With the recent assassination atlempt on
the life of President Reagan, 1 am writing
this letfer 10 express my deep regrets about
the whole situation, My other purpose in

with those who can joke and wish the man
dead, 1 feel this is uncalled for. Granted,
many do not like the man but that is no
reason for wishing he were dead.

insensitive people. The man is-our presi

We found our friend Melnick sitting

Choking back tears, he described his
Weekend. A friend had fixed him up on a
blind date, with a girl named Rhonda, who
met him at the door dressed in the latest
“Western” outfit, including chaps and spurs.
She even gave off a distinct odor of
barbecue, which she explained was the latest

He took her fo the ballet, and chalked up

so he likes to think, and a great majority go
to this university, Melnicks are kind and in-

gave out grades, the Melnicks would get a

Melnick tells you all this by way prefacing
