Hoax

You printed yesterday two
letters of great indignation at
Mr. J. Arthur Gorham III for
his letter of the preceding day.
These letters expressed outrage
at Mr. Gorham's intolerance
and prudish attitudes towards
the sexual activities of the
students. I find truly amazing
the great out-pouring of
emotion in reaction to the
absurd letter of "Mr. Gorham".
That the authors of the two
letters were so absorbed in
their own indignation and
wrath that they could not see
that the letter was an obvious
phony, I find highly amusing.

There is no J. Arthur
Gorham III, not in the student
body, not in the faculty, not in
Charlottesville. I applaud
whoever wrote the letter at his
sense of humor and wish only
that he had been a little more
subtle in writing his letter so
that perhaps his fraud would
never have been discovered.
