## SOAK'S
Mail All Wet

To the Editor:

The Committee of Students Opposed to the Appointment of Kissinger (SOAK) has prepared about two thousand copies of the petition asking Georgetown to reconsider its connection with Kissinger. These might be mailed out at the 2½¢ rate, using Georgetown's low-priced mailing permit. However, when the effort was made to mail them in this manner, the Committee was informed by William S. Catherwood IV that this would not be permitted without approval of the academic Vice-President due to the matter's sensitivity. When this was objected to on the grounds of censorship, Mr. Catherwood replied it was not.

It may not be censorship, but it is blocking the efforts of the Committee. I'm sure that if the Committee was inviting students to a party welcoming Kissinger to Georgetown there would be no objection to using the low-priced rate.

The petitions must now be mailed at the 7½¢ rate for bulk mail. The bill will now be $165 instead of $55. The result is the U.S. Post Office will get $110 that otherwise would not have to be paid if the lower mail rate was used.

The Committee has $55 for the mailing. We appeal to interested students and faculty to help us with this expense. You may mail you donation to: SOAK, Room 2, O'Gara Bldg.

Yours for a better Georgetown,
Richard McSorley, S.J.
