Doing It In the Duke City

Ladies, it’s time to stop limiting yourselves sexually – no matter what time of the month it is. I think it’s just plain unfair that during a woman’s period, it’s expected that she either transform into her partner’s oral sex slave or behave as if she belongs to a convent.

Sex column did not address STI dangers and prevention

Editor, This is a letter to your writer Hunter Riley:   Please! I have no problem with your 
article on anal sex, but there was no mention of the fact that a number of sexually transmitted infections are also things to think about when planning for an “anal adventure.” Student Health and Counseling, New Mexico AIDS Services, Planned Parenthood and the Department of Health’s 
Stanford Clinic are all close to campus and provide free or very inexpensive condoms.

Corporations too wealthy to have freedom of speech

Editor, Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision was monumental. Here are my thoughts and suggestions:  The First Amendment does not grant any rights to individuals, per se. It rather prohibits Congress from enacting any laws “abridging the freedom of speech.” From that perspective, it is easier to follow the majority’s argument.
