Apparently the liberal dander is,
indeed, "up" in the wake of Dean
Woody's little sojourn to Richmond.
Mr. Daly's letter of February
10th clearly exposes the motivation
of Dean Woody's bigoted (oh, that
word again) brigade. It is beyond
my power of cognizance to understand
how any individual in this age
of enlightenment can expound
"racism, 19th century methods,
and male supremacy."

Although unacquainted with the
Dean, I feel sure that his sole
intention was to point out that the
Student Council does by no means
represent all University students.
By going to Richmond he was, in
fact, only protecting the rights of
an "apparent" minority group -
the conservatives.

As to the application of the
word dishonorable in the aforesaid
letter, perhaps Mr. Daly sees something
inherently disgraceful or
shameful in a concerned faculty
member acting in the interests of a
large segment of the student body.
I am, however, unable to acquiesce.

It is evidence of poor sportsmanship
when liberals criticize the
means used by Dean Woody. On
the contrary they should be pleased
and flattered that a member of an
older generation has adopted the
very tactics practiced by current
leftest groups. It is one thing to
prescribe a medicine and entirely
another thing to take it.

Three cheers for Dean Woody.
