Exposes Self

Dear Sir:

The good old Student Council
has exposed itself. It voted 11 to
6 (I think that was the exact
tally) with 1 dignified abstention
to protect the ephemeral lily pure
Southern white girl (does she
exist?) from the horrible polluting
effects of black skin; to protect
its reputation with the Klan;
to protect the University from
atheistic, Communistic race-mixing.
(Note on the abstention: To
abstain is to be a moderate. Thus
proving again, after all these years,
that a Southern moderate is a
moderate segregationist).

Racism will never falter! No
matter how obvious we are, no
matter how insulting, no matter
how tiresome, no matter how cruel
or ignorant our vote may show us
to be, we must never shirk our
pursuit of the ideal inhuman civilization.
Oh, wow.
