through local and national advertising. The Other Press
is a member of Canadian University Press and of the
national advertising cooperative, Campus Plus.

Thank you

No, it’s not Thanksgiving, but many thanks are in order.

First off, a big Thank You! to all the people who came to our pub
night. If you were having half as much fun as you looked like you
were having, you must have had a very good time. Unfortunately,
judging by the amount of alcohol we sold, some of you out there
may not remember just how much fun you had....

Thanks next to the Student Society, without whose kind
assistance we would have had to hold the dance in Royal Towers...
Thanks also to the guys and gal from security who, fortunately,
were not required to do anything drastic....

And, of course, great big sticky Thank Yous to all the wonderful
people who volunteered their time and effort to make the night a
success. You'll be pleased to know that we made a substantial
chunk, which will go towards our new typesetter!

Thanks also to the Liquor Board people for not shutting us down. =f

We still find it strange that Miller can print ‘‘beer’’ on the side of
their cans in ads, but we can’t print ‘‘beer’’, ‘‘drink’’, ‘‘draft’’, or i"
similar words in our dance ads?

hmm...the issue 1s late again, but we're used to that. And 75
it’s very nice to see so many nes names, so many young .
innocent recruits as yet untainted by the rampant cynicism "
Which so demoralizes journalists after six months or so in’;.
tthe business.
So, if you note a freshness; a je ne sais quoi vitality to’
these pages, it could be because those who laid them out *
Wwere infused with the spirit of the muse...or it might just be "= Fa
they didn’t really know what they were doing. Anyway
Muchos thanx to all those selfless individuals who helped
make the O.P. pub night a smashing success! Especial
Thank yous to Steve, Warren, Kevin, Gord, Jennie, Angie, §
and Mark for bravery and devotion beyond the call of duty. im

Access lacking

| have a complaint about the school
cafeteria. It is too far away from some
classrooms for handicapped people to
| know, as | am one of those

pains in my knees, and can’t walk too
far. | also have a heart condition, and
this also stops me from walking
too far. Often | would like to have a
hot meal and a cup of coffee, but |
don’t like to attempt to walk down
there for the reasons |’ mentioned
above.

For those of us who can’t get down
there why not put vending machines
on the other floors so we could at least
get a cup of coffee and a muffin to
eat. It would certainly be appreciated
by the handicapped people in Douglas
College such as myself.

Getting To The Cafeteria,

| have been writing letters to you
for some time now. In fact, | can
honestly state without fear of contri-
diction that | am your only regular
writer. Without me you wouldn’t have
a letters page. Imagine that, a whole
page completely blank.

| live in a small North Vancouver
home and survive by eating the
plankton | find in my tap water. | am
poor but you seem to be rich. Oh sure
you look poor, but hey, why would
you have to look so poor unless you
were hiding your true wealth.

I’ll be short and sweet, | want a cut.
| want to hop on the O.P. gravy train.
Come on. | don’t ask a lot. How about
a grand a letter.
| hope you'll think about it. If the
answer is yes, don’t bother to call
because | don’t have a phone. Just
yell real loud out the nearest window.
| hear real good.

All my love,

ALte
