Show CHRONICLE MAIL BOX POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Editor: I object to your accepting Mr. Burnham's letter to the editor re: Mr. Gunn as a presidential candidate. candi-date. (April 14) What it amounts to is an unpaid political advertisement at the expense ex-pense of the other candidates who may not be able to find a spokesman spokes-man as talented as Mr. Burnham. Comments about candidates (other than editorial) should be allowed only in platform statements state-ments and advertisements in the Chronicle. Warren P.

Craig Peterson AUTOGRAPHS ANYONE? Editor: I would like to congratulate the now famous misrepresented Miss Kane for having her picture on the front page of the Chronicle. It should bring her much fame and fortune. I hope one day soon we will be informed as to when autographed auto-graphed pictures will be available remembering the fact that it isn't every day a freshmen's name is misspelled. David L. Burkholder SENIOR PRIVILEGES Editor: It seems to me that those in charge of elections ta ASUU offices of-fices in their efforts to insure a fair and valid election have failed in one major respect. How can they say that it is fair when Scott Robertson and other seniors are denied the right to vote for senior class president. It is illogical to assume that Mr. Robertson is eligible elig-ible to be president and yet is not eligible to vote for president. The purpose of senior class president is to plan graduation and yet many who will graduate and are therefore concerned are denied the right to vote for their choice of representatives to plan this event. I imagine it is to late to do anything any-thing other than protect the validity valid-ity of the results of the election, however, I feel that since many who should by right be allowed to vote were denied this privilege a question arises as to the validity of this election. I feel that there should be an investigation made of this and steps be taken to correct this injustice. Edward T. Wells ARMY-NAVY WHITEWASH Editor: We, the Midshipmen of the NR-OTC, NR-OTC, have seen the Cadets of the AROTC display apathy unparalleled unparallel-ed by any group on campus. To encourage en-courage the AROTC Cadets to participate par-ticipate more in campus activities and to show just how gung-ho the Midshipmen are, we of the NR- OTC challenge the AROTC to a contest to be held on 3 May, 1968 at 1430, at the block "U." We know that we can whitewash our half of the "U" faster and better J than they. (No brag, just fact.) Midshipman Commander Max T. Kieffer Executive Officer, Midshipman Battalion GOD BLESS ROTC Editor: God bless the apathetic ROTC programs. Somebody needs to. We as independent students wish to express our sincere congratulations congratula-tions that they finally realize there is a whitewash. We humbly state that we have organized this activity activ-ity for the past thirty years and appreciate any and all active support. sup-port. Dana Anderson The Intercollegiate Knights Editor: For those of you who still hate the University Book Store: As usual at the first of the quarter I was met with the surprise of how much it costs to buy books on this campus. In a history class, I was assigned to read eight paperback books (reasonably about $2 or $2.50 a piece, that's about $16 for one class). If this isn't shock enough I found that the Book Store Store only had on stock six of the books I needed. So I dutifully duti-fully stood in line to place a special spec-ial order for the two remaining books. Three weeks later I receive word that the books have arrived, only now that the quarter is nearly half gone and one needs the books to pass the course (midterms in about a week) the same comparable books ($2.00) are now worth $4.50. The cost of these two lxoks alone is more than half of what I had expected to pay. The total cost $25.00 for eight books for one five-hour class. I can on!y ask: Why i.-, this allowed al-lowed to happen at the Universii. Why are those people able to take advantage of the student in such a disgusting manner? C. II. Greemv.',.,J |
