Love for dead animals

I would rather add meat to my life than life to my meat. One meal in the steamy brisket-blessed heaven of Schwartz’s is greater than an infinity without.

Maggots in art
Re: “Art in the flesh” | Features | Oct. 27
Whitney Mallett’s failure to include the Czech video artist Jan Švankmajer in her scattered overview of meat art is an omission comparable to that of writing a biography of a fly without mentioning maggots.

Seriously, one last word from SACOMSS on Choose Life
Re: “Choose Life and SACOMSS should work together” | Letters | Oct. 27
This will be SACOMSS’ last response regarding the student group Choose Life. Any further queries should be directed to our external coordinators Rebecca Harris and Corey Gulkin at main@SACOMSS.org.
We would like to reiterate that SACOMSS does not take a stand on the abortion issue. Our concern with Choose Life stems from the fact that we are a non-directional service. This means that we do not give advice or judge the decisions that a survivor of sexual assault makes such as whether or not to get an abortion.
While we appreciate Choose Life’s offer to work together, SACOMSS cannot work with a group which promotes an agenda that doesn’t necessarily correspond to the best interest of a survivor. Our only agenda is to support survivors and the decisions they make. Although we are unable to collaborate with Choose Life, we still hope that they will include us in their list of resources.
Our final point has been said, but it is clear that it needs to be reiterated. Only SACOMSS representatives can speak on behalf of SACOMSS. We ask that people please refrain from making public statements based on assumptions regarding our stance on political issues, student groups, or anything else.
