Other Retraction

The Other Press does not
usually print duragatory
swear words between by-
lines. The by-line Richard
(the asshole) Moore last
week should have read Rich-
ard Moore. The Other Press
is sorry for any confusion this
might have caused.

No courses

Montreal to go to school. |
tried to get into the Social
Services program but due to
circumstances, | was unable
to get in until next Fall, 1983.
This means | have a year
wasted. | figured | would try
to continue my education by
taking some courses in Crim-
inology to better myself. |
was also turned down; all the

’ courses were full.

| can’t express my disap-
pointment on paper; what’s a
person supposed to do in my
situation? I’ve come to Doug-
las for an education as a full
time student. But with the
courses I’ve been stuck with,
| wouldn’t even classify my-
self as a decent part-time
student. Is this what it takes
to get an education?

By Glen Nazaruk
there is an increasing lack
of faith in the contemporary
forms of Government in Can-
ada. A lack of control over
the present economy and the
future of the country is
causing widespread concern.
As opposed to previous
years, people who were ord-
inarily non-vocal in their
political views are now loudly
supporting political reform.
This increasing desire for
change in our country is
causing an interesting devel-
opment in contemporary

Lottery tickets good

| would like to give the
writer of ‘lottery tickets’
another view. To use some
simple examples, I'll draw
from a couple of experiences
| had about a year ago. | was
the coach of a womens’
broom-ball team. Now if you
know anything about ama-
teur sports, you'll know that
money is always in short
supply. Ice time, at $120,000
an hour, is very expensive,
so my team, made up of
working people and stu-
dents, chose to raise money
with a Grey Cup Pool, a form
of lottery. We made a thou-
sand dollars in the pool. Four
lucky people won some mo-
ney with their small invest-
ment, and we were able to
pay for our ice. Another time
we applied to the provincial

Canadian society to take
place.

Today people who had a
desire to take a different
stance from the rest of the
population are now finding
their particular form of indiv-
iduality infringed upon. No
longer can they take a loud
vocal attitude and expect to
be different from the
masses.

The next logical step will
be a new form of anarchy
called the quiet revolution.

lottery fund for travel expen-
ses to attend a tournament in
Kamloops. We got the grant
which helped us pay for gas
and hotel costs. The students
on the team couldn’t have
gone without the grant»
You say that a lottery is a
form of taxation. You left out
the key word, voluntary. You
don’t have to buy if you don’t
want to. Give people a little
credit for intelligence. I’m
sure most college students
can determine what the odds
are on winning; besides, who
are you to tell people how to

spend their money. You are
entitled to your own opinion,
but people are entitled to
spend their money in a way
they see fit. You see, this is
still a free country.

municate on a political level.
These people will now be
happy because their main
reason for doing so is to be
totally different from the
rest of society. We hope that

no form of feedback the
