Both the campuses of Saint Mary's and Notre Dame have been reading about the Notre Dame administration banning GALA's ads in The Observer. We've read where President Malloy stands on this issue. My question is this: Where does the administration of SMC stand on this issue? The Observer speaks for both campuses — I paid my twelve dollars at the beginning of the year. I'd like an answer to my question; as a student here, I deserve one. This is my education and I'd like to know the parameters of it. Will I be allowed to explore all avenues of thought or will I be confined to the administration's mode of thought? But I'm not even asking SMC to condemn ND's [and now the Observer's] policy, nor am I asking SMC to condone it. All I'm asking for is a decision, so I know where I stand on my campus. SMC has a responsibility to its women — the mission of this school is to educate well-rounded women, to show women that they can make competant decisions for themselves. What kind of an example is an administration that refuses to stand up and speak out on an issue that is central to both campuses?
