To The Fixer: I entered Madisoh College in the fall as a freshman, and have read

the Fixer from the first week it was published. Although I can't say I fully agree with all articles printed, I do want to say that I, as well as many other freshmen^ do agree with the articles discussing the inactivity of the present Students Government Association,

When we arrived we were introduced to all the various SGA offi- cers and members, and were told about all the SGA rules we were ex- pected to abide by, A few weeks later we were told to vote for our freshmen representatives. To be frank, I did not even bother to vote. I knew no one, and the declarations posted in the post office were almost mimeographed copies of each other, stating previous "ex- perience" and expected intentions if elected. It seemed to me to be a popularity election of whoever was in the most activities in high school. The other reason I did not bother to vote was because, from what I had seen and heard of the SGA, it appeared to be only a fig- urehead "representative" of the student body. All final decisions seemed to rest with the faculty and administration.

Recently, opinion petitions were circulated through the dorms, list- ing rule change suggestions, I know that in the dorm I'm in, those sheets of paper were a welcome indication that someone actually did want our opinion. I only hope that the SGA will push these suggestions forward to the administration. Some of the rules at this schoox are fast becoming too out-dated to hold students here,

I believe that one of the overall complaints of a number of iresh- men to whom I have talked concerns the SGA. To refer to the SGA as "renresentative" of the student body'.' is to state what is obviously a farce, and I believe that'the only to make the SGA our represent- ative would be to overhaul the entire governmental system at school. Right now I feel as though the administration is scared shitless of us, and the SGa is ignoring us, hoping we'll go away ana leave it alone. With an attitude like.this, the situation can only get worse. If the SGA and the student body would only. eyes and, to quote Tony Miller and Aeith Margrey, "get off their _ asses", action could be taken that just possibly could lessen soudent mistrust and unrest. Don't let another freshman class enter to what we did!

Nancy Dalton I wish, also, to express appreciation to the Fixer for caring

enough to let students voice their opinions to, someone who would lis- ten and lend support. Keep up the good work.

To X.L. Duncan—You sure know how to put it all in words.

The forms of racism that work against black, brown, red, yellow and poor white people in the real world, work against the same men as soldiers. Just as the "have nots" by the very nature of Ameri- can society find themselves at the bottom of the political, economdc and social ladder, the "have not" soldier finds himself with the odds very much against him and with the least chance of survival.

First of all, in the military only the top brass gets respect. To become top brass you must first be polished in a military academy. To get into a military academy you must be sponsored by a Congress- man, How many non-white or poor guys have.friends in Congress? There are 9,000 cadets at West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Aca- demy—52, or 0.5^, are black, about 25 have Spanish- sounding names, none are Indians, and pro- bably only a few are from very poor white families.

Another place where the top brass is polis- hed is in university POTC. i^ot only do you need money to go to col- lege, but you also need a "good" high school ©dada^ion, everybody knows that high schools are terrible in poor neighborhoods, ghettos, barrios and Indian reservations.

Of the combat deads in.Vietnam, 18.3^ are black. Twenty percent of the combat troops in Vietnam are black. And everyone who has been over there has seen that many of the highest risk battalions (e.g., airborne) are as much as 50 to 70$ black.

Among whites, the casualty rate of men from Appalachia is two times higher than for whites from any other area.

It is obvious that the military is a racist institution engaged in a genocidal war against Asians, as well as committing genocide again- st its own non-white and poor white men.

Most students realize tuey are being talked down to, and they will soon reject those who continue to use this style of reasoning. Students will not "stay in their place" as long as it is always a poor second place position,

While many professors are put- ting down the students for trying to gain some control over their education, most e.locators are them- selves unset over;- their own lack of pull in the universities. If we are the children, then,cur educa- tional parents ( the professor) seem to be quite willing to sacri- fice their offspring in a bid for more power.

Students (especially at this institution) do not want to "take over the college", rather they wish to have a voice in decision making areas. Two voting students on the Board of Visitors would not corrupt that august body, but it would al- low the students to express their beliefs and ideas to that body. Most students also feel that the faculty should be consulted when college policy is being decided, (As it is now stands neither sec- tor is asked for its advice,)

A wedge has been effectively placed between the faculty and the student body at this school. The result is seen in the pre- sent conflict over roles while the administration continues unchal- lenged, Faculty treat the student as a child while the student won- ders if his teacher is any dif- ferent from the administrator.

If both the student and. the pro- fessor are really concerned with improving the educational exper- ience at Madison, then a gain in power for one is a victory for both. Insread of fighting among ourselves, let us redirect our efforts toward those who have the power and refuse to share it, re- gardless of their position (ad- ministrator, stubborn faculty mem- ber or an SGA offical.)

hygiene deodorant sprays can cause "adverse reactions such as infla- mmation and rashes,"

The current isine of the "Med- ical letter", a newsletter for physicians, says it is "unlikely" that the aerosol sprays are as

effective in controlling hygiene and removing odor as soap and water.

nitain puop "whicl:

Hants, usually

gas, "which could irritate vaginal mucous membrane," the article notes.

Of the manufacturers who reveal- ed the ingredients of their sprays to the nev/sletter, one said it used an ammonium compound. The newsletter said the compound "oc- casionally causes a hyper-sensi- tivity contact dermatitus."

A Highland Park, 111. gynecolo gist-obsretrician, Dr. Bernard M. Kaye wrote that "as the adverti- sing push and the use of these sprays has become widespread, I have been getting more and more complaints of vulvar irritation,"

"I honestly have no way of de- termining the efficacy of these

.sprays; however good old-fashioned soap and water should do the same thing,"
