Prof. Barry: We will then agree to disagree. The Women's Resource Center has scheduled a second Vagina Monologues event for 7 March at 10 P.M. Thank you for expressing your concerns. Ken Clarke.

Mr. Clarke: I am glad to know that they have done so, though my concerns over the administration of Sage remain. I will continue to advocate for the removal of CURW from a gatekeeper role for University facilities, as your organization's actions in this event, to me and the (so far) unanimous voice of those I've discussed it with, seems contrary to the mission of a University such as ours. As the members of the WRC and VM effort redouble their work to accomodate this late impediment, they will no doubt realize the absolute absurdity of its application and remember well the agents responsible for imposing it.

Cordially, Don Barry.

Additional Note at the time of receipt of this letter, the Women's Resource Center had not scheduled a second showing, in fact the response was under active debate and discussion.
