Feminazis are more radical than feminists
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Lisa Cosmillo needs help. She claims that Rush Limbaugh "delights in half-truths, racial and gender slurs and claims to be undeniably correct." How can she make those assumptions when she doesn't even know the true definition of Feminazi as defined by Limbaugh?
Anyone who has listened to his radio program, watched his television show or read his New York Times best selling book, "The Way Things Ought to Be," knows that he does not define Feminazi to simply mean feminist. In his book, Lambaugh defined Feminazi as "a feminist to whom the most important thing in life is ensuring that as many abortions as possible occur." He went on to say, "There are fewer than 25 known Feminazis in the United States."
Cossillo, the way you have changed Limbaugh's definition into something to protest clearly shows that you will fit right into the liberal media. By the
way. Limbaugh is documented to be right 97.9 percent of the time, and when he is wrong or misinformed, as rare as such an occasion may be, he publicly admits it. I think that you need to do more research before you write about a subject.

Appearance alone cannot reveal true status of student
I am writing in response to Shelly Solon's editorial of Jan. 21. I am 33, married and have three children. And surprise back to ya', Shelly. I'm a student. What is the criteria to look like a student? According to "Profiles," a publication printed by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, of the 26,436 students enrolled at the University of Kansas in Fall 1990, 1,612 were married and had children, not to mention all of the other types of "non-traditional" students that can be found on campus. Until this year, a student could purchase a set of sports
tickets at student rates and in the same sections as students for their spouse. This option is no longer available. So now if I can afford to buy my husband a reserved seating ticket, on those rare occasions when they are actually available, we will not be able to sit together. Further, if I can afford to purchase tickets for my kids at $15 a pop, am I supposed to let them sit up in their assigned seats while lil in the student section? I obviously cannot join them in their assigned area, now can I? I suggest, Shelly, that before you jump to conclusions about someone's status based solely on how they "appear" that you consider those of us who are non-traditional students. What do we look like?

It's unfortunate that oppressed groups in our society don't have followers with the dedication of Rush
College is place for growing minds not 'Limbeciles'
Limbaugh fans.
Why is it that the only time Lamberceis complain about the accuracy of facts is when they present a contrary view? Lisa Cosmillo, you should have known better than to put on your shoes and leave the kitchen! The tragic part of this entire ridiculous episode is that guys like Lumbaugh and his disgruntled letter writers are just plain scared of women who are brave enough to think for themselves and are not ashamed to let it be known, especially in an atmosphere like the one in Kansas. They fear change, and the only way they know to adjust to it is by confrontation and repression. College is supposed to open the mind and broaden one's outlook, but I can see that a vast percentage of parents' money is being wasted.
Boys, if you are scared now, wait until you are a minority. I will welcome the experience as a chance to learn, but I don't think you could deal with it. I suppose you're hoping that NASA finds another suitable planet to which you can move.
