It is rare that one sees such an insightful and humanizing portrayal of an African-Amertcan woman to a nationally published magazine. While that was refreshing, it would also be refreshing to see a humaniz- ing portrayal of an African-American man in your mag- azine every once in a while. This is not a matter of political correctness, but rather a matter of equity. Amiri Kudura Barksdale, sophomore, Dartmouth College 4 Get off your cyberhorse I am writing to address a letter to the editor written by John Patrick in the January/February issue of U. Magazine. I am a fellow cyberenthusiast who "jumped on the bandwagon" a little over a year ago. I wonder, am I "old" enough in cyberyears to share your precious domain? Your attitude, Mr. Patrick, is elitist and annoy- tog. I look forward to an increase in users of this elec- tro-reality. As user load increases, the demand for faster processors will be met Cyberspace is going to grow until everyone has access, whether you like it or not. Joshua Bradshaw, sophomore, Wichita State U. 'je A worthwhile spring break It's so refreshing to see that there are some college students who will devote their spring break time to something other than booze, parties and the beach ["Giving Others A Break," January/February 1994]; who want to take the time to give to someone less fortunate and maybe learn something valuable in return. This arti- cle brought the necessity for volunteers to my attention and showed that one person really can make a differ- ence! Krista A. Coyne, junior, Indiana U. of Pa.4 . U-MAIL: Address your correspondence to Letters to the Editor, U. Maga school and phone number for verification. Internet users shoul A r hfecord rarr h foowa, I Jeff Wilson, The Daily Orange,Syracuse U. Give us a break Your stories about spring break only give the impres- sion that all college students want to do is get a tan, spend money, get laid and drink alcohol to excess. I do know that you did spend half a page on volunteering over spring break, but it was overshadowed by the remaining two and a half pages on a "typical" spring break. Why don't you treat college students as some- thing other than overgrown kids? Julie Harty, gradu- ate, U. of Oklahoma 4} How dare you print in your rag that students seeking a low budget spring break stay in homeless shelters ["How To Break Broke"]. To suggest that party-seek- ing breakers save money by leeching onto a shelter is no laughing matter. It may be possible that Mr. Kaiser is unfamiliar with the plight of the homeless, but this is not an excuse. The majority of homeless shelters are strapped as it is. If the only option one has in ensuring their vacation is to take the food from those without, maybe no home is the best place for you. George L. Fillar, senior, Wayne State U. Political story makes the grade I was very informed about the political parties pre- sented in your story, "Who Makes the Grade?" I thank you for doing what so many journalists think comes last, informing the public. The parties presented were very interesting and I now have some ideas of what is avail- able for me in the political spectrum. Again, thank you and continue the solid reporting. Joee Medina, freshman, New Mexico State U. 4 Political story deserves an "F' U. Magazine's January/February article on national political groups reminds me of Hillary Clinton's health care commission: a bunch of liberal-leaning paper- pushers, meeting in secret, presum[ing] to judge its subjects after a few interviews and inquiries. Who decided what groups deserved an "A" and which merit- ed a "D"? Nothing was mentioned about the composi- tion of this grading panel, and a partisan slant is cer- tainly reflected in the results. I am deeply insulted by your characterization of the College Republicans as nothing more than a bunch of partisan whiners. With our national leadership, this organization is committed to student activism and democratic ideals. P.erhaps that attitude of greater openness and fairness should be extended to the news division at U. Magazine. David Marks, junior, College Republicans president, U. of Maryland Reality Bites doesn't need to define us So Reality Bites isn't the defining Hllt of Generation X, and neither was Singles or Slackers ["You talking 'Bout My Generation?" Vlarch 1994]. Who cares? Why does any generation need a movie to define itself? The reason nobody's made a defining movie about our generation is that it can't be done. Stop trying. John J.

"Yes, because we have security guards that are around at all times, and even though we recently had a shooting on our campus, they have increased the security tremendously." Vannessa Ford, senior, Norfolk State U. "I live in the dorms and during the day the campus is very safe but [not] in the evening. If I need to go to the library or the parking lot, I have to use the escort service or bring my Mace." Wendy Balka, sophomore, U. of Massa- chusetts, Lowell "Yes. I might be biased because I work as a dispatcher for the UCLA police department. I think that though we live in [Los Angeles] and people think it's very dangerous, the campus is very safe thanks to the department of community safety, which escorts women to their cars every day of the year until 1 a.m." Selby Arsena, senior, UCLA "No, I don't feel safe on campus. I don't feel our universities are being hon- est with us about incidences of sexual assault. I think they're trying to protect the victims, but in doing so they're putting the rest of us in jeopardy." Kimberly Humphreys, junior, U. of North Colorado "I feel very safe upon my campus, but as soon as I step off I get really scared and I notice where I am and start looking behind soy back a lot, because it's a dan- gerous area. But on campus it's absolutely safe." Charles Chao, sophomore, U. of Southern California "Yes, but that's because I'm a male. I think females probably have a tendency to feel unsafe on campus because of the police reports that they read in our local paper." Phillip Kraft, sophomore, U. of Arizona "No, as an openly gay man I do not feel safe. One in four gay men are physically bashed. Although I am big enough to take care of myself, my grandmother of all people bought me a stun gun just in case." Steven Collingsworth Jr., graduate stu- dent, The Ohio State U.
