     dinner is :a little glory 
     
     for a lot of effort. Do 
     
     the students who make boner 
     
     marks not deserve this mere 
     
     recogniticm? There are 
     
     seniors who have made the 
     
     Dean's List for the first 
     
     time last term. For them 
     
     it is too late to be a 
     
     First Class Standing stu- 
     
     dent on graduation day but 
     
     most of» them were probably 
     
     looking forward to their 
     
     one and only chance to at- 
     
     tend the dinner and see

     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

     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.

     and handshakes that accompan-

     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

     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,
