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.

In Wednesday's issue of the Campus, two letters to the editor viciously attacked gays in general and the Wilde-Stein club in particular. The scurrilous tone of the letters is regrettable, and only illustrates the authors' deplorable lack of tolerance.

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.
