Kindly allow me. to thank Mr. Emmanuel Amobi for the Very nice he is doing in his 0011mm "Matters of the Intent". > His first ar- ticle titled "Our hope. for a more mature Studnet Union" greatly interested me and very many other students of this University. This was the kind of article I have been expecting in the Sun for quite long now. 'Ihank you very much Emmanuel for this good job you have de- cided to do without any PaY- \ " ~

I strongly disagree with fine view unsigned letter had on the column ‘ "Matters of the meent" in the last issue of the Sun. I feel that the writer of that letter wrongly accused the editor. He was also very unfair to the person of Emmanuel, who put quite alotoftimeintryingto inform the students. i

It is true that Emmanuel was one of the contestants, _ but that article was not a campaign speech as the It was an article on general infor— ' mation; The writer should go back and read the ar-

led an interesting life and, by 9pm you'll probably run out of” things to recall and start to repeat yourself .OK, so You've proved you can suffer thru it. But"tl’1at's only one , day, what do you think‘ ' you will do for the other three hundred and sixty sate—odd days left in the year? 2yrs? Syrs? For those who have enough stamina to try this experiment they will be blessed with a very

one of the most marvelous accarplisl'ments of man: the ability to make someme smile.

With a little effort , some singing and music, light conversatim and a few kisses and handshakes that accompan- ied valentines those lonely depressed ,elderly people really enjoyed that sarewhat special day.The fine idea'of showing your love and appre—

' ciaticn for those close to you is beyond. the folks in this place as most of them have no one close to them or if they do they are often forgotten.

I'd like for you,the reader of this lettertotryanduse your imagination to visualize what you would be doing in 50 years from now.How do you

, think you would feel,being in a crowded institution, your health not too good, bad hear- ing and the ever boring N that glows from morning till night and acts like a sedae tive to tolerate the empty hats. These people had been through some good times and in View

’ of the wars some very hard times. And, after raising or

realistic picture of what it's like to grow old.

Oh sure you'll say"I'm going to do my best not to end up like that!"But, do you really think these people worked hard all their lives just‘to go into an old age home?

Anyone that can sing,. dance,play a musical in— strument,tell jokes,play cards or just talk is more than welcome to join our groupJI‘he hour and a half spent each week is well worth the smiles and happy faces that accompany the good— byes.We leave the chap- laincy centre every Tuesday

helping toraisetwo‘generaticns, 6p.m. (bring a car if you what do they have to show for itihave one) .Like one sweet old lady said to me,"Thank you for caring!"

nice article on the duties of the officials.

Thank you very much Mr- Amobi. More grease to your elbows. \ .
