      ...SO
      Sang
      Mr.
      Dress-up.
      I
      think
      some
      Sesame
      Street
     
     
      people
      in
      your
      neighborhood
      have
      sung
      this
      as
      well.
     
     
      What
      is
      she
      talking
      about?
      Well,
      please
      bear
      with
     
     
      me
      for
      just
      one
      second.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      was
      reading
      in
      another
      campus
      newspaper
      an
     
     
      editorial
      titled
      "Why
      do
      you
      keep
      writing
      us?".
      I
     
     
      think
      the
      poor,
      dedicated
      editorial
      staff
      was
      getting
     
     
      a
      little
      fed
      up
      with
      the
      amount
      of
      complainers
      who
     
     
      were
      Ccritisizing
      their
      work,
      and
      at
      the
      same
      time,
     
     
      doing
      nothing
      to
      help
      out
      with
      the
      publication
     
     
      process.
      Well,
      I’m
      happy
      to
      say
      that
      the
      letters
      to
     
     
      this
      publication
      have
      been,
      for
      the
      most
      part,
      great,
     
     
      and
      student
      involvement
      with
      the
      paper’s
      also
      pretty
     
     
      good,
      although
      we
      never
      have
      too
      many
      volunteers.
     
     
      (If
      you
      have
      too
      much
      time,
      please
      come
      down
      and
     
     
      visit
      me
      at
      my
      office,
      and
      I’ll
      fix
      you
      up.)
     
    
   
   
    
     
      What
      I’m
      trying
      to
      say,
      is
      that
      I
      WANT
      you
      to
     
     
      write
      us!
      This
      is
      where
      Mr.
      Dress-up’s
      song
      comes
     
     
      in,
      see.
      |
      know
      there
      are
      a
      lot
      of
      people
      out
      there
     
     
      who
      have
      something
      to
      get
      off
      his
      or
      her
      chest,
      so
     
     
      I
      want
      you
      to
      clap
      your
      hands
      and
      stomp
      your
      feet.
     
     
      Believe
      me,
      it
      can
      be
      very
      therapeutic
      to
      take
      out
     
     
      your
      aggravations
      on
      pen
      and
      paper.
