at Carolina who play football. Why not have pictures of
them, rather than Miss Homecoming? 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. |
