To the Editors of The Crimson:
I read the sentence three or four times, out still couldn't quite figure it out. "He's an undergraduate, either male or female, "begins Fern E. Reiss's p.3 story about anxiety and depression, appearing in Friday's Crimson. Is she trying to tell us that:
* Anxious undergrads are all men, but men who don't know whether they're male or female; or
* Men who don't know whether they're male or female should be anxious: or
* Anxious undergrads are all men who sometimes, somehow, manage to be female: or
* All undergrads, anxious or not, are men--but some, perhaps through administrative oversight, are female???
I tried not to get so anxious over such a minor point. After, all, isn't this Fair Harvard--where feminist Betty Friedan is a "Fellow" at the IOP, and the Straus Cup competition includes one sport named "Volleyball" and another named "Women's Volleyball" (with fewer points going to the winner of the latter)? Where women trying to study Women's Studies as a Special Concentration are expected to "prove their seriousness" by overcoming obstacles designed to rival the Twelve Labors of Hercules?
"Don't get so anxious, so angry. "I told my self. "It's exam time. Relax, take a study break, read The Crimson." Robert Slate '83
