Show Page The Dixie Sun 8 Some choice opinions from the opinion chief After awakening this morning from a dream where my father let me borrow his new car and I wrecked it (not to mention got shot at with a 9 mm by my girlfriend) I wondered if I might be under a bit of stress. Moving out, getting a new job, and having to (I mean getting to) write a column for this newspaper throughout the new quarter seemed like a pretty obvious answer to my early morning suspicions. So, instead of stressing further by trying to think of a way to draw attention to this fine piece of literature, I casually poured my bowl of Cheerios and figured would just use the word sex about 14 times in the first three sentences. As it turns out. I've only used it once in the third paragraph. No big surprise. As an underprivileged few know, things rarely go as planned.

Also, just because one of the three pinball machines in the new student union building looks old and advertises 25 cents doesn't mean it takes 25 cents to play it. to your quarter if it Say good-by- e was the last one you had, but don't worry, eventually somebody else will add their one quarter to yours and get to play a game for the advertised price.

If it's more like a harassing joke, than I'll try to say something about it right here. Does anyone else think $65 is a little much to pay for a used book that when they say used, they mean for the last 10 years? And, if I were a football player at this college, I would certainly be thinking about defending myself from the letter that's residing on the opinion page right now. All you have to do is take your letter or obnoxious comment to the newspaper room, located in the alley of the first student union building by the campus radio station. (We call it the dungeon. To the administration, that's a hint.) When you get there, hand it to the first person who will admit to being on this staff. It will be much appreciated. It would seem logical to end this week's session with a corny reference to the true reason for last night's dream (and believe me. I'm sorely tempted) but suffice it to say that I'll just plead with all of you one last time to bring forth all those things you think should be public knowledge. This newspaper's here for you, and besides, most of my dreams cant go into print.
