I wanted to comment on last week's letters to the editor that sounded like rants about discrimination on a campus-wide scale ("Rally participants missed an opportunity to educate," March 28). Instead of trying to argue about the interpretation of others, why not argue for some sort of change that starts at home and lets students decide for themselves.

I am sure you have seen those purposeless tolerance signs on the stairwell doors of residence halls. Even if it is lucky enough to be unscathed this far into the semester, why would someone take this piece of paper seriously? Who would change their life for something posted on a building door? I wouldn't. Truth is, almost no one does. Walk onto a residence hall floor and within minutes you can hear something that violates the "Prejudice Free Zone."

Yet, Residence Life still wastes paper making these fliers when it could be printing something that might actually make a difference -- a notice of a campus cultural happening. It could be the schedule for the art house films that show every weekend in 112 Chambers or for the foreign films that show every month in one of our commons. It could even be a sign for a Penn State cultural festival such as the Malaysian celebration the HUB recently held.

While it would promote cultural awareness, even better, a door post like that might just provoke someone's attention. It beats some white-out-colored tolerance sign or some rant about an event.
