Take a stand and sit in
Letter to the Editor
We are writing to inform all interested persons that there will be a silent sit-in in Le Mans Hall beginning at noon this Friday, Feb. 9, to protest the censorship of the Vagina Monologues on Saint Mary's campus. We believe our silence will be a testament to the way in which certain students at Saint Mary's were and are being silenced.
We in no way are supporting or denouncing the Monologues, but instead are concerned only with the fact that a dramatic production has been censored. Opinions vary on the relevance of the production, however a unifying theme emerges — our freedom of speech is being threatened. By refusing to allow the "Vagina Monologues" on our campus this year, the Administration has censored a dramatic production. When one form of artistic expression is muted, the path for further censorship is made smooth. All interested students, faculty and staff are invited.
