Dear Editor: Oh how sweet it is to hear someone who knows the Stones as well as Ido. Having said that I disagree with Kirby on some points. Still life - Is a great live album from the 1981 world tour. Itis an album which has Keith at his honest best. No one is pretending here. Keith is no great singer but it’s great to hear him sing back up on ‘*Time is on My Side’’. Youcan hear Keith’s guitar whine with feedback on several songs. This guitar work is the foundation of a world famous sound. ‘Going to a Go Go”’ and ‘‘Twenty Flight Rock’’ etal make this albuma great document of the tour. Emotional Rescue is not nearly as bad as Kirby says. ‘‘She’s so Cold’’ rips apart most songs you hear on AM radio. “Dirty Work’’ is one of my favourites, Corporate rock? You say this because Labatt’s Blue promoted itself by using a song from this album. Anyways you can bet yourass that Keith didn’t put pen to paper with Labatt’s INC. in mind. Don’t like this album? Well put on ‘‘Harlem Shuffle’’ and ‘‘Had it with you’ and wake up. Flashpoint offers a great version of ‘‘Satisfaction’’ along with *‘Paint it Black’’ and ‘‘Factory Girl’’ and there are others. Now I’ve made my points and I can listen to ‘‘It’s only Rock N Roll’’ over and over. Concerned Stones Freak DEAR EDITOR, during this year the people who live in the three esidences received a new cafeteria, Many of us were loping for a greater selection and better quality of vod, plus extended hours of the times that the cafete- 12 is actually open. Well, the quality of the food astically declined. French fries and a deli-bar are on he lunch menu practically every day. Whatever lappened to those apples and oranges? Instead they Ubstituted them with bread rolls that can be used as lockey pucks and jelio. And how about those line- bs? They are a dreadful reminder of a ‘‘ permission )pay late’’ line-up at registration day. Obviously 18 cafeteria was not designed to handle large quanti- es of people at one time, Now I know why so many a. moved down to Blanchard Hall or off of the 8. Dear Editor: The commentary by Colleen Easter in the last issue of the X-Press left me rather puzzled. Did she atttend some other lecture by Bernard Valcourt? He came to speak about the government’s new constitutional proposal. He also made it quite clear that he and the rest of the government were eager to recieve student’s input pertaining to what kind of Canada we would like to see in the future. I do not agree with most of the positions taken by his party but I think he deserves some credit for asking for this input, especially when he comes froma government that has cut funding for education to it’s bare bones and less. Students that spoke to Mr. Valcourt told him that a properly funded and accessible system of post-sec- ondary education was part of the future of Canada we envision. This system, we hope, would also be able to support desperately needed services like employment centres on campuses, which provide invaluable conselling and information on part-time, summer, and post-graduate employment. Perhaps Ms. Easter con- siders these concerns tp be ‘‘ narrow minded and bordering on selfish’’, but I really don’t think the vast majority of students do, and I know I don’t. A high quality and very accessible system of post- secondary education is very important forthe future of our country. Students expressed this to Mr. Valcourt. Cuts to badly needed federal fundings forprograms like education are helping to divide us further. Don’t tell me that this forum wasn’t ‘‘the time or the place’’ for us to speak out on the future of Canada in regards to education. Frankly, I’m insulted by (and tired of) this kind of simplistic cynicism and Ms. Easter’s questioning whether or not students care about the future od Canada.
