Ask
Dear Readers,
I was cleaning out ;My mailbox from last semester, and I found
two unanswered letters. Sorry it took so long to respond. If you can
remember back as far as Thanksgiving when a somewhat embittered
Snow White asked, "Is it old fashioned and obsolete to wait for
Prince Charming....?" Well I'm here to tell you, Snow White, there
really is a Prince Charming, and he writes:
Dcar Louanne,
You asked, if there are still any Prince Charmings out here....well„
hat I am.
My former friends have been talking about sex since they were
high school freshmen. Meanwhile, I asked myself why a-girl with
any common sense at all would even want to talk to these guys. The
way they treated girls was (and still is) unbelievable. Talk about
people who "Love 'ern and leave 'cm!" These guys gave new meaning
to the word "asshole."
rthink if there is mutual love and respect, then there is no need to
think about "how far you can get." If you're with someone you think
you love, and you' think she loves you, then try just sleeping
together, no sex. If there is something special it shouldn't make a bit
of diffrence. To me, making love to someone who really loves you
should be the greatest experienc.e in a relationship, not just
something :',vie4Q.e..vp,CY:El4.44.o*-7.....
Dear Snow White. and Prince Charming,
I sure hope you' find each other. • ,
Dear Lonanne,
I have a terrine girlfriend. We have been - seeing radii other for over
a year and everything is going veal. except..
There is this other gitl to whom I am really attracted. I don't want
to mess up my present relationship, but I find myself thinking about
the other girl all ofihe tithe.
Dating both girls is out of the question - that never really works.
I want to stay with my steady girlfriend, but I am't.get,the other girl
off of my mind. What can I do? tr ; •
Dear Insane,
I hope haven't waited so long to answer that
they've locked
. you up somewhere. From where I sit, it,
lookS like you've got three alternatives.
I. You can take the coward's way out, cheat on your
- girlfriend and , hope you don't get caught. Then you'll
only have feelings of guilt OR your mind all of the
time.
2. You can tell your girlfriend you think both of
you should get- to -know others to help find out if you
really are meant for each other. (Would you believe I
tried that on my husband before •we were married and
we've been together 27 'years?)
3. You can avoid that other girl and wear a rubber
band on your wrist. Give yourself a' whack' every time
she pops into your mind and get busy doing something
else-, Believe it or not:it- works on all kinds of
'obseisitais. Of course - I =fall 'guarantee you • Won't get
locked up if -you •-go around 'constantly whacking
4roarrself with a rubber .band. ' • .
'Okay finds; rzn toady fir new letters. Send them to me at the

Minority College Enrollment Drops
CP S Despite intense
recruiting efforts, there were
fewer black men on American
campuses in 1986 than there had
been in 1976; a new census
claimed.
Some 470,000 black - men
were enrolled in colleges in 1976,
the American Council on
Education (ACE) reported Jan.
16, compared to 436,000 in
1986.
The ACE's David Merkowitz
found the decline "alarming."
The enrollment of black
women, by contrast, stayed about
the same 5.2 percent of the total
U.S. college student population
it had been 10 years earlier.

Let's see now: the moon is
round, the sun is round, the rest
of the planets are round and the
stars are round. Gee, DID WE
THINK THAT WE WERE
SPECIAL OR SOMETHING?
Toss it.
Halloween: A pretext to dress
funny, act strange and stuff our
faces with candy (it almost
sounds like Valentines Day,
doesn't it?). Let's keep it.

Thanksgiving: A good reason
to go off of your diet. Everyone
gets to celebrate this one except

To bring in more black men,
the ACE's report said campuses
must develop "comprehensive
programs designed to recruit,
retain and graduate a more
culturally and racially diverse
population."
Most colleges have been
trying to do that for years.
But Marilyn Frahm, a
spokeswoman for Michigan's
Saginaw Valley State University,
said pressures • to increase
academic standards may have
sabotaged those goals.
Both the ACE report and a
separate study issued by the Joint
Center for Political Studies
maintain another reason for the

be locked in Julia Child's kitchen
with Julia Child until he weighs
as much as his hair, or a Yugo,
whichever comes first.

decline might be attributed to
retreat in civil rights enforcement
in higher education under the
Reagan administration.
The Joint Center study by
Gary Orfield, a University of
Chicago professor, says black
enrollment peaked in 1980 at 1.1
million as a result of the
government's commitment to
enforcing civil rights during the
1960 s and 19705.
Under Reagan, Orfield said,
staffing for the Department of
Education's Office of Civil
Rights was cut by one fourth and
its budget reduced by $2.8
million.
WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT
THE WONDERFUL GUY
THEY'RE SEEING!!
Really, Christmas is my
favorite holiday. And the Ayatola
Kohmeni is my idea of the
perfect baby sitter. I suppose we
could keep it, as long as someone
does my shopping for me.
Please?
And there you have it. No
fuss, no muss, no hassle. One
last note: all Federal holidays,
like National Flashlight Week
(I'm not kidding!) would be
eliminated. Of course my
