raise Awareness a~d Funds For ~lobal Hunger
This coming summer, the
Overseas Development Network
(ODN) will be sponsoring its
fourth a~nual cross-country
. hunger~ awareness bik~a-thon,
Bik~Aid '89, to raise awareness
and funds for self-help development projects ' overseas and in
the U.S.
In the past three years, 287 ·
cyclists have crossed the country with Nik~Aid, raising public awareness of the problems
of world hunger and poverty, as
well as a cumulative total of
$390,000. This past summer, 48
cyclists with- Bik~Aid '88 completed the 3,600 mile journey
when they arrived in Washington D.C. on August 18.
For 1989, ODN seeks individuals who are concerned with the
various issues ' connected to
world hunger and poverty and
who are willing to discuss them
with the US public. Aside from
raising a projected total of
$300,000, participants are
expected to be involved in various events and presentati()ns
across the country, to bring
attention to the plight of the
poor and hungry at home and
around the world, and to
encourage and provide opportunities for public action toward
solving these problems.
Bik~Aid ·•as will begin in midJune from four West coast cities-Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. A shorter ride will originate from
Austin, Texas beginning in midJuly. The ride will be completed
in mid-August when cyclists
from the five routes converge in
Washington D.C.
People of all ages and back-
grounds are encouraged to apply. Closing date for the application is February 15, 1989. All
interested should apply imm~
diately. It is very important
that the necessary preparations
for the ride begin as soon as
possible. For more information,

At least 20 UWSP students
are waiting for Student Government's approval on the constitution of a new organization
Alliance for a Sustainable Earth
(ASE). Approval, which . is
expected by December, will not
only give the group official recognition by the University, but
also access to SGA funding.
-
The group was formed for
reasons other than resume padding. ASE secretary Mary
Kneebone explains; I'd like to
affect c~ge because I think it
involves our future ...I think it's
time for people to take action,
and I'd like to be a part of that.
ASE's goals are stated in the
proposed cmstitution: to p~
mote understanding of global
environmental issues, (to p~
mote) positive ways to effect
change, and to provide information on these issues to the community at large.
ASE plans to accomplish
tQese aims by action and community involvement. Possibilities include sponsoring guest
speakers, providing literature
for consumers, starting a
Christmas tree recycling p~
. gram, and becoming a political
watchdog group . .Other surprises may be planned as well.
ASE membership is open to
all pei'S9ns, not only university
students; the community is
encouraged to .attend ASE meetings. Board meetings are held
weekly, and the group will officially become active in January. For more information, interested persons may contact
ASE's faculty advisor, Dr. Hans
Schnabel, at 346-4230.

Imagine yourself walking
around campus wearing a blindfold that you can't remove. This
is how Ginger Torine describes
being blind. The 19-year-old
freshmen from Janesville and
her dog, Rhonda, are new tO
UWSP this fall. Ginger is a
Home Economics Educations
major. In her spare time, she
loves to participate in all sorts
of crafts.
The middle child in a family
of three, her blindness is the result of an accident which
occurred at the age of five. Instead of becoming bitter at this
twist of fate, Ginger has fought
to fit into the mainstream. She
credits most of her success to
her mother, who refused to
pamper her. Her mother made
her learn to do things for herself. Ginger believes that something good comes from everything and that her blindness has
made her a better person. This
is readily observable, as she is
a friendly, outgoing person.
After the accident, she started
attending a school for the blind
in Janesville. By the time she
had reached high school, she
was also taking classes at
Janesville Parker. An accomplished swimmer, at one time
she was rated number one in
the U.S. for persons that are totally blind. By her senior year,
she was going to Parker fulltime, and had acquired her seeing-eye dog, Rhonda. In June of
'88, both her and Rhonda graduated, as her yearbook shows.

I ~mce read (or was told-my
memory is not the most dependable of instruments) that a writer must always write. The writer, about anything he or she
can think of, should write about
whatever/ is currently occupying
their mind. And, if the evil demon known as Writer's Block
attacks, the writer should write
about that.
I have thought about that
piece o{ advice quite a bit over
the past couple of hours, as I
stared at a blank piece of paper. I considered writing a review of the new album by
R.E.M., which is entitled
Green. But I realized that I
wouldn't wind up writing a review. I would wind up asking a
lot of confused questions instead
(What is the significance of the
number four superimposed on
the letter R in the band's name
and the letter R in the album title on the cover of the album?
Why does the band use Air and
Metal to designate the sides
rather than Side 1 and Side 2?)
And, of course, who really gives
a damn about. my opinion anyway?
·
I also considered writing
about the things that I was
thankful for this Thanksgiving.
It's always easy to write a seasonal column. But, I couldn't
really find a whole lot to be
thankful about this year. And,
again, who really gives a damn.
Then I considered jumping on
the JFK bandwagon and writing
an article remembering the late
President Kennedy. But I decided tliat a JFK column
wouldn't be too appropriate considering I wasn't born early
enough to have any memories
of the man. Besides, if you're
interested in reading a remembrance of Jack Kennedy, you
shouldn't have an extremely difficult time tracking one down.
Then there's the article that's
just begging to be written about
the incredible abundance of
telephone numbers that begin
/
with the digits 1-900. After all,
how crucial is it that we have
MTV In Your Ear or Freakphone? But I understand that
there will som be a 900 number
which YOU I Can Call . tO hear .
someone explain why 900 numbers are a terribll!, mind- warping, milt-curdling blemish on
the face of America. So I'll let
you all sperid two dollars for
the first minute and forty-five
cents for each additional minute
to catch that guy's opinion. '
And let's not forget the column on exotic dancers at UWSP
that would certainly be topical
and insightful. And if I could
have thought of a way to write
about exotic dancers without
copying the transcript ..from the
lateSt episode of Do~ue that
featured the Chip~ndale dancers, I just might ' have done
that.
Or else I could jtbt; admit that
I had ~othing to write about this
week that I could stretch into
an entire column. Nali, that
would have been too easy.

measuring something as being
pornographic. Instead, pornography has only connotative values. The best connotative value
of pornography, is "that disgusts me."
Mainly because of this subjective viewpoint, there are no
laws concerning porn as a
whole. Also, while a large body
of viewers may see a XXXrated movie, and all be disgusted, it is not at all apparent that
such a movie should be censored. Nowhere · , the Constitution are there n:~ ,rences to cen-

The isSue is not whether a

being banned, but ·rather, the
issue is how do we handle ideas

let each person make their own

dog is working to protect its

Who's .No. 1 1n College
Fo-otball
Opponents of a college football playoff format argue that
this would take away from the
tradition of the bowl games. I
believe my playoff format
would enhance the bowl games,
without taking away any of the
pageantry or parades associated with the current bowl
games. This would be done by
having the top ~ight teams, determined by the A.P. in a playoff system similiar to the professional football leagues playoffs.
College football needs a playoff format to determine, without
a doubt, who is No. 1. All o~er
major sports across America
have a playoff system to dete~­
mine which team is the best m
their sport.
'
As cited in USA Today, "col- lege football - has their N<!. 1
team determined by sportswriters and coaches who have their
own favorite teams and may
not have seen all the potential
No. 1 teams· play." I strongly
·agree with this statement and
believe it should be teams, players and coaches who determine
on the playing field who is No.
, 1, not biased sportswriters and
coaches.
_ . ,
College football fanatic s .
mouths start to water about this
time of year because there will
be 17 bowl games played across ,
the U.S. within a three week period involving 34 teams. Of
these 17 bowl games six or seven of them ~ contain ~ 10
teams.Jhat will ~ ranked ~ the

final top 10.
I would have the teams
paired with the No. 1 ranked
team playing the No. 8 ranked
team and the No. 2 ranked
against the No. 7 ranked and so
forth. The quarterfinals, semifinals and championship game
would all be played in a neutral
bowl game cite. Currently some
teams play in a bowl game
which during the regular season
is their home field thus giving
them a fan support advantage
over their opponent. Because
the final top 10 ranked teams
are usually determined by their
play in the oldest six or seven
bowl gam~. these major bowls
would be used for the plc ~off!'
and the remaining bowls could
Hockey still undefeated
The Pointer Hockey team improved their record to 9·0
overaU and ~ in the NCHA
with their incredible two game
sweep at Bemidji State University last weekend.
Bemidji has an impressive
hockey history with nine national championships under their
belt and was defeated by a
team a few years ago which
would have considered a 500
season acceptable.
The Pointers outshot Bemidji
41-16 and 42-20, resulting in the
· entire Pointer defensive unit receiving the "Player-of-theWeek" award. The Pointen defensive unit had an outstanding
weekend 8nd allowed just 36
shots on goal in two games
while UWSP swept Bemidji,
which no team has been able to
accomplish since the formation
of the NCHA in 1981. Those six
defensemen are Monte Conrad,
This 1 format also gives teams
who may have only one or two
defeats a cha'nce to win the national championship. It would
also eliminate the chance of a
team that is not that good of
winning the national champio·
naship.
Some people believe a playoff
format would cut into the class
· time for the players and in.crease the pressure on them to
win. I rebuke this mode of
thought because the season
would only be extended by one
or two football games for only a
couple teams and the playoffs
would take place during the
Christmas break for these
a~etes, athletes who would be
practicing anyway if their team
was involved in one of the current bowl games. I believe the
pressure is not a factor because
for the athletes even to have
made the team and be on a
team with a chance for a natiol'!~l championship they would
have proven they are capable of
handling pressure.
'
Americans
are obsessed with
·,1·anting to know who is the best
in a particular sport. Not only
speciators but athletes also
want to know which individual
or team is the best in the country. In college football a truly
legitimate champion is not
always crowned. A playoff for- ·

to criticism of the fire's management by saying there would
be "another, longer day of

mentioned the need for fires in
much of America's native ecosystems as a way of rejuvenation. He quoted zoologist John

Reflections On

With winter here, it is time to
look back and reflect on the
effects of the 1988 drought, not
just here in the United States,
but throughout the world.
The United States Department
of Agriculture has ·estimated the
total effect of the '88 drought,
which has forced many American farmers into financial difficulty. According ~o the USDA,
approximately one- third of the
American corn c:pP was lost to
the hot, dry weatner, while the
wheat harvest was the lowest in

As a
res~,
the world's surplus of food supplies will have
to be invaded to feed the starving people. Two years ago, the
surplus of corn and grain in the
world approached 460 million
metric tons. By the end of 1987,
that .surplus had dropped
almost to the_400 million mark.
Besides the drought, there are
twQ · other factors which have
added to the decline in the food
surpluses. First, there has been
an increase lin the amount of
meat consumed in third world.
While this leads tO a drop in the
direct conswnption of wheat, it
is actually an increase in grain
consumption as the production
of meat is ~ inefficient source
of food in relation to the grain
used to feed the animal.
Another reason for the drop in
food resources is the continued
poptilation growth . throughout
the world. Last year, global
population increased by approximately 90 million people and
now stands at over 5.1 billion
people. At the current growth
rate, population will surpass six
billion by the year 2000 and 10
billion by the end of the third ·
decade of the 21st century.

Women's Resource Ge~ter
By Paula Kramer
........------------.JI'-....,_;.).
~:...
Have you ever noticed how
often men have tried to tell us
what our "nature" as women
should be? Here are a few examples:
" .. .it seems to me that God
adapted women's nature to indoor and man's to outdoor
work... As Nature has entrusted
woman with guarding the
household supplies, and a timid
nature is no disadvantage in
such a job, it has endowed
woman with more fear than
man .. .If anyone goes against
the nature given him by God
and leaves his appointed
post ... he will be punished ..."
(Xenophon, The Economist)
" ...females are weaker and
colder by nature; and we should
look upon the female state as
being as it were a defonnity,
though one- which occurs in the
ordinary course of nature." (Arieration of Animals)
"As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and
misbegotten, for the active
force in the male seed tends to
the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex;
while- the production of WOWflll
comes from a defect in the
active force or from some material indisposition, or even
from some external influence ...On the other hand, as
regards human nature in general, woman is misbegotten, but
is included in nature's intention
as directed to the work of generation." (Aquinas, Summa
Theologica)
" ...But the natural reason is
that she is more carnal than a
man, as is clear from her many
carnal abominations ...All witchcraft comes from carnal lust,
which is in women insatiable."
· (H. Kramer and J. Sprenger,
Malleus Maleficarum)
" ... men have larger heads
and therefore have more brains
and sense than women. The
poets expressed this metaphoricany when they said that Pallas
Athena, goddess of wisdom, was
born from the bram . of Jupiter
and had no motber: they meant
to show that wisdom never
comes from women, whose nature is nearer to that of brute
beasts." (J. Bodin, De 1a demoilomanie des sorciers)
" ...for as to works of genius, '
they are beyond their capacity;
neither have they sufficient precision or power of attention to
succeed in sciences which require accuracy; and as to physical knowledge, it belongs to
those only who are most active,
most inquisitive, ~who comprehend the greatest variety of
objects; in short, l~t belongs ,to
those who have the strongest
powers, and who exercise them
most, to judge the relations between sensible beings and the
laws of nature ... Women have
most wit, men have most genius; women observe, men reason." (Rousseau, EmUius)
" ... The female is naturally
prone to be religious. Hers is a
pious mind. Her confiding nature leads her Iilore readily
than men to accept the proffered grace of the Gospel...Women possess a peculiar
trait-modesty' which is one of
the most ·charming of their attributes; springing probably
from their natural timidity and
sense of dependence, of which it
is the ideal in expression. All •
rude, boisterous, and immodest -·
speech or action unsexes and
disgraces woman." (C. Meigs,
Woman: Her Diseases and Remedies)
If any of the above traits
were inherent in our nature, no
one would have to tell us or
force us to behave in ways appropriate to those , traits-we
would behave that way on our
own. Women's history has proven that such definitions of weimen's nature are untenable and
res.trictive. What is in our nature as women is anything we
do, whether it be outdoor work,
or devoting ourselves to a career rather than children, or
scientific research, or staying
single, or getting married and
staying home with Qur children,
or anything else that expresses
our talents and choices.
The Women's ,Resource Cen·
ter plans to celebrate our true
nature as women by sponsoring
and co-sponsoring programs
that recognize our wide range
of interests and talents. On December 3rd at 2:00, the WRC
(with the GPU) presents a talk
by Woodswoman in the Communications Room of the UC. And
on Thursday, December 8th the
WRC presents Can't Lie Low, a

suggest that these boys are obnoxious and immature, in addition to being slimy republican
bile. It would be extremely
unfare of me to make these
accusations, since I do not
actually know any of these
young men.
In no way do . I support the
opinion that anyone who coli:lones a woman's decision to
•ave an abortion is the equal of
auolf Hitler. and/or Charles
Manson•
Finally, I will not suggest that
anyone who did not vote for
George Bush is a democraticliberal-communist-homosexual.
And now, on to my heartfelt _ A
opinions:
'
~
Opinion 1) Life's/ a beach,
and then you dive.
Opinion 2) Always keep a
copy of your diary in a ~ety
deposit box, so that when you
are reincarnated, in case you
can't remember an the details
of your current life, you can go
to the safety deposit box, recover your diary and get a job with
the National Enquirer writing
about your past life.
Opinion 3) God does in fact
exiSt. Last Sunday night, while
watching ESPN Sunday Night
Football, I was witness to Lawrence Taylor of the New York
Giants praying for one of his
teammates. He was apparently
asking God to assist his teammate in IDcking a football between the goal posts at one end
of the field. The kicker made
the field goal and the Giants ·
won - the game, therefore God
exists.
Opinion 4) Does Geraldo
stink, or what? J
Opinion 5) The current practice of allowing profe!lsional
hockey players to fight until
they fall to the ice should be
ammended. -Every fight should,
in my opinion, be a fight to the
death. Not only would this be a
treat for the spectators, but the
length of each game would be
extended, thus allowing for
more commercials during the
television broadcasts; and, as
we all know, without commercials, where would America be
today?
Opinion 6) Yes, television is
more addictive than nicotene.
The shows highest in tar and nicotene include 1.) Days... , 2:)
All my kids and :J.) The NFL on
CBS.
I
.
Opinion- 7) AIDS' from a toilet seat? Get serious! Thought
for the week: as you sit and
gaze at your television, ho~ d
you know that there is not
someone watching you?
