"Maid" or "Biddy"

(Ed. Note--The Crimson does not necessarily endorse opinions expressed in printed communications. No attention will be paid to anonymous letters and only under special conditions at the request of the writer will names be withheld.)

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

This is just a little letter of resentment to the word "biddies" which figures so prominently in your morning paper. I am speaking for myself and not as a body.

True we have considerable cleaning to do, but in University Hall we are listed as maids not "biddies".

If we are unfortunate enough to have to work for a living. I don't think it too much to ask for a little respect in return for the many little acts of kindness which we perform in our work.

Thanking you for your valuable space I remain A Maid.

(Ed Note: "Biddy" is listed in standard dictionaries, and according to the definitions given is in no sense a disparaging term for "maid". Certainly no disparagement was intended).
