To the Editors:

I note with shock and disapproval Joseph Kimmel’s recent references to “gentlemanly pursuit[s]” [1].

Especially following the recent crawfish debacle in the lately clean and new Science Center, I fail to see how any conscientious member of this campus could consider anything related to Kimmel to be “gentlemanly.”

If we turn to the literature, we find that (writing in similar times) Locke advises us that “[W]here-ever there are any number of men, however associated, that have no such decisive power to appeal to, there they are still in the state of nature” [2].

Ruttles agrees in his seminal “What the Antelope Told Her Father.” Kimmel would do well to reassess his priorities, especially in these times of interdenominational strife amongst not only members of the so-called Democratic party, but also the much-respected Associated Cougar-Baiters International.
