Mr. Merriam, in his wealth of igno- rance, fails to understand why Professor Hummel of the University of Toronto must put an end to this undesirable behavior. Why is it so difficult for Mr. Merriam to realize that these young women are not ornaments on display?

I can appreciate their desire to come into contact with animals as I enjoy it too, but I think when the city chooses the animals it wants in there, it must do so with some careful consideration. For instance, what is the philosophy of the present no; one which mixes, unsuccese fully, domestic animals and wildlife?. What it boils down to is the attitude and image of wildlife we want to convey to children. Can a child distinguish between the cute black bears, and the pretty little deer as domestic animals to be fed ieftovert0 It reminds me of the cute pictures parents have taken in local malls of their little darlings holding a such as Prof. Hummel.

Hisantiquated modeofthinkingcanhe dauduektororimiurpointinhiatory, and his intent is evidently to set legiti. mate feminism (as if Mr. Merriam has any idea as to what this term means) and human dignity back about 70 years, I also regret to inform Mr. Merriam that the sex drive is not the power that makes the world go around. And it most certainly is not the power that makes an institute of higher learning "go ar- ound." The university atmosphere is designed to be an environment free of biases and pejudices - whether they be of gender, age, race or religion. Prof. Hummel has acted in a manner unhe- coming of an individual whose purpose it is to uphold the standards of the organiz- ation which he represents, and there. Why is it that many people who cry about racism and discrimination can't ever understand the concept and theory of reverse discrimination and reverse racism? How sad that either has to exist, but both do.
