To continue the controversy
over the sale of Women's liberation
materials by the Charlottesville
Women's Lib at their desk in
Newcomb Hall, I would like to add
an experience and an opinion.
Last week I attempted to buy a
pamphlet by Roxanne Dunbar,
mainly because I had read an article
critical of her in the most recent
Playboy magazine and wanted to
form a more balanced opinion of
that female-revolutionist.
I was denied access to this
material because I, like the gentleman
who wrote earlier, am a male.
Because the feminists are protesting
discrimination by sex, I found the
position taken by the persons
operating that desk to be hypocritical.
Their justification was something
to the effect that the females
at this university were oppressed,
and until that is taken care of the
discrimination by female won't
matter. This argument was supplemented
by a copy of their letter in
the Thursday Cavalier Daily.
I instead hold to that old cliche
that two wrongs do not make a
right. There are legal arguments,
also, against a refusal to sell to any
group on such grounds. I and others
would like to see the Women's
Liberation table removed from
Newcomb Hall until they agree to
sell their wares on an open basis.
