i The perils of voti;ng ion morality (Continuedfrom page 55) more than a hired assassin, even if he only kills super bad guys. Not muchi protest is heard on this campus against these movies, and MIT would never consider banning them. Director of Ad- missions Peter Richardson, how- ever, feels that showing porno- graphic movies, particularly in September, gives the message that "'MIT is insensitive to wo- -GA men." He implies that MIT should forbid such showings. Yet such movies are shown in Boston on a regular basis and are appar- ently permitted by this nation's judicial system. Does this give the message to incoming students that Boston and the entire judici- al system of this country are in- sensitive to women? Or does it mean that the right to free speech is more important thian Richard- son believes? Since it's not currently illegal to show most pornographic mov- ies, opposition to showing them is founded mainly on claims that they are immoral, offensive and degrading, especially to women. Such arguments apply much more strongly to'nuclear weap- ons. Considering that a mere hundredth of the United States nuc!ear arsenal could kill- over 100 million Soviets, spending tens of billions of dollars on building even more nuclear weapons in an age of widespread hunger and poverty is far more immoral, of- fensive, and degrading to all peo- ple than pornography could ever be.
