Thus, I write to show my support. My wife and I have been married almost 19 years, and I can truthfully say she is the only per son with whom I have had sexual intercourse. Al though I speak only from personal experience, 1 agree with Holder that greatest benefits of sexual intercourse can only occur within the confines of marriage. The term "intimacy" accurately reflects the psychological as well as physical aspects shared by man and wife in the loving and com forting sexual experience. ^realize that college is a time of experimenta tion. However, I join with Holder in encouraging students to abstain from inappropriate sexual be havior and consider their abstinence an invest ment toward their future marital happiness. Finally, I would take issue with one of Holder's comments regarding the lack of human honesty. It has been my observation in 11 years at A&M that the vast majority of its students are friendly, hardworking and honest. 1 urge present and fu- thv When Lee began to talk about Malcolm X, thevol ume of his microphone was not properly adjusted until Lee requested to increase the volume. Sec ondly, the Lee spoke in the dark for more than five minutes before a spotlight was shined on him Furthermore, when it was announced that Lee was unable to hold the discussion session after the film, I think the person in charge of the event should have come out to the stage and apologized to the audience in person; not just announced over the speakers. I was very much disappointed and irritated by such irresponsible and impolite behavior. Perhaps some world forgive those in charge because they said that the "accidental-cancella- tion-without-any-legitimate-excuses" was beyond their control. However, should we be confident in their future programs —such as the "An Evening with Lady Margaret Thatcher"? Good Luck to all of you! Kelvin Yip Class of‘91 Lee's instructive mirror reflects societal problems ture Aggies to uphold that worthy tradition. O.E. Elmore Faculty: Fiance and Management Film festival handling of Lee disappoints audience I am writing in response to Roy Parson's letter entitled "Spiked message at Texas Film Festival." 1 attended the screening of "Malcolm X" and heard Spike Lee speak about the movie and why he makes films. Lee said that his intent in making films is to hold up a mirror to society. If that image is ugly, he said that he hopes some kind of dialogue on the topic begins. He cautioned that he offers no solutions to the problems he presents and that he is only a filmmaker. This is certainly not a message of reverse dis crimination. Instead it is a message to think open mindedly about the problems that face our soci ety. Spike Lee should be encouraged to continue to hold up his mirror to society. We can only cre ate positive change by seeing ourselves for who we really are. I am sure many people went to watch "Mal colm X" on the opening night of the Texas Film Festival as I did. Regardless how one feels about the movie, is it worth paying $8 or even $12 for one movie and waiting about 5-10 minutes after the show for Spike Lee? Like many who went to the show and paid $8 or $12, I expected the peak would be at the discus sion after the film, not at the end of the movie it self. The Texas A&M Film Society had advertised about an after-show discussion before tickets went on sale. If I had known there would be no discussion after the film, 1 would not pay more than $4 for the movie. Probably most people would not pay that much money, nor would they even spent the time to come to the show. In addition to the unexpected cancellation, I think the Lee's introduction was poorly managed. Editorials appearing in The Battalion reflect the view* of the ediloriol board.
