What concerns me is the "holierthan-thou" attitude that you have spoken. It is also bothersome that you have placed a label on me which reads "immoral, decadent, alcoholic, and unintelligent." Please sir, I personally can do without your simple-minded stereotypes and generalizations. I find them both distasteful and atrocious. The letters have been accusations followed by defenses. Gentlemen, I refuse to fall into your little trap. I will defend neither myself nor the Greek system to vou as vou obviouslv r ? tf know so little about both that I fear it might be "over your head." I do not pretend that I am better than you and I cannot presume that the avenue you have chosen for your college career is superior to mine. So why do we have all of these problems? With the state of the nation and the world as it is, I for one would much rather read letters con cerning the presidential election, the Iranian crisis, the draft, the Russian occupation or some other topic which would help to enlighten me further on the worthwhile world situation. Or does something like the energy crisis take backseat to the ever prevailing Greek-Independent struggle? Mr. RUsnia, congratulations on your purchase of a dictionary! Perhaps next you should delve into the idea of a thesaurus. Susan K. Aiken
