MA. MiSinterpret‘ation'

The CADRE has often pri- nted articles and letters that have employed satire. as a way of expression.

Satire in its broadest ter-y

ms is a technique that can employ humoﬁr, wit, irony sarcasm, parody and innu— endos in order to discredit or ridicule, folly or vice. Credited with being the chief inventors of satire were the ancient Roman poets, although it had been used in the Bible and by ;Homer and Aristophanes. :The use of satire has not 'always been employed by some authors because of their preference to it, but

' it when it is used in the

of ' Satire ‘ rin'many cases because it was the only way in which somebody could attack an institution such as in. Gullivar's Travels or the Mother Goose Rhymes. What— ever the reason for it being used, it has appeared in the works of William Shakespeare, Cervantes, Jonathan Swift, Jane Austin, Lewis Carrol, Byron, Oscar Wilde, Aldous Huxley, Eug- ene O'Neil, and George Bernard Shaw.

The reason for bringing this to light is because if this is such a common writing technique, why are people unable to recognize

Dear Editor;

May I use your paper to express publicly, regret in the loss of Mrs. Henn- nessey from the staff of

'Relly Memorial Library?

And gratitude, too, to her for faithful and most obliging service over the years. Even more than the official service she gaxw, will her personal concern, good humor, and unofficial "counseling"‘be missed by students and staff alike. Whenﬁone was "feeling down"; a step at the Circulation Desk and the briefest ex- change with Dolly was a real "lift". Truthfully, her departure is a real

‘loss.

To the Editor:

There has been consider- able flack being raised in the CADRE theSe weeks con— cerning the slackness of the Campus Police. I am" not saying that they are, but these are the views that have been presented by your honourable paper.

However to get back to the subject, it has come to my notice that Saturday night during the Fall Fest- ival certain members of _ Student Services hooked . into the event free of ch- arge. It would seem that this is a pretty underhan— ' ded trick considering‘even the executive of the Stud— ent Union have deemed that they shouldn't get in to any events for free. They are not only paid an en— ormous salary for-their u: u‘

Vin regards to the article

last week on the "food committee". Not‘only did they miss the satire of it, out they even thought it was in reference to the

‘, food in the cafeteria.

The CADRE printed a sat— irical letter laSt year that made a joke out of the faculty Friday "Happy Hour". It prompted a letter from the head of the Facu— lty Association, who took the letter quite seriously. . A similar example would be an article that Stan Dalton wrote about Pres— ident Baker. He went out of his way in praising education

P.S. It has also come to ? my attention that our ill; ustrious preSident and one of our most worthy Deans "hooked" into the Pig 'n' Whistle on Thursday. I need not mention the salaries

of these two honOurable (?) gentlemen but out'of the

receive you'd think they wouldn't begrudge the

and how he wonder u ly the Senate, because of his 'strong influence on the professors. That right""f there could make you aware! of the-satire, yet’many‘"f‘ didn't interpret it as such. The CADRE soon after even

rpublished a letter from a

student that stated it was the only decent thing that had been printed in the paper.

It requires what is often called "reading between the lines" or looking at things with more than a fone-dimensional attitude. If you are unable to read things on more than one level, you will think that Animal Farm is about some

' talking animals and the
