              <text>Two weeks ago Dr. Nagy submitted an article to The Grizzly concerning gay and lesbian issues both on campus and elsewhere. There are two issues that we would like to&#13;
address concerning this letter. First, Dr. Nagy implied that homosexuality was a choice, that people like to "experiment with alternatives to the Judaeo-Christian standards for sexual behavior," and that people can be&#13;
"advised" to choose alternatives to that sacred standard.&#13;
&#13;
Homosexuality is not a choice. Nor is it a mental or sexual disorder, according to the American Psychiatric Association. It is a sexual orientation that is present innately in some people (current research suggests&#13;
10% of the population), just as heterosexuality&#13;
is the orientation of the rest of the population. Much of the "good" and "bad" tags which determine "normal" behavior are socially determined by religion or tradition, and have no underlying logical basis. Imagine, for instance, if you are heterosexual, being deported to a society where the vast majority of people engaged only in homosexual relationships and thought it was sexually&#13;
deviant and disgusting to engage in sexual relations with a member of the opposite sex. Even if you were forced&#13;
to live In such a society for the remainder of your life, you would neither have any desire to engage in a homosexual relationship nor learn to have the desire to engage in such&#13;
a relationship. This is because you never learned your heterosexuality to begin with, just like homosexuality&#13;
it is an inherent orientation and by no means a choice.&#13;
&#13;
One objection to this model would be that such a society would never exist, since heterosexual intercourse is the only way to propagate the human race. While this is true, some 90% of the population is of heterosexual&#13;
orientation, a figure which throughout time has not and will not fluctuate greatly. Since it is just as impossible for a heterosexual to become a homosexual as it is for a&#13;
homosexual to become a heterosexual, homosexuality poses no threat whatsoever to the propagation of the human race.&#13;
&#13;
Second, Dr. Nagy also felt that persons harboring anti-gay sentiments were being " intimidated into silence" by gay and lesbian support groups such as GALA. On the contrary, a far greater attempt at silencing is made by the anti-gay community toward homosexuals. We can not exaggerate the number of people on this campus who subscribe to the motto, "Don't ask, don't&#13;
telL" Other common remarks made in relation to both homosexuals and GALA include: "Don't flaunt It," "Don't let other people see," "Keep it out of the public", and "For God's sake, don't put posters up or advertise&#13;
your meetings!" &#13;
&#13;
Such remarks are not only prevelant here, but are&#13;
representative of the general treatment of homosexuals throughout the country. People are telling the&#13;
homosexual community to be quiet, they are threatening them with violence if their behavior or orientations&#13;
are made public. They are stigmatizing homosexuals in such a way that many are afraid to "come out of&#13;
the closet" for fear of being ostracized as a result of their disclosure.&#13;
&#13;
However, heterosexuals experience none of this discrimination, and GALA or any other gay and lesbian&#13;
organization has not and will not ever participate or condone such discrimination toward heterosexuals.&#13;
We ask you, Dr. Nagy, who is really being silenced?&#13;

&#13;
We are writing in support of John Ronning's letter in the November twelfth issues of the Grizzly concerning GALA. We believe that Mr. Ronning made an excellent point that students confused about their sexuality should not be counseled by people who are going to push them towards homosexuality. He makes a generous offer to put people confused about their sexuality in touch with a group offering another point of view.&#13;
&#13;
The remarks he made concerning certain aspects of the homosexual lifestyle, while vulgar, may not hold true for all homosexuals; however, those riturals are indeed a part of the gay culture. Some of us have heard about these practices from people we know are homosexual. We know Mr. Ronning's letter outraged large numbers of the faculty, staff, and student body. [sic] some have personally attacked his character and others have questioned his employment here at Ursinus. If we are to be open minded about accepting homosexuals, why should we be disgusted by someone holding a different opinion?&#13;

In response to Mr. J. Ronning's opinon: November 12, 1991.&#13;
&#13;
It seems such a shame that a professor at a liberal arts college, whose patience and guidance should be focused on preparing young minds for the future, could be so ignorant and closed minded. Haven't we, as a culture, progressed to the point where people that are different can be acepted without question, critisism, or controversy? &#13;
&#13;
Someone should delicately explain to Mr. Ronning that diversity among people has existed since the beginning of time. All people have their sexual preferences. Some, like myself, prefer heterosexuality, others homosexuality, others bisexuality. Still others practice bizarre forms of heterosexuality. Should heterosexuals who indulge in sodomy or "golden showers" also be ostracized for partaking in what they enjoy? Do you judge a man by his sexual preference? If your response Mr. Ronning is yes, then I am ashamed that you are a representative of the college that I attend.&#13;
&#13;
Do you really expect, Mr. Ronning, that your tirade will prevent homosexual tendencies among a group that already prefers that type of sexuality? That was clearly the intention of your opinion. I do not believe for a single moment that you intended to "save" gays from future health problems by presenting them with another group that might talk them out of homosexuality. The intention of your verbal lashing was simply to embarrass and shame, not help. GALA was initiated to give homosexuals an outlet that could be found nowhere else. Its secrecy is vital simply to prevent protest by the uninformed and prying members of this campus. You took an organization, with which you had no concern, and rake it over the coals simply because your views are not in harmony with it. Mr. Ronning, the right to privacy is inherent to existence of all men. In the future, please try to work out your own sexual frustrations by not criticizing others whose happiness you obviously envy. &#13;

Letter to the Editor:&#13;
&#13;
I'm upset about this whole GALA thing. I'm on the Student Activities Committee, (or as it is not called AFAC) so I had to vote on whether or not to pass the GALA constitution. After two special meetings and weeks of debate, constitution was passed. And I was one of the people who voted for this group. Once I had throught the whole thing through I couldn't find a good reason not to vote for GALA. I even took time out at a conference I went to, to go to educational sessions on homophobia I did this to sort out my personal feelings and to find out what other colleges are doing about this. Now, I'm not so sure I did the right thing. &#13;
&#13;
This whole situation is becoming petty. While everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, the letters back and forth in the Grizzly are getting ridiculous! The GALA constitution has been passed both by SAC and the faculty. This campus has to accept that fact. When I voted "yes" for this group, I felt good. I thought this group could do some good at Ursinus. But all I've seen so far is petty articles in the Grizzly and slander to a newspaper staff member. In her Oct. 22 article, Melisa Miller wrote about the proposal of GALA and some students' reactions to this group. All of her information came from the SAC meeting that she was invited to. Melisa Miller's article was neither for nor against GALA, it was just to introduce the idea to the student population. It did just that! I have now read two articles in the Grizzly critisizing this article. One by Michael Cyr, a member of GALA, and the most recent one, by Dr. Regina Oboler, the faculty advisor to GALA. This really upsets me! Do something better with your time to help Ursinus instead of defending yourselves against imagined slander. You are disappointing me and I am a hetersexual who has some good ideas that could help you get your club started and involved on campus.&#13;

Okay, I would just like to say three simple words, "Get off it!"&#13;
&#13;
The debate that has raged on in The Grizdy over homosexulality has gotten OLD!&#13;
&#13;
Is there no other news in this world? Even OJ. Simpson reports would be better than this.&#13;
&#13;
Dr. Nagy and his supporters have their opinions. Everyone else has their own opinions.&#13;
&#13;
My suggestion is wise up. You can't  force your beliefs on other people. They will end up resenting&#13;
you for it. Grow up!&#13;

Thank you,&#13;

              <text>Last Thursday at 12:30 p.m. in Wismer parents' lounge there was a campus forum on the topic of free speech which seemed, in my opinion, to reach the following conclusions from faculty and students alike:&#13;
&#13;
I. The difference between ' hate speech' and ' intelligently expression your opinion ' can not be determined.&#13;
&#13;
2. If a difference can not be determined, then a difference does not exist. Therefore, there is no difference&#13;
between ' hate speech' and 'intelligently expressing your opinion.'&#13;
&#13;
3. Therefore, if any action is to be taken to restrict ' hate speech' then the same action must be taken against 'intelligently expressing your opinion' since they are the&#13;
same thing.&#13;
&#13;
4. Therefore, no action should be taken against 'hate speech'  for 'intelligently expressing your opinion' is 'one of the principles which our country was founded on' .&#13;
&#13;
Frankly, I found this absurd. How could an intelligent group of faculty and students assert that 'hate speech' does not exist? How could an intelligent group of faculty and students assert that the difference between one form of communication and another form of communication can not be determined? If the difference&#13;
between various forms of communication&#13;
can not be determined, at least in a working sense, then communication would be impossible.&#13;
How could I understand what you were saying if I could not tell it apart from anything else you were saying? What?&#13;
&#13;
The forum then, in my opinion, went on to another near- consensus conclusion that even if 'hate speech'&#13;
(what?)  did exist then gay bashing (what?), racial slurs (what?) or overtly sexist remarks (what?) should be allowed because they do not infringe upon the first amendment rights of those they slander. I found this equally absurd. The only way rights can be infringed is not&#13;
merely through segregation, physical violence and the denial of certain jobs, even though those forms of discrimination continue to exist. Psychological violence and discrimination in the form of language or images exists and can be shown to exist. Further, they can be shown to be more damaging than other forms of discrimination. I do not have the space to justify these statements, but it can be shown that ' hate&#13;
speech ' falls into the category of psychological violence and discrimination and needs to be restricted if equality is to be achieved.&#13;
&#13;
I believe that it is absurd to say that a working defintion of ' hate speech' can not be reached and that the damaging and discriminatory effects of ' hate speech' can not be determined. While I have not proven either of these assertions, I did not have enough space to do so. I will attempt to do so in future letters. Until then, let us try to keep the campus forum on this manner alive, for more discussion is needed and while some of us believe that people do not have the right to express certain phrases, all of us believe that everyone has the right to debate&#13;
whether or not you should be allowed to express certain phrases.&#13;

Bowers reports that the forum concluded that hate speech cannot be easily distinguished from expressing one's opinion and thus should not be banned or punished. Bowers counters the position of the forum by stating that hate speech demeans people's identities, promotes violence, and acts as a form of discrimination. Bowers encourages additional debate on the topic, urging the campus to keep the forum alive. </text>

              <text>To the Editor:&#13;
&#13;
The last few issues of The Grizzly, notable October 30 and November 12, have been full of remarks on topics that have gone a long way in causing agitation among the students on campus. There have been eloquently written letters supporting the newly formed GALA organization. There has also been a faculty member telling of the "joys" of being homosexual in a rhetorical gay-bashing effort. The existence of this organization is not opposed by me. What is bothersome is the attention that it recieves. As with any organization on campus, interested will seek out the club and participate. Refrain from giving this club any more exposure than something such as the Angler's Club. It's difficult enough to eat in Wismer without reading about this club ad nauseam. Let's let GALA become a normal part of the Ursinus community. &#13;
&#13;
The nausea surrounding GALA is only dwarfed by two of the articles by Mr. Woytek. First, he wrote an inconsequential editorial involving the seating arrangement in the cafeteria. Paper was actually used to print this harangue directed at the student body--unbelievable. It is human nature to continually sit in the same seat in the same surroundings. There are many classes I have been in where, although there were no seating  charts, students sat in the same seat every class. This is why fraternities, sororities and sports teams dine together in the same areas. Also, at dinner, which is spread out over a longer period of time than lunch, members of the opposite sex often sit and talk with people in a forum that is not in "their territory." The mentioning that this type of arragement does not occur at other schools is simply an unfounded accusation. The last point on this loathsome topic is the terrible usage of the word "atrocity" in Mr. Woytek's editorial. If the way students congregate in the cafeteria is considered an atrocity, what stronger word can be used to describe a nefarious crime like rape? Save the dramatics--it only heightnes the amusement surrounding the topic. &#13;
&#13;
The last issue that I would like to address is the November 12 article entitled "The Black Hole of Greek Life." The timing of this article is poor because the IFC is considering changing pledging or banning it altogether. To let this article go without response would be sending a message to the IFC that the Greek system is not good for the Ursinus community. This is certainly not the case. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it is wrong to treat this opinion like it is the prevailing thought throughout the campus. It comes down to a matter of choice. The people belong to the Greek system chose to pledge. Those people who did not pledge did so out of choice, too. To say one decision is better than another is simply wrong. The Greek system is fine as it is and is very willing to accommodate those students who are not Greek. This must be kept in mind by the IFC, that council headed by Dean Kane, who apparently gives the IFC the same credulity that Joe BIden gives to the Senate Judiciary Committee. To disband the Greek system would leave the social life at Ursinus in a shambles. &#13;
&#13;
As as far as starting an all-swimmer fraternity, I wish you luck. Unlike the way Mr. Woytck feels, the fraternity would not "offend all the frats that currently exist," but limiting your fraternity to swimmers would surely be its downfall. It is diversity that keeps the Greek system alive, and for this reason, Ursinus should work hard to keep this system intact.&#13;
