I was shocked when I read the article "Pink Jeans," in Wednesday's paper. I am referring to the emotions expressed by John Sandblom when he wrote he would like to punch every gay, throw up on them and that they just aren't any good anyway.

Imagine yourself if you will, walking down a dark side walk somewhere on campus. It just so happens that on this particular night you are wearing jeans and by coincidence it happens to be Friday, alias "Gay Jeans Day." The next thing you know five or six gays approach you giving a sales pitch about the Wilde-Stein club. Talk about your queer situation.

Ernie Clark's editorial concerning "Gay Jeans Day" made some valid points, but it missed an important one. I maintained that Friday's campaign will be 'taken as a joke by the student body at large."

Despite some student opposition and organizational problems, Friday's Gay Blue Jeans Day was termed a success by one club member.

"Last year there was much more opposition to the event."

I am saddened by your editorial endorsement of "quiet complacency" by suggesting that the Gay community would have been better off respecting the individualist dictum of "You do your thing and I'll do mine."

I wore jeans last Friday in support of the gay community and their rights as individuals. After experiencing the attitude and prejudices of some of my fellow students, I wrote this sort of conglomerate of their opinions: "Phew! Am I glad "gay day" is over! Now I can put my good ole jeans on again.

Dear Wilde-Steiners, What is your problem anyway? Have you ever heard of learning from experience? The Wilde-Stein club survives very well in the UMO community. Due to a general atmosphere of indifference, you are able to meet and enjoy your rights with little interference from your fellow students. If you claim: "We just want the freedom to be able to live our lives the way we want," fine...do that. We at UMO have not stopped you from being able to achieve this in the past.
