- Well, it depends on what kind of response you want to receive... in your
- position, I'd be going for the positive and creative. You might write
- letters to your school newspaper, stating your chagrin and disappointment
- in the individual Christian female responsible for the act, etc. Of
- course, it's kinda risky, especially if the readers are anything like
- those of the K-State Collegian, in which such views are just as likely
- to be attacked as they are accepted.
-
- The best method might be to just wash off the offending makeup and try
- to ignore these actions.
-
- (Sorry if this seems redundant, Lost Boy, but after reading a couple of
- the other responses I felt like I oughta make this one a little more
- public...)
