Dear Editor,
 
Perhaps you have noticed lately, the increasing amounts of skin that some male students have been flaunting. Between the three streakers at Mac Hall In Concert to the Mr. Whitworth competition and Carlson Men calendars sold at Springfest, which contained pictures of naked guys whose only insufficient means of covering themselves consisted of Frisbees and cowboy hats, some students are showing a serious lack of decency. Frankly, gentlemen, I'm not impressed. I recognize that we girls are very different from you guys (and sometimes trying to understand you is utterly hopeless), but purity and modesty are not meant to be terms characteristic of women only.
   
Please, help the women of Whitworth to guard our hearts and minds. Those of you who are Christians, especially, who desire to please God: You cannot "honor God with your bodies" (1 Cor. 6:20) while at the same time contributing to unclean thoughts within the minds of your sisters. Humor does not need to involve vulgarity and excessive displays of skin. Don't get stuck in the Hollywood mindset that crudeness is funny. It isn't.
   
I beg of you, please honor the women of this campus by being different than the rest of the world. Thank you.

Sarah Lusk,
sophomore
