Dear Sir:
I write to rebut the critics
of H. Geiger's devastating
exposure of the fallacious
claims made in support of ERA
and his/her exhaustive list of
highly probable pernicious
social consequences were this
iniquitous project of feminist
fanatics and lesbian elitists
passed. Geiger enumerated an
array of adverse ramifications
of ERA most of which would be
damaging to women them
selves.
What is the joint riposte of
Ms. Tarvydas and Ms. Howell?
It is a disoriented jumble of
non-sequiturs and extraneous
irrelevancies. Although Geiger
listed fourteen concrete ad
verse consequences hardly one
was addressed or rebutted
although Howell has great faith
in "voluntary" support by
a husband of his wife. (This
seems strange coming from one
who campaigns against "male
chauvinism".) Tarvydas lists
alleged "benefits" of the
Pennsylvania version of ERA
(which is not an amendment of
the U.S. Constitution) some of
which are laughably insignifi
cant(how wonderful to be able
to retain your maiden name!)
and most of which were legally
possible without any state
ERA. With remarkably cogent
logic she ridicules the charge
that ERA, if passed, would
undermine the family, by
asserting that, although thirty
five states have passed it, the
family still persists. Obviously
ERA has not passed yet and
Geiger did not say the family
would be damaged even if ERA
is not passed.
Howell's logical acumen is
equally impressive. She is
either markedly uncandid or
extraordinarily unaware of the
massive current "trivialization"
of the Constitution(as one
writer puts it). Doesn't she
know that this is an age of
litigation and has't she heard of
the avalanche of appeals to the
Supreme Court by those bent
on "absolutizing" first amend
ment and other Constitutional

rights? How can she blandly
and innocently contend that the
highly probable "facts" of
inevitable ERA Constitutional
challenges listed by Geiger are
"merely possible though highly
improbable interpretation"?
Father and son banquets, for
example, already have been
challenged as "sexist"; how can
any challenge therefore be
"improbable"?
I believe in the elimination
of discrimination against wom
en but not in the elimination of
the distinction between men
and women. We already have
legislation which guarantees
most of the former; ERA would
attempt to effect the latter and
would 'be a giant step
backwards.

Dear Editor,
Although I applaud the
clear and accurate rebuttals of
Weaver, Howell, and Tarvydas
to H. Geiger's attack on the
ERA, my response is quite
different. I admit my first
reaction to Geiger's letter was
to respond in a mad tirade that
would rip holes in those
well-worn and inaccurate as
sumptions about the effects of
the ERA. It wasn't until I read
Geiger's last criticism that I
realized the letter was a hoax

To the Editor
How much longer must the
residents of first floor Church
be forced to use the unsafe
entrance at the north end of our
building? How many more cuts
must we sustain? How many
more good pairs of gloves must
be ruined before the situation is
remedied? I am referring to the
missing door handle at the
north entrance of our hall. A
handle which, by the way, has
been missing since November.
On Wednesday, January 18,
a meeting was held in the
dining hall for all dorm
residents. At this meeting, Mr.
Gautreau was confronted with
the problem. He admitted
having prior knowledge of the
problem. Even after it was
explained to him that the
handle had gradually come off,
he chose to assume it was
vandalism. He also stated that
the door would remain in
disrepair for several weeks.
This was to be a reminder to us
on the floor. I feel it is ludicrous
for Mr. Gautreau to aussume
floor members are responsible.
Three weeks have passed
and we are still using the
homemade handle(a twisted
coat hanger). It is understood
that there had been an
emergency in the meantime
with the breaking of the steam
pipe. However, we have waited
long enough. Where is our
handle!?

with' the simple purpose of
getting some feminist to
respond in a mad tirade that
would rip holes...etc. That last
criticism I refer to was: "ERA
will not protect privacy based
on sex in public restrooms..."
That's one scare tactic that's
been beaten to death. I
seriously doubt there is anyone
left who believes "Equality of
rights under the law" will
prohibit Americans from seeing
in private.
