I would like to thank Mr. Eller for the wonderful history lesson from his Wednesday column (“Liberal Bias does exist at Cal Poly,” Feb. 7). I have not seen such an extensive list of accusations since McCarthyism incapacitated our government nearly 70 years ago. Despite the years gone by and the progress made, here you are, throwing accusations like McCarthy himself. But fret not; there are differences between you two. During McCarthy’s time, women had few rights and minorities were kept quiet. But wait, you hold those views as well, proven by your allegations that the Women’s Center and the Multicultural Center are leading our wonderfully conservative campus to ruin. Well Mr. Eller, if there is a liberal bias at Cal Poly, as you claim (over and over again. Seven times to be exact. Count it) then perhaps it is a good thing. Then we won’t be dragged back 70 years kicking and screaming by those like you.
