LETTERS POLICY
Well, this is our joke issue...needless to say that everything here is a joke, this explanatory box notwithstanding. Most of you will find fault herein, no doubt, but the fact remains, somehow we are the established media on this campus as we have been for 114 years. Pretty much all you can do is write a letter, which we'll print, of course, in our final issue next week. Letters to the ditor regarding Issue 8 (last week's issue) will also run next issue. Finally, George W. Bush was not elected, no matter how much you wish he were, which we know you do.

Q. Who was the last great conservative thinker that wasn't a radical in her time?
A. Satan
"There is a Latin expression that means 'you're teaching fish to swim'. That is exactly what the ritual of institution does. It says: this man is a man - implying that he is a real man, which is not always immediately obvious. It tends to make the smallest, weakest, in short, the most effeminate man into a truly manly man, separated by a difference in nature and essence from the most masculine woman, the tallest, strongest woman, etc. To institute, in this case, is to consecrate, that is, to sanction and sanctify a particular state of things, an established order, in exactly the same way that a constitution does in the legal and political sense of the term. An investiture (of a knight, Deputy, President of the Republic, etc.) consists of sanctioning and sanctifying a difference (pre-existing or not) by making it known and recognized; it consists of making it exist as a social difference, known and recognized as such by the agent invested and everyone else."
