The positivist inside tells us the validity of Peterson's test rests on do something even a little bit out service. him obtaining a good sample size. For the sake of good research and good scientific representation, we hope many students will fill out the surveys. For the sake of democracy, free speech and future generations of Boise State University students, we hope every student fills out the sur- vey. We do after all, need some representation. It remains difficult to find representation at student fee increase hear- ings when the student body at large remains largely absent. Perhaps we all too busy being poor to attend fee increase hearings, but if this is the reality, it must be represented. We find difficulty in finding representation at student body elections when students do not vote. We, like former ASBSU Senator Kara Janey find representation in committees equally absent. Janey notes, 'The (administration) can vali- date their decisions because they say 'Well, a student representative sat on the committee.' Sure that sounds nice, but what is behind it? Nothing." Boise State President Charles Ruch has validated this truth claim by vetoing parking committee recommendations last fall. We are desperate for representation and embrace any means to achieve this. We commend Peterson in his attempt to accurately repre- sent student reality through his survey and we are confident he will use the results to advance the influence of students. However, we know Peterson's survey will mean nothing if students do not respond. . We hope students also see Peterson's effort as a means of representa- tion.

I know lots of men who believe that women deserve the same respect and consideration they do. But don't get me wrong; feminists don't want to pick out curtains with abusers and rapists, regardless of their sex or preferences. There's work for all of us to do, but I'm leaving my bra on today. Feminists are generally less interested in their neighbor's firestarter than in helping everybody feel safe, whether they've forgotten who gave them a leg up or not. So, by all means, get married (or not), have children (or not), work (or not), but please DO ask people why feminism isa "disease."
