Mikey hates socialism

Dear Editors:

It appears to me that the
students of Douglas Col-
lege have a very grave
problem to deal with. The
gravity stems, not from the
fact that the problem is so
monstrous, though it cer-
tainly is, but from the
refusal on the part of most
people to recognize it as a
problem. The problem is
the existence of the ‘‘vogue
socialist’’, not only at
Douglas College, but at
colleges all over the free
world.

While the concept of the
‘‘yvogue socialist’’ is dis-
gusting, it is particularly
frustrating experiencing
these mindless individuals
first hand. They are, as
socialism itself is, a disease
which continues to infect
the minds of students
everwhere. These people,
who for the most part
profess to know a great
deal, have only a very

so willing

rudimentary understanding
of eco-political systems.
They are among the most
pretentious, and therefore
amusing, people one could
ever hope to engage in a
discussion and will almost
always, when discussing
their limited ideas, bring
up some fabricated story
about the success. of
socialism in this part of that
part of the world. These
same people haven’t a clue
as to what happened in
England or Sweden.

One may ask how it is
that these people, who are
to draw an
audible graphic of- their
own ignorance still manage
to exist. The answer is a
simple one which involves
three major groups within
‘‘vogue socialism’’: a guilt-
ridden subsection of the
middle class, the ‘‘under-
dogs’’ or working class,
and the truly vogue
socialist who are aware

merely that socialism was
popular years ago and so it
must be the eco-political
doctrine to. swear one’s
allegiance to.

If you are outraged by
the contents of this letter,
then you are probably a
‘‘“vogue socialist’’ and are
probably too wrapped up in
your simplistic thought to

realize that you are,
indeed, part of the
problem.

Students
cheat

Dear Editors:
From the position of a
student who doesn’t wish to
be a ratfink, | would like to
suggest that teachers
should remain in the
classroom during examina-
tions. Many students cheat.
