some people here care. Some persons
around the campus have scaffed at send—
ing Christmas cards to the r:en in
Viet Nar, saying that when one is
faced with killing every day, Christmas
would seem like a joke. Rest assured
that the men in Viet Nam ha , Te a
clearer meaning of the worth of the
traditional "Peace on earth, good will

even begin imagine. Do take the time

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
No doubt about it-- This is a great
country and a great people-- a people
in danger of becoming the world's
biggest and flabbiest slobs, The
handwriting isn't on the wall, It is
in the slack muscles, bulging stomachs,
and growing passivity of American men,
women, and children.
This apathy shows in our daily
lives. We waste our time watching T.V.,
talking on the telephone, wasting time
while supposedly doing our homework,
or complaining that there's nothing
to do and no place to go. Well, isn't
that too bad -- because there are
places to go and things to do -- yes,
even here in Erie. For example, here
at Behrend there are foreign films
and cultural programs. Ok! So maybe
you're not interested. Why aren't you?
Oh, that's right I forgot you're too
busy and anyway why go sit through a
ballet? Why don't you like it? Oh,
I see what's—his—namp said he went ~ ncte
and didn't like it, so you know you
wouldn't like it either. Haw do you
know if you've never gone yourself?
