Improve Behavior

In reference to the item
concerning the Open House to
be held by President and Mrs.
Shannon I cannot believe that
the Shannons intended for this
function to be restricted to
male students "and their wives
and children".

In keeping with the warning
of the Judiciary Committee
that "behavior toward women
must improve" may I suggest
that in the future you use a
genderless term, such as
"spouses", when extending
invitations to the student
body.
