      people
      who
      play
      them
      and
      CAN
      play
      them
      for
     
     
      enjoyment,
      and
      all
      the
      power
      to
      them.
      It
      is
      an
     
     
      individual
      thing,
      just
      like
      what
      they
      said
      about
     
     
      liquor
      and
      alcoholics.
      Just
      because
      someone
      is
     
     
      an
      alcoholic
      doesn’t
      mean
      they
      should
      take
      the
     
     
      liquor
      out
      of
      bars.
      I
      also
      laughed
      my
      ass
      off
     
     
      when
      I
      read
      about
      the
      tagging
      and
      squirt
      gun
     
     
      strategy...
      really
      liked
      that
      idea
      and
      appreci-
     
     
      ated
      the
      laughter
      a
      lot...there
      was
      a
      time
      when
      I
     
     
      could
      not
      laugh
      or
      sleep
      or
      eat
      or
      study
      or
      even
     
     
      cry...Life
      is
      a
      lot
      better
      now
      than
      when
      I
      was
     
     
      gripped
      helplessly
      in
      that
      crippling
      addiction
     
     
      and
      for
      somebody
      who
      has
      not
      experienced
      it
     
     
      they
      could
      never
      understand.
      I
      can
      feel
      for
      the
     
     
      people
      who
      are
      troubled
      by
      them
      and
      think
     
     
      perhaps
      Student
      Council
      should
      hold
      an
      infor-
     
     
      mation
      forum
      on
      the
      subject
      or
      the
      paper
      could
     
     
      publish
      a
      few
      more
      informative
      articles.
      I
      would
     
     
      like
      to
      help
      if
      I
      could
      and
      would
      like
      to
      hear
      from
     
     
      other
      students
      about
      this
      problem
      and
      wonder
      if
     
     
      they
      could
      submit
      their
      stories
      to
      the
      paper.
      If
     
     
      there
      are
      enough
      people
      interested,
      and
      this
     
     
      applies
      to
      Alcoholics
      Anonymous,
      there
      could
     
     
      be
      meetings
      arranged
      on
      the
      campus...you
      have
     
     
      to
      ask
      for
      these
      things,
      and
      don’t
      be
      afraid
      of
     
     
      asking
      for
      help
      or
      support
      because
      it
      is
      a
      great
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      sign
      of
      strength.

      To
      the
      Editor:
     
    

    
     
      This
      is
      in
      response
      to
      the
      letter
      written
      by
      Ms.
     
     
      Younker
      to
      correct
      the
      view
      of
      the
      ‘‘Fed
      up
     
     
      Women’’.
      If
      Ms.
      Younker
      had
      been
      paying
     
     
      attention
      to
      earlier
      editions
      of
      the
      X-Press,
      she
     
     
      would
      have
      seen
      that
      our
      names
      are
      signed
      in
     
     
      the
      October
      7
      issue.
      It
      was
      apparently
      the
     
     
      decision
      of
      the
      editor
      to
      use
      our
      joint
      names,
     
     
      that
      being
      the
      ‘‘Fed-Up
      Women’’
      (Editor’s
     
     
      note:
      one
      of
      the
      ‘‘fed-up’’
      authors,
      when
      asked
     
     
      about
      the
      last
      column,
      said
      they
      probably
      would
     
     
      not
      want
      their
      names
      used
      therein,
      and

      I
      would
      like
      to
      take
      full
      responsibility
      for
     
     
      anything
      written
      in
      the
      October
      14
      edition.
      My
     
     
      partner
      merely
      agreed
      with
      what
      was
      written.
      I
     
     
      will
      acknowledge
      that
      the
      article
      did
      trash
      the
     
     
      university,
      in
      particular,
      the
      professors.
      I
      would
     
     
      like
      to
      remind
      Ms.
      Younker
      that
      this
      is
      a
      free
     
     
      country
      last
      time
      I
      heard
      and
      everyone
      in
      it
      is

      any
     
     
      subjects
      whatsoever.
     
    

    
     
      To
      refresh
      Ms.
      Younker’s
      memory,
      I
      will
     
     
      leave

      Dear
      Editor;
     
    

    
     
      Once
      again,
      I
      am
      frustrated
      by
      the
      constant
     
     
      chatter
      in
      the
      Robertson
      Library.
      I
      have
      never
     
     
      imagined
      that
      an
      institute
      of
      higher
      learning
     
     
      would
      havea
      library
      in
      which
      students
      are
      at
      the
     
     
      mercy
      of
      socializing
      wannabees.
      It
      gets
      unnerv-
     
     
      ing
      to
      tell
      other
      people
      to
      shut-up
      on
      a
      daily
     
     
      basis.
      I
      hope
      like-minded
      students
      will
      get
     
     
      together
      and
      find
      a
      solution.
      Please,
      speak
      up
     
     
      and
      take
      back
      the
      library!
