PAGISý 23 Centre should be remiendedl they are public0dmai CONTI) FROM PAGE 4 Ail newspapers have basic responsibilities to the communities they serve which do flot vary with circulation. Your failure to make editorial comment from an informed position is opportunistic, and of no value to this com- munîty. Marilyn Fletcher Oshawa Durham Rape Crisis Centre EDITOR'S NOTE: Well, if this letter was not a political statement, then we do not know what would constitute one. An intersting side Issue to the letter itself was the way in whlch the letter was presen- ted to the editor of this publication. The lady who came into the off ice to present the letter on behaîf of the Oshawa- Durham Rape Crisis Centre was not only overly aggresive, but belligerently so. In fact, the first thing So why are you bored? CALL ME ANYTIME BLAIR BUCHANAN she said to the editor wittiout even in- troducing herseif or giving simple greetlng was, "So you are the cul prit." Perhaps her attitude was sparked by the fact that the editor is of the maie gender, however, we do not know that to be afact. Her opening remark was indicative of the prejudiced state of mmnd of the political ideology and movement of feminism. It would be well to remind these ladies that their operation is within the public domain and, therefore, may be subject to the scrutiny of the Fourth Estate and hence the public. It would appear as though they object to this. if they wish to operate in thé*, public domain, then they are subject to the same things that everyone else is, including this newspaper.

However, it is lnteresting to note that the letter does not dwell on any of the characteristics that we felt were good qualities for a counsellor. Neyer once are the word's or concepts of love, understanding, compaSsiOn, or*patien- ce ever mentioned. This would lead us to specualte whether these concepts are even reent in this organization, espec- ially in the lady who brought the letter to our office. We must also admit that we do not see the connection between womnen's rights (a cause that we have suported in some key issues) and helping, we repeat helping, -a woman who'has been attacked. Surely the help that that woman needs is not a political statement of her rights but a shoulder to cry on and a friend to turn to. For the benefit of those at the centre who obviously intentionally or otherwise missed our point last week we will repeat the last paragraph of Our editorial " Love, patience, understan- ding and compassion, are indeed more desirable qualities than those of feminlsm, and we believe there are many women ln our community wlth these attributes who are not necessarily feminlsts."
