Big Sister

To the Editors of the Crimson:

* A few thoughts from a non-hysterical observer of the Pi Eta mess:

1) It is somewhat disturbing to see Big Sister trying to make everyone conform to the principles of good think. Or is it that we can think what we like, so long as we don't write it'

2) The comments by Pi Eta members watching the protest were crude. They were not without a point, however, i.e., is it not concern able that organizations such as GLSA are equally morally reprehensible to some students' (No! No! Never at such a broad-minded University!) Or is it the case that morality is judged by popular ballot--more people despise Pi Eta's sexual ethic (as allegedly represented in its newsletter) than despise other groups' sexual choices? If this is the case then prepare for the worst--and don't scream when some majority legislates your morality

3) Pi Eta members have essentially, in the minds of many, been convicted of rape for what they've said This, though no reports of sexual abuse have issued from women attending the club's functions, this though women seem to have entered the club's party even during the protest Saturday night. I guess we are left to conclude that these women were incapable of caring for themselves. Big Sister to the rescue again

4) It thought crime is to be a legitimate charge (and so far, nothing else has been charged) then, for God's sake. let's lock up everyone who ever advocated the violent overthrow of the United States government-- and everyone out there who ever mumbled about wishing Reagan had been killed had better turn yourselves in to the Though Police This goes as well for women who advocate burning down the Pi Eta building

5) Bad taste and stupidity are not crimes and these are the only real complaints against Pi Eta--other than that the letter was "inflammatory" and "incited men to commit rape." I haven't yet found anyone who committed or considered committing rape after reading the newsletter, and everyone is either squeaking and beeping with outrage or laughing at those who take it seriously. I do find offensive the charge that men become rapists after reading such drivel--that we cannot think without our testicles getting in the way. If that isn't sexist, let's scrap the term

Of course, I realize this will be seen as conversial; it is just chock-full of double plusungood-thought. I can only hope that I will provoke some reasoned response instead of the nonsense currently spewing from both sides of the issue. Jim Chiavelli '84
