Humber's residence has some gender issues. The washrcx)ms on female Letters to the editors floors are being used by males too, and some women are upset. The problem

with the R building is there's only one washroom per floor. A male visitor on

a female lloor was previously forced to go to an all-male or co-ed floor to

relieve himself Now, he can just walk into the girl's washroom and do his business.

While this is great for him, what about the girls?

After signing up for an all-girl floor, should they not get an all-girl washroom too?

Well, there are solutions to the problem. Even if only one person on the floor feels uncomfortable with the washroom situation, the Residence Assistant must amend the policy. However, there are people who don't see the problem. They say sharing

the washroom and shower facilities doesn't totally invade their privacy.

After all, we're not kids, and should be mature about something like this.

Unfortunately, maturity has nothing to do with it. There are certain students whose religious beliefs interfere with them sharing a washroom and shower stalls with members of the opposite sex. They shouldn't have

10 either. It's an infringement on their way of life, and they shouldn't

have to conform. This is both ridiculous and unfair.

So what if you have to go to another floor to do your stuff? It's not like

you won't be able to hold it until then. The walk certainly won't kill you either

The fact that there are co-ed washrooms in the R building is a testa-

ment to the laziness of students. And no matter how lazy you are, it does- n't warrant making others feel uncomfortable.
