students he so outspokenly abhors.
I will complete my studies and will
graduate this May within his fouryear
prescribed time (send me
cigars, wine, and women). Big
deal! Right. What does that make
me or anyone else if he finishes a
four-year college study in three
years or in ten years.
Mungo is in a right position to
make such statements and to
ignore blindly the many unfortunate
students who are
desperately struggling and
working full- and part-time jobs to
help pay his or her way through
school. Also, he does not take into
consideration the pressure on the
typical college student, such as the
uncertainty of future job and
career prospects and the anxiety provoking
task of deliberating on
an area of study that will meet his
goals and expectations of a sound
and secure future.

say "here is my degree and I'm
here to serve the state" without
contact or social accessibility to a
politician or a local god of your
community.
His attack on too many graduate
students and his degradation of the
pursuit of students working on socalled
superfluous and unimportant
areas of study is entirely
unjustifiable and shows overtones
of dictatorship. He said the state
should not subsidize a student who
wants to get a Ph.d. in medieval
history, as an example. Maybe if
he would read several volumes of
medieval history and the Dark
Ages himself he will find out what
level of conscious and state of mind
he is in.
I am planning to attend graduate
school for "luxurious education"

Jimmy, won't you please pardon
Johnny? He was only doing what

He might not have thought that the

To the Editor:
Allow me to deliver a rebuttal to
Michael J. Mungo's remark
printed in your paper on Jan. 27 on
page 2. He said, "A graduate
degree is a nice thing, like a trip to
the Orient or buying a new
Cadillac. But the taxpayer should
not bear the expense of a luxury
education."
My own statement is, "A
graduate degree is a necessary
thing and the taxpayer, if he
desires capable people in the
national and state industries,
should be willing to maintain the
educational subsidy through the
master's level."
A person who has reached the *
master's level has the better
ability to keep up with technology.
He also has the maturity and experience
to be of some use to
society in his chosen field.
une 01 tne first things a B.S.
graduate learns when he steps out
into the world is that he knows
little, if anything. The holder of a
master's degree at least is trained
in some specialization.
Certainly, I too am against those
who would make going to school an
end in itself. However, those who
are in serious pursuit of the
knowledge and skills he needs in
order to serve the state and nation
should not be lumped into the
category of "professional student."
