down, says reader.
Dear Editor.
I would like to respond to
the letter (“As
students
representing
Meredith,” April
17, 2002, Letters)
concerning the
public display of
affection that
occured at the
activities fair
while incoming
freshmen were
visiting.
Since then,
letters have been
written in
response to the
letter writer’s
attempt to “puri
fy” the Meredith
community.
Men and
women are
consistently seen
holding hands
and kissing
around campus. Although
men and women were not seen
doing so at the fair, the fact is
there are no men involved in
Meredith activities, so there
was no chance for public dis
plays of affection to occur
there.
And I must point out that the
two women at the booth have

yet to be seen on top of each
other with their legs
interlocked anywhere on this
campus or in any other public
place.
However, I really am more
appalled by the second set of
letters that have been posted
and displayed on the bulletin
board of first floor Fairclolh.
All this has done is further
hurt more individuals and

How true does that ring if we
are tearing each other down?
Also, we should be
thinking about the distinct pos
sibility that just one of those
incoming fre.shmen might have

two girls openly showing affec
tion. This could have given this
new member of Meredith the
courage to be herself and to
know that we

their beliefs.
What we all need is to
realize that we are one within
these walls and that we should
be supportive of everyone’s
beliefs, despite their sexual
preferences.
We claim to attend a school

during her
time at
Meredith.
We are all
women and
we all have
the right to
choose the
way we live
our lives.
If we can’t
be supportive
of each other
here, how
can we ever
be supportive
outside of
Meredith’s
gates?
Isn't that
why we all
came here in
the first place—to grow and
learn from one another and to
become independent women
that gain the strength and self
confidence to take on the,
world?
