Mobility bogged
down in junk -
My advice to you if you li vc out on/
your own is don't collect mo -e /
possessions than will fitjg^a^ ,
backpack! /T\
I just went through the tribulation of
moving to a new apartment this
weekend, and was amazed to find out
how much JUNK I own.       /
A fleet of U-Hauls would have
probably been the best way to handle the
whole situation, but unfortunately the
only vehicle I had access to was a
Pontiac Sunbird with fold-down seats.
Sorting through various collections
and memorabilia which is a fancy word
for junk, it dawned on me that Tm a
pack rat.
About the only thing I didn't find was
Jimmy Hoffa's remains. Geraldo Rivera
would have had a field day with all the
stuff I had stored over the years. It
would have certainly been more
entertaining than Capone's crypt
I guess it's some sort of genetic
disorder. Growing up, I used to always
wonder why my Father saved every
little item he ran across. This was before
I had the pleasure of throwing
something away and then needing the
exact same item just as the garbage
truck was disappearing into the horizon.
A few times of doing that and it
becomes like parting with a child
heading off to college.
Of course, it becomes scary when you
sort through the pile of items you feel
are necessary and find articles such as a
light bulb filament old name tags from
work, dead batteries and a card telling
you what the melting temperature of
swiss cheese is.
The key is keeping your sense of
humor as you haul 50 pound boxes of
this stuff up and down two flights of
stairs.
The only good thing about moving,
and it is questionable if there is anything
good about moving, is that it forces you
to rid through this stuff and make
decisions that you had put off at your
previous residence.

PSYCHOS sorry
Dear Editor,
This letter is in regards to an un¬
fortunate incident that happened on the
intramural football field Wednesday,
Oct 21 in a GAME between P.T. Ex¬
press and a PSYCHO team under the
name Silver Bullets.
Being a player on the Silver Bullets as
well as president of the PSYCHOs, I
wish to express a sincere apology to the
player on the P.T. Express and^also to
one of the referees of the game.
I want the P.T. Express to know that
our organization does not condone such
activity and that this matter was dealt
with immediately by the PSYCHO's.
Since we had no precedent to look for
guidance, the member in question has
been put on indefinite probation, mean¬
ing for as long as he is a PSYCHO, one
more mistake on his part and^he will lose
his membership. . s^
For future reference, all members are
being informed that violent outbursts
during a PSYCHO function is cause for
immediate expulsion from the organ¬
ization. Once again, my apologies.
Sincerely,
Keith W.Guthrie
^ PSYCHO President
In mourning
Dear Editor,        x
r.
I am not writing in response to any
controversies that are raging on the
CSUF campus at this moment Frankly,
I'm to upset to care. Tm writing, instead,
in mourning of the loss of a friend of
mine and many others on campus.       j
I'm talking, of course, about the death
of one of the greatest bands in history —
The Smiths. It's so hard for me to put my
feelings into words — I loved this band
so much. Suffice to say that The Smiths'
demise marks the end of one the best
songwriting teams of this decade —
. Morisse/ and Johnny Marr. When it
comes to music, nothing (and I mean
nothing) can compare to "What Dif¬
ference Does It Make?" "The Queen is
Dead," or "Girlfriend in a Coma."
And I take some comfort in the fact
that Johnny Marr will continue making
music with the Pretenders (though Chris-
sy Hynde's voice makes my eardrums
bleed) and Morissey will begin a sold
career.
"But things will still never be the same
for me or for The Smiths' legion of fans.
(There were 42 of us, at last count) here
at CSUF.
We miss you already.

No more Rooney
DearEditor,
During the past two weeks, your
readers have been exposed to two of the
darkest areas of professional sports by
columnist Jon Matsune. Namely, the dis¬
crepancies in team division placements
(Atlanta in the Western, etc.) and inap¬
propriate team names. This makes me
wonder what incredible insights Mr.
Matsune will shdw us next. Here are
some possibilities:
•Misplaced Mascots: Jon could tell us   ^/
how. much he hates seeing a chicken^
represent the San Diego Padres.
•Arena Organists: Jon could tell us all
who's the best and who isn't even close.
•Ugly uniforms: Mr. Matsune could
explain why the Chicago White Sox and
Cleveland Browns still have room for
improvement.
Finally, one last suggestion. Quit the
Andy Rooney rdhtine, Jon. Try report¬
ing on some real sports news once in a
while or have your column moved to
"Features" where it belongs.
