Posters Condesend to Knowledgable Obies

To the Editors:

“Did you know?” “We are going to war,” “Do you care?” were the questions posed in front of King one cold crisp Wednesday morning. While one may think it is condescending of you to assume that Oberlin students need to be notified of impending events through news briefs posted under our feet, this is not the case. Our first thought was, “Wow, what a colossal waste of paper,” but then we realized that with Oberlin being such a hotbed of right-wing conservative political action, we might have never had access to this information. We are certain that these signs will inspire many anti-war rallies that would not have been held if Oberlin students had not been notified about this war by your signs. Then, again, we thought, “What a waste of precious resources,” but this line of thinking was drowned out by our appreciation of how much our lives had been enriched by your signs in ways we had never thought possible. By the way, our house is having a party on Friday. Do you think you could flyer for us?
