flwpip p wp w Spicier Menus Sir: It's been said that variety is the spice of life. I hope this is true because I have recently added var- iety to the cafeteria's menu by accepting as caterer the Lone Star food and beverage distributors. I think Lone Star will spice the menu considerably. Neile Fry It's All The Same Sir: I am glad to see that you have not changed anything. I attended ACC when there were only twelve students one teacher eighteen dogs and two night watchmen. We had the same Grill (WWI tempor- ary) and you still have it now. It makes it so much easier for us oldsters to get around if nothing is changed. Amien Ancient Alive And Kicking Sir: Just a note to let you know how much I enjoyed my speaking engagement on your campus last spring. The enthusiastic applause boos and catcalls were heartwarming. It was also gratifying to know that the John Birch Society is still alive and kicking. (I thought they'd kick my teeth out.) Also it was a great privilege to know that I was run out of town by some of the finest track men in the nation. Please excuse my tardiness in writing but I was only recently re- leased from the hospital. Dr. Harold Taylor His account of the intracacies of chapel cutting caused such inflam- mation among administrative cir- cles that reliable sources suggest a definite relation between his controversial work"ajvjp0his dis- appearance. Russ Williams It's a Hoax Sir: This whole plans for devel- opment program is a hoax. More money has been spent by the de- velopment committee on stamps than on the new sidewalk along- side the campus school. Auntie Cooperation Static Indication Sir: Statistics indicate that peo- ple who are going to chapel less are more inclined to be Republi- cans than the carpetbaggers of fifty years ago. r Fble tfaulter Sir: Winston Waldorf 21 Texas born; hard living journalist pioneer chapel cutter and student of Abi- lene Christian recently published a book "How to Cut Chapel for Fun and Profit." Ravin' Raven Sir: Take a lesson from a banished ex-Optimist editor.. Give up! Don't try to pull off this fiasco. It will only bring you trials and tribula- tions unheard of in the journalists world. You will be prayed upon spat at and kicked around by the higher-ups. It's not worth it! I know I was there. Jim Raven A Letter From The .--"" i i? - PUBLISHER rtW7YVU. 3k. Gu loaJMsesn Every editor whether of maga- zines or of books is soon aware of the sharp divergence of taste which exists between readers of a college age and those of a more advanced age group. This diverg- ence is related in many forms at ACC. For instance in reaction from both groups to lectures that have been given on the campus; in respective attitudes toward the role of fashions in morality; in at- titudes of each as to the functions of this school; and it may soon be proved in the attitude of each con- cerning the role and purpose of this magazine. The purpose for those who miss it is humor. Our first audience must be the student and so it fol- lows logically that the faculty and administration will bear the brunt of what we have to say. How to "achieve our objective was long a topic of discussion by the staff. One large faction urged that we simply present a "One Day with the Upper Echelon" type of story laden with cold facts. The argument that every day functions of the faculty and administration are the purest form of humor. However a moderate minute minority triumphed with the strongj point that while humorous these actions'-have ceased 'io be fuh'hy and "just wouldn't lather." Lampoon then must be our technique. The danger we know is great; but the risk is its own reward. Pet hobbies doctrines be- liefs and attitudes of many im- portant people are- scrutinized and many foibles and peculiarities are- examined. Some people will not like what we do; others may chor- tie with glee. Personally we like Ghortles.
