1 2Omnibus Thursday, September 29, 1988 kANPOM majeure Observations from a useless woman By EUZASSTH LULU Staff Writer Every Southern town worth Its salt has its own Confederate soldier statue. Alexandria, Va, used to have one of these sentries from another era until recently, when the 20th century rudely toppled It Alexandria's favorite son fell after a car hit and badly damaged the statue's base. The current debate revolves around whether or not to restore the soldier to his rightful place in the town center. Some of those opposed to re-erecting the statue call the auto wreck an act of Cod, a means for removing a memorial to an immoral war (As opposed to what, I ask you? A moral war?). The pro statue forces call their soldier a symbol of patriotism, of duty, of defending the sacred ground of Virginia All this hoopla leads. me to consider UNCs own Confederate soldier, Silent Sam. in the minds of most Tar Heels, he is not a symbol of the War of rJorthem Aggression at all, but rather a virginity test, its not too surprising, in this town everything revolves around sex, beer and basketball. A peripheral fourth value is academics. At least this fourth element applies to the masculine portion of the student body. Just this week, In a sociology class on this campus, a male student (who shall remain nameless for his own protection) stated that a woman's education was not as important as a man's because men are the major breadwinners in our society, it would seem, if one extended this thesis, that the majority of u? students are slaving away to acquire a relatively unimportant degree when they should instead be serving and drinking beer, cheering for the basketball team and... wen, you know. When these female students graduate, they wia attempt to enter the labor force and start to worry, it seems that women currently tend to be fairly con cerned about their economic futures while men are relatively satisfied and secure, according to CBS' morning news show. CBS went on to say that the wan Street Journal wonders why this is so. seems fairly obvious to me that this anxiety is a direct result of women pretending that their trivial educations equip them for careers at an. The highlight of the Bush Dukakis debate was the reaction of the only female member of the media panel when she was told she had time to ask an extra question Caught totally off guard, her face contorted In sheer and utter panic while the cameras dosed in for a better look. Probably a combina tion of economic anxiety and too much sex, beer and basketball contributed, to. her inability, to take it ail ttstrtd&v.v. . : in the debate, George Bush reminded us again that the pres ent month Is actually December and not September as so many of us have been deluded into believ ing. If the seventh of this month was Pearl Harbor Day and the 25th was Christmas, then it would seem that the 31 st would be New Year's RECEIVERS KENWOOD - O YAMAHA KRA-47 R RX500 40 watts per 50 watts, remote channel.
