Canada's "Mother Teresa?"
Linda Gibbons may be, according to Paula Kulig of the Globe and Mail, "doing a life sentence on the instalment plan" but what does she think those she's protesting against are doing?

Lecture too much for "Average Pat"
the Carillon
Last Thursday night I attended the twentieth annual Luther Lecture. The guest lecturer, Jean Bethke Elshtain presented a lecture entitled "How Far Have We Fallen? Human Nature and Human Possibility." Bethke Elshtain a distinguished author and professor of Social and Political Ethics at the University of Chicago was an excellent speaker with an engaging style. She was clearly enthusiastic about the topic she was presenting and she was obviously trying to ensure that her audience learned as much as possible about her topic as they could over the course of an hour.
See Story"Sex Lady" to Speak
On Monday, October 6, 1997, the Women's Centre and Counselling Services will be sponsoring a talk given by Johanson. Lifestyles Condoms is helping promote the "Sex Talk" tour, and will be providing free condoms to those who attend. Question cards will distributed so students may ask Johanson anything that is on their minds.
Having once heard Johanson speak at my high school, I highly recommend attending. I thoroughly enjoyed her lecture. She doesn't 'speak down' to people, and deals with sex in an open and honest manner. Johanson uses humor to get her points across, and I still remember parts of the lecture I heard over six years ago.
The lecture will be held in CL 110 on Monday the 6th at 3:00 pm, and during the lunch hour the Women's Centre will be handing out t-shirts, teddy bears and free condoms. This will occur in the Owl between 11:30 and 1:30 on Monday the 6th. Be sure to come early as supplies are limited!
Safe Walk not a new program
I am writing to correct a tragic omission from the article "Safe Walk" in the September 25 issue of The Carillon. While Greg Burbidge and Tammy Trudgeon have a good idea they are not the first to think of it.
From 1987 to 1994 the Engineering Students' Society facilitated a University of Regina safe walk program. For seven years, Engineering students volunteered their time and energy protecting those students who felt threatened walking through our campus at night. Sadly the program was discontinued after a semester in which only one call was received.
As a first and second year student I proudly observed the dedication of these volunteers and I was disappointed that their sacrifice was not mentioned in the article.
