Footbal After browsing through the 1976 Ca brochure I was disheartened. Throughout is bombarded with propaganda about stadium and the coaches. This is the purpose of the booklet. However, the booklet insults more t\ human population. The booklet suggests, by its content, tl no place in football except as competit Homecoming pageant. Two out of 68 pages are devoted to woi Homecoming pageant contestants. Both f are covered with pictures of the smiling w poses. Many of the women on page 57 emphasize the size of their breasts.

The only persons who care about the Miss Homecoming pageant are men with prurient interest, women who participate and racists wno wish to boo the queen if she is of the opposite race. *1 e If the booklet were truly representative of persons h participating in football at Carolina it would at least have e included mention and pictures of the band and i cheerleaders, organizations in which there are many s women. If space limitation was the reason for this neglect, e pictures of the campus and stadium could have been n eliminated. ; t It is Irad enough that football at Carolina has been commercialized so only a few men can play. It is worse to j e picture as sex objects the few women who are n represented. | +/M* I I \J I I M THE EDITORS: the job.
