W Kelvey To The Editor I was hoping that on this campus the students were all adults who had outgrown their childish habits of writing writing writing writ writ- ing on walls Unfortunately someone hasn't reached that maturity yet I was disgusted to find that tha t someone had scribbled profanity on the women's restroom walls in the CC building At this point in time I hope that whoever the immature imbecile is they will grow up and cease the meaningless habit If this student hasn't anything anything any any- ny- ny thing better to do while sitting I suggest that she use the time as an excellent study period Shanna Despain |
