     Dear Editor: 
     
    

    
     By the definition of igno- 
     
     rance Moul- 
     
     mein’s article last week, I have 
     
     found that almost all of the 
     
     people I know are ignorant. I 
     
    
   
   
    
     am truly disillusioned.

     great time at the campus com-

     everybody have a 
     
    
   
   
    
     would have too except I arrived 
     
     at 8:20 and there was standing 
     
     room only, I guess I was a little 
     
     “late” for the 9:00 show. 
     
    
   
   
    
     I was told on my way out 
     
     that there was about 200 peo- 
     
     ple expected there that night. 
     
     so if I waited, chairs would be 
     
     brought down from upstairs. I 
     
     have a question for the peo- 
     
     If you 
     
    
   
   
    
     were expecting so many people, 
     
    
   
   
    
     ple who organized this. 
     
    
   
   
    
     why wasn‘t the show held up- 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     everybody to sit comfortably? 
     
     if the show was held upstairs, 
     
     I think that there would have 
     
     been a better turnout because 
     
     people wouldn't have left when 
     
    
   
   
    
     | 
     
    
   
   
    
     they learned that there were no | 
     
    
   
   
    
     seats left. 
     
     time I go to a main event Ill 
     
     be able to stay and enjoy my- 
     
     self, instead of being “crowded
