Students here don't seem to realize that Penn State faces a similar fate at the hands of legislators. The "It could never happen to me" logic can be tolerated no longer. How close to home does it have to hit before students are moved to action? • It won't take long to write. Below is a roster of legislators listed according to their legis lative district.

Budd Dwyer, Rep. Letters to the Editor Bakke denied Last month the U.S. Supreme Court began hearings on the Bakke case. This case questions the validity of-.current governmental "affirmative action" policies which have at tempted to give minorities equality of opportunity in education and in the job market by injecting them into Positions of authority and institutions of higher learning. It is a fact that for two centuries minority members were denied access to the same quality education that whites received. To allow candidates for medical and law school to compete soley on the basis of their educational achievements would be to allow whites an unfair advantage and would serve to perpetuate the class system of our society that subordinated. blacks and .other minority members to lesser education and jobs in the first place. The purpose of affirmative action is to ensure that everyone has equal opportunity in not only education but in every aspect of society. If the court rules in favor of Bakke and discontinues affirmative action policies then we must face the proposition that we pay only lip service to the concept of equality. B-reviewing A note about Leah Rozen's attempt at capsule movie reviews. I first of all suggest she personally see all movies she reviews. I have seen many reviews which, by her remarks, showed she obviously had seen only the film's promotional poster. An example of this would be 'Damnation Alley;' granted, a B-rate movie, but her review, which said: "Car chase. Vroom. Vroom." said nothing of the fact that the film was science-fiction. Secondly, it would seem proper that any movies which have been previously reviewed in The Daily Collegian should be capsulized by, Rozen in the opiniori of the larger write-up. The very purpose of a mini-review is to condense the paper's main review, not to contradict them. This makes for poor overall journalism on the part of the paper. Thirdly, a reviewer should not insult movie-goers who disagree with them. For the entire term, Leah Rozen has been staging a one person war against 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show,' in volving all three of the above traits.. In her attempts to describe the film, it is obvious she hasn't seen it. She described it as a rock horror show, which says nothing of the film. The day the Collegian printed an extremely favorable half page review, Rozen capulized it into "inane camp," thus having the Collegian contradict itself in the same issue. Finally, in her most recent attempt at creative silliness, she has decided to personally insult the people who almost sell out the theatre every weekend by referring to them as "teeny boppers and other in-the-know types." This is the shoddiest type of 'artistic statement' I've heard out of her yet. Her reviews "add new meaning to bad taste and lack of talent." Please spare us the bad jokes and insults, and give us proper reviews. Family problems Two weeks ago on the "60 Minutes," there was an in teresting story on the wives of homosexuals and their feelings after finding out their husbands' true sexual preference. After watching this program and listening to these women talk, I have become strongly 'against marriages between homosexuals and straights. I cannot see why a homosexual would want to marry a straight and I feel it is wrong to raise a family under these circumstances. Families were designed to serve several functions: 1) socialize, 2) provide material and emotional support, and 3) provide a social status for family members. First of all, the family is the primary context for socialization. In the family situation children should be taught the behavior, values, and beliefs of the culture. In a mixed marriage it would be very difficult to teach children these aspects while they live in a family where the cultural behaviors, values and beliefs are veing violated. This type of William Mader 7th-business logistics Michael Mahan State College resident situation would lead to great confusion in the minds of these children as to which values are culturally accepted, and this could possibly have a strong emotional effect on them' in later life. Secondly, adult family members must provide one another with material and emotional support that cannot be readily, obtained outside the family context. In a marriage between a homosexual and a straight this needed support is lacking in both partners. The homosexual's needed support can only be totally fulfilled by another homosexual, while the straight partner upon finding out the true sexual preference of the other loses what emotional support he or she had and suffers a; severe emotional breakdown which often results in a long term mental disorder. With this in mind, I cannot see how a homosexual, if he has any feelings at all for his partner, could put her, as well, as himself, through such a traumatic situation. Lastly, our family background is the most significant single determinant of status in society. Legitimate birth into a family should give the individual a stable place in that society. In most cases of a mixed marriage, the social status of the children, as well as the family, will be instable and lowered. The children will constantly be reminded through ridicule •by society that they are the offspring, of a marriage between a homosexual and a straight. This constant reminder will have great impact on the child now as Well as in his or her adult family life. Granted, all the functions of the family can be fulfilled to some extent in mixed marriages. But is it fair to subject a straight partner and family to all the pain which a marriage of this type causes? Wanted: bead or alive This past weekend at Stone Valley Recreation Area, one of the directional sighs along the road to the Shaver's Creek Nature Center was stolen. The nature center provides a• community service and is on a very limited budget. ,Nature center volunteers put many hours and a lot of care into routing this sign. The cost of replacing it, in time and materials, is high. What realluse could anyone possibly have for this sign' We need it back. We appeal to your social conscience and ask that. whoever "borrowed" our sign please return it to the' Recreation and Parks office in Rec Hall, no questions asked. Pepsi and Geritol Roy Sletson's and lan Wallach's joint letter on mandatory retirement for persons 65 years of age and over was, in itself, contradictory. They stated that these elderly workers should make way for the "Pepsi Generation." 4 Obviously, these two haven't seen the Pepsi advertisements in geographic areas where the population consists of highly concentrated numbers of elderly. These ads reflect the con sumer area Pepsi serves. Your analogy is therefore weak, since Pepsi just wants to sell their product. What happens to your concept of "Pepsi Generation" when you turn twenty-one? Thanks Now that I am leaving, I would like to take the opportunity to thank my students, past and present, for the satisfaction and enjoyment I've received in teaching them. My contact with them has been the most enduring source of fulfillment to me* these past three years. I've tried as best I can to know you as individuals, and the more I succeeded in doing so, the more pleasure my in structing gave me. In spite of the cynical remarks I've heard now and then about the students of Penn State, my first im pression of them still stands: that they are the most valuable, and interesting part of this university. I hope they learned as much from me as I learned from them. Rocking the boat I guess that people must be "tired of ' hearing about" abortion, and "tired of hearing about" rape, and "tired of hearing about" homosexuality. These life-concerning issue had their day in the Collegian, but seem to have disappeared from the public eye. To some extent, ignorance of issues does seem to help eliminate them. One almost never reads about the quarter million homosexual persons who died along with six million Jews irl. Nazi concentration camps. One wonders where the so-called right-to-lifers are when people are killing each other during wars. Is the shock value of an 4borted fetus more than that of disintegrated, dismembered corpse which has been destroyed by an anti-personnel bomb? • If rape prevention were one-half as effective as parking enforcement in State College the streets might begin to be safe for unescorted women. To be sure let's not rock the boat.
