LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL CARTOON Rights of the sidevvalk I am the Rosa Parks of the Notre Dame sidewalks. As I was walking to class the other day, I saw a female student walking my way. A few moments later, we collided. This collision was by no means inevitable; either one of us could have moved out of the other's way. Nervously, she apologized for the accident. I didn't. I'm not sorry it hap pened. More importantly, I'm not sorry that I didn't move to let her pass. After all, she was the one walking on the left-hand side. She was the one not paying attention. I was the one diligently watching her approach, anxiously waiting for the perfect moment to lower my shoulder. Why should I move out of her way? Because she is a woman? Nay, I will not yield my right to walk on the right. Not to any man or woman, pedestrian or cyclist. I will hold my course, barreling on toward freedom and knocking down all who stand in my way. So the next time you see me coming toward you as you walk down the left side of the sidewalk, stop to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do you. Notre Dame? Dan Mcinnis senior Sarin College Oct. 4 Speak for yourself I'm really tired of men speaking for women in The Observer. This eating dis order debacle is a perfect example. By dictating to us what is right and wrong about an eating disorder, men are perpetuating the idea that women should do and be what men say. We have minds, morals, and common sense to think for ourselves. If you want to be a woman's ally, be there to support her. Don't speak for her. And Mr. Yatarola, your "Culture of Death" theory ("Anorexia and the devil," Oct. 2) about eating disorders is not original. Just Google it.
