Originally we planned on running an article by Jen Dare that dealt with the sexual politics of bondage and domination. The executive board pulled Dare's article because its nature was deemed offensive and graphic. The opinion editors disagree with this decision. It is our belief that the "offensive and graphic" content was: first, not offensive nor graphic, second, the content judged as such is essential to the larger issues with which the article deals. A college newspaper should be the forum for issues that many of us might find disconcerting. Its content should not be limited to the safe and least controversial issues. A college newspaper needs to challenge the status quo. If only to force the status quo to defend its accepted, static place in society. First, if you pick up Trinity's Bulletin, you will see that our It is our hope that our statement will initiate a dialogue on issues that some of us may have trouble "paramount purpose is to foster critical thinking" and to "free dealing with. If nothing else comes of this, we have succeeded. the mind of parochialism and prejudice." We also aim to chal- Sincerely, lenge people "to the limits of their abilities" and begin a "life- Ian Lang Opinion Editor long process of disciplined learning and discovery." At Trinity James Griffith Opinion Editor people learn and study economics, chemistry, and dance, but more important than the ins and outs of any particular disci- pline is learning to think critically, learning to question appro- priately, and learning to gather information to make informed judgment and act wisely. Because acting in these ways runs counter to our natural tendencies, the process of learning is life- long, and we should, in all settings, find ways to practice and model this ideal. . Second, we can never hope to be free from parochialism and prejudice if we succumb to cognitive miserliness. One of the unfortunate outcomes of lazy thinking is reliance upon stereo- types and "surface information" to make judgments about people. We try to predict someone's behavior and whether we'd like them as friends by easily accessible cues — such as their skin color, their membership in a particular group, an opinion voiced or a question asked — instead of investigating what they are really like. We separate people into easily recognizable cat- egories — students vs. faculty, faculty vs. administration, ath- letes vs. nonathletes—unless we remind ourselves to see people in all their complexity. Third, we area community and we need to work together,play together, promote our common goals, and pursue the well-be- ing of all community members and this institution. We can't accomplish much as community members when we don't de- liberate, when we don't try hard to understand various positions, and when we don't seek commonality. We can't make good de- cisions when people fear or just don't want to bother raising al- ternative viewpoints. Next time you find yourself in a conversation, and you or oth- ers begin to make assertions-that aren't questioned, be cautious about whether you are slipping into miserly cognition. If you hear someone make generalizations about blacks vs. whites or about tree-lovers vs. raging pavers, cal 1 a halt!
