Why do we have to keep harping on the negative side of student be expected to vote intelligently on an issue they black/white relations? have never heard about? Wedo have to face some facts. First, we can't erase racism from this campus, or anywhere else in the world According to the SGA charter, all full-time matriculated for that matter. Itis an evil that exists in this world, just as others-murder, rape chiled abuse, drug addiction- students should be given representation on the assembly. that is here to stay.

Obviously you Paul Simpson, '91 THE COLLEGE VOICE' have little knowledge or interest in the content of Lisa M. Allegretto Berman's article since you so openly ask, "To what PublishalEdilOr-in-Chief extent have they [affirmative action laws] been re- pealed?" Nor does this show that you have made any endeavor to educate yourself on the subject. Timothy O. Ziegler James H, Gellert EdilOr-in-Chief(Magazine) Associate Publisher Yes, it is true that racist attitudes do exist, but to say that, "racial conflicts have occurred, occur, and will occur ... ." and, "racists will be racists," only help to justify past, future, and present racist attitudes that Jeanette McCulloch are proliferating today. You also state that, ..the answerto why they [racial injustices 1occur could never be de- Managing llailOr scribed." Social stratification, ethnocentrism and competition for economic interest, to 'name a few, will help to get you started on your quest for the solutions. Solomon Weaver, '92, believes that, "although racial conflicts do occur, they must not be tolerated ... nor must we take a breath in the day to day battle against racism." this shows a more positive attitude and portrays him as a stronger opponent of racism. You are correct in your statement, "to make definite conclusions to a human problem of this magni- tude would require years of work." Well Hugh, to get those affirmative action laws took years of work and to destroy them would facilitate the revival of racism. That is not to say that affirmative action laws and programs have abolished or abated racial injustices, but they are a commendable attempt to end inequality due to racism. The repealing of civil rights laws at a time when racism is so rampant only expands an atmosphere which tol- erates racism and galvanizes prescriptive racial tension.

Last week's story on page I, "SGA Stages Abortion Rights Student Debate," was written by Lauren Klatzkin, The College Voice. This week, SGA debated issues concerning two major issues on campus- In the story "Doctorow Presents Energetic Reading" from page 1, the abortion referendum and the Finance Committee's budget proposal. the quotes attributed to a private interview actually were said during a Also, SGA passed the constitution of Musicians Organized for Band Rights panel discussion. on Campus and announced that freshman elections will take place on October 18 and 19. The discussion about the abortion referendum was prefaced by an announce- ment of its results. 1032 students voted, falling about 25 people short of the quorum needed to pass the proposal. 92 percent of those voting supported sending STUDY FOR ONE YEAR OR FOR ONE OR TWO TERMS IN a pro-choice letter to Connecticut state representatives, President Bush, and local and state publications. John Maggiore, '91, Lazrus house senator, stated that "because we did not reach a quorum, I feel that we cannot send this as a referendum, but as an indication of the campus' opinion." He therefore proposed an amendment OXFORD allowing the letter to be mailed from SGA instead of the entire student body. The revised letter states the statistics as coming from a poll. Joseph Tolliver, dean of student life, supported extending the referendum until a quorum was reached. Maggiore's amendment was passed 16-13-1. The revised proposal to send the letter was then passed 26-5-1.
