What used to be a relatively safe road to the outside world has completely deteriorated into a mass of gigantic boulders surrounding and hiding numerous chasms and potholes. When I first hit the trouble area I thought I had strayed onto the grass and hit .Converse Hall broadside; however, when I finally recovered from the initial shock I realized I was still on our infamous Burma Road." This initial shock was shortly thereafter by a second, greater shock when I discovered that the right side of my car was slightly dented in, thus preventing entering or leaving through . . the right side door.

I realize that by e n t i n g this constructive criticism that I will be subject. to such comments as, He must have been doing 60, or, He probably fell asleep at the wheel. However, in the face of these attacks I feel I must go on. I realize that the issue of Burma Road is an old, thoroughly discussed, seemingly unimportant subject, but it seems to me, my car agrees wholeheartedly, that something must be done about this thing we call a road. I am aware of the budget that the school is trying to maintain and the shortage of available funds, but there must be some sane; inexpensive way of righting this deplorable situation. I dont wish .to. reiterate all of the past arguments for and against repair of this road, but perhaps by mutual of students and administration we can do something to improve on a issue of importance. .1 see you being dispensed to the public through a purple pump at 356 per gallon I see...
