SWHR requests ideas In order to make free com-munications available to the whole campus and to give every-one a better chance to get in-volved, Student Welfare and Hu-man Relation Commission is creating an informative guide for students, faculty and organ-izations on where to go 'or who to see for specific problems. If you feel your organization has anything at all to offer to the school, students, administra-tion or community, it is very important that you respond.

Annual subscription price is $5. Second-class postage paid at Bloomington, Illinois 61701. by DONNA BRAUN Staff Writer So far, I have only covered two of the major debates on the issue, but there are others. For instance, the ERA would render illegal all laws separating the sexes in public buildings, such as rest rooms. It would cause either elimination of rape and prostitution laws on the amend-ment of them to include both men and women. Alimony would be awarded to men and women at the discretion of the courts, as well as support payments, child custody, and dower rights. Husbands would no longer be required to support their wives. Protective legislation concern- The Jewish faith, who, as part of their faith, separate men and women while worshipping, may be viewed.as illegal in this one matter. If you'll remember, we are guaranteed freedom of reli-gion by the Constitution. Rabbi Abraham Gross, presi-dent of the Rabinical Alliance of America, expressed the Jew-le ish faith's views o'f the ERA in the New York Times, April 4, 1972. "A central tenet of our faith is the uniqueness of the respective roles of men and women. This amendment direct-ly threatens our rights to con-tinue practicing our faith as we have for the past three centur-ies in America." Children's play adds performances for Wesleyan activity card holders the sexes would be law. What is the sense in passing a law if you don't intend to follow it? Sen. Bayh also feels that in most cases alimony, child sup-port, etc. would be awarded to the female. Unusual cases such as when the male is disabled and the female is independently wealthy would be the excep-tions. In the area of protective legis-lation, Sen. Bayh claims, "these so-called protective laws which are supposed to give special pri-vileges and rights to women are really 'privileging' them right out 'of meaningful advancement and opportunities in the employ-ment market." Opponents say that without the protective laws, women will be forced to lift heavier weights, take fewer breaks, and, in short, they will lose many of the priv-ileges they now have, plus they will be exposed to more danger-ous jobs. A side of the whole issue that, perhaps, few people have looked at, is the religious one. cents for students and the im-mediate families of anyone hold-ing a Wesleyan activity card. The card will not be punched but you must show the card to get the reduced price. There are no reserved seats. Other performances are Fri-days, Jan. 19 and 26 at 4 and 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, Jan. 20 and 27 at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m., and on Sundays, Jan. 21 and 28 at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. Letters to the editor Montgomery opposes aid Dear Editor, I, as a student at IWU, must disagree with the Senate's passage of the bill sending $300 to North Vietnam for medical aid purposes, as a result of the United States' bombing attempt to end the war. For one thing, I am in extreme doubt as to the "representative" leadership we, as students, have in our senate, who gave them the money to spend. I AM mainly replying to Darryl Deets' Presi-dent's Corner as it appeared in the Argus. Deets' first point directs itself to the idea that North Vietnam is not our enemy. I really don't feel that this is the question at all. North Viet-nam has never been considered our enemy, that is, an enemy of the U.S. This excuse seems dis-torted and inappropriate for sending the money, which probably went into buying a new machine gun anyway, as it is impossible to check where it went. I also question sending money to a government, which I, personally, am in disfavor of, whether we are at war with them or not. North Vietnam is not my idea of a government that needs any of our assistance. Certainly the bombing effort is in question, but to stop the bombing is where our energies and finances should be directed, not towards medical supplies after the bombing has been done. DEETS'S SECOND point was also as weak, mentioning a "Liberal Education" in some sort of connection with liberal politics or attitudes. Surely this is stretching it a bit too far. If money is to be spent on activities outside the realm of this campus, which senate is authorized to de-cide, I can think of several other organizations that need a helping hand more than a country such as North Vietnam. If the Senate is so inclined as to try and make All letters to the editor must be no longer than 250 words unless the writer is responding to an editorial. Letters should be submitted by 7 p.m. Monday in order to be printed in the following Friday's edition. All letters adhering to the prin. ciples of good taste will be printed. Every letter must be signed, and name will be printed with the letter. No more than ten signatures will be printed. Letters do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the ARGUS. lll.l.lll......m...e..llii...................l an effect on international policies, such as the bombing of North Vietnam, then there are 'other more positive and direct efforts to take. Letter writing to Congressmen, or the passage of a bill by our Student Senate stating our disappro-val, are steps in the right direction. I find Darryl Deets' reasons for such an action lacking and insufficient. Our "enemies" are not in question, but certainly our "representative" Student Senate is. Sincerely, Tom Montgomery TKE Fraternity Abtahi voices ERA dislike Editor: I agree with Phyllis Schlafly's Echo Chamber article against the Equal Rights Amendment. This amendment is more than frivolous and chil-dish; it is dangerous. It completely disregards the God-ordained differences between man and wom-an, and will destroy the present role of woman in our society, making her an easily-victimized pawn of the "Big Brother" dictatorial govern-ment to come. Though women's-libbers and their male admir-ers may desire such unpleasant consequences, most women will surely regret the day when their rights were taken away by the ERA. (For more information, see "Look Out-They're Planning to Draft Your Daughter," American Opinion, November, 1972, p. 1, quad F of the library.) Also, I must protest with all my heart the re-cent Student Senate decision to aid North Viet-nam wth student funds. Yes, we all are citizens of the U.S., and one of 'our allies has been in-vaded by a godless Communist enemy power whose stock in trade is systematic mass murders, torture and terror by which to subdue the civilian population of South Vietnam. There are some of us at IWU who didn't want to be burdened with the terrifying moral responsibility of having aid-ed these criminals with our compulsory activity fees. It is a sad day when the Argus feels free to commend the senators who voted for this naive and treasonable plan for "doing something politi-cal and relevant." Of all the places in the world where medical supplies are needed, why must the coffers of these bloodthirsty imperialist war-lords of Hanoi be the first to be filled? Thomas Abtahi Tickets are still on sale at McPherson Theatre for its chil-dren's show "The Thirteen Clocks." Special campus performances ,of the James Thurber musical fairy tale opening today at 4 and 7:30 p.m. have been added for the benefit of faculty, staff, and students. January 24 and 25 are their dates. Prices for these performances only will be 50
