I also do not like being called an idiot. I take my job seriously and so does my partner, Gus Gaudet. Just because you don't like the most widely played sport in our country, don't call diose who do, idiots. It is far from nonsense. It is a wonderful game, played by

Dear Editor,

I am’writing this to complain about the terrible reception of CID/N radio on the Island Gable- vision system. The sound is distorted, and the words printed on the

screen are barely readable. When I phoned the station to complain, I was informed that the reception problem is caused during transmis- sion between UPEI and Island Cablevision, and not by any equipment owned or operated by the univer- sity radio station.

Apparently, there is a bad connection somewhere that is causinganother

. stationto interfere with

CID/N, resulting in the audio and video distortion. I wish that someone would put pressure on Island Cablevision to correct this problem immediately, so that university students living in Charlottetown

can continue to enjoy the music which is available on CINN Radio. ~ Yours truly, A. Student.

Dear U.P.E.I. S.U.N:

I'm a prison inmate incarcerated for 5 to 8 years. A good buddy put me on to your paper. Said you might be willing to run a free Classified Ad for me. And they said that the free lunch pro— gram had been axed}!

It sure gets pretty lonely in here and I 'd love to be able to write to one of your readers, especial— ly a woman. I am very much interested in corres— ponding with someone who wouldn't think of me as a corrupt individual. But rather as one who has made a mistake of which I am now paying for and am truly sorry about.

So. .. hoping you just might find the space to squeeze this ad into your columns, I'll say "many thanks“ and be forever grateful.
