Vandalism disappoints
To the Editors:
No War on Iraq. Zionism is Racism. Every Night is Take Back the Night. Peace.
Anarchy. I dont care what your favorite current cause to force on everybody else is, but
to those of you who are taking it a step further and turning it into petty crimestop it!
I have never seen such an overabundance of juvenile vandalism on this campus before, and its
making me think that one should take some sort of proficiency exam before they are allowed to wield
a $1.75 can of Rustoleum. Do you think that your message is really going to stay there? Think about
it: one moment were all raising a stink about the college wasting its money on stupid things,
and then the next were giving them something stupid to waste it on. I think that Oberlin
has such a beautiful campus, and it makes me extremely unhappy to see it defiled on such a regular
basis. So please, for the sake of keeping our buildings/sidewalks/stairwells looking unlike a giant
bathroom stall, think of the consequences of spreading your message in such a destructive manner.
