A TV generation
There's a silent generation out there
which is more concerned with security
than integrity, with conforming than
performing, with imitating than
creating."
Yeah, right. I know what you're
too old-fashioned. They don't
understand you like your paper mache
friends, right?
Ocooooohh. Mad? Truth hurts.
Tm not nailing a small group, but
rather 78 million Americans between the
thinking, "No way. that's not me. I go to k ages of about 19 and 35 —the Baby
school I hold down a safe job, I take
some chances. Last month, I started
making payments on my new 300 ZX.
And Tm not spoiled either. Dad made
me mow the lawn twice just so I could
go to Europe for the summer. I don't
need security. I'm anon-comform:st. I
don't copy what my friends do."
Think again, airhead.
YouJr^fakekYou want a nicer car, a
nicer-looking niate, more cash, and most
of all, you want your MTV.
"Next up, Cyndi Lauper and her
world premiere video, but right now
here's some Bon Jovi and 'Dead or
Alive."*
You can almost taste it. Eighteen
different things going on all at once on
one screen. Makes you want to rush
home, open a Corona, and call your
friends Bif and Tadfcver for Nachos,
doesn't it?
Dad's a big jerk, isn't he? And Mom's
Boomers.
This group is shaping our entire
world. They're changing thi ngs, ■
creating things, moving into senior
management positions, and... they're a
bunch of flakes who forgot where they
came from.
They want things now, fast.
Steinbeck? Hemingway? "Du-u-u-u-u-
de. I remember those guys. I met 'em at
a kegger in Santa Barbara."
"No, you're wrong, dude. They played
with Ozzie before Black Sabbath. I swear
man. I was there."
You know the type.
It's a feeling of euphoria. That is,
when you've got the world and your
Visa card at their mercy. Too bad,
though, it defeats most of the things you
were told to cherish; like your Scott Baio
posters, your Mom's burnt,casserole,

Dear Editor, •
To the personwho knocked Harvie
Schnitzer's column, I have just one thing
to say to him and that is the fact that her
column is the one bright and shining
thing in your paper and I say more
power to her if she can take common
things out of life and make it funny.
* I look forward to each week just to
read her column. There are too many
unhappy things in this world.
Keep it up Harvie Schnitzer. We love
you. %

Shame on Bill
Dear Editor,
Ouch! Bill, your latest article really
hurt. Of all subjects you could -have
chosen to attack, you picked Christian¬
ity. Well Bill, I consider myself a Chris¬
tian, and since you need a defintion of
Christianity, let me give you mine.
First, a little personal history: Quite a
few years ago, when I was 18, I had a
philosophy of life that'was basically "live
and let live," and "If it feels good, do it."
This kind- of life did not satisfy me;
however, something was missing. That
something turned out to be someone —
Jesus Christ. I have heard the story
before, but this time it made sense.
Here it is: All people are in a state of
separation from God. Through dis- .
obedience, we can't have fellowship
from him. This condition can be
compared to a death sentence. God
didn't want us to die, but the penalty had
to be administered. The only solution
was fof someone to take the punishment
for us. Jesus Christ, the son of God,
chose to take our punishment for us. He
died OUR death on the cross! Then he
rose physically from the grave — never
to dje again. If we trust in him, we can
have this gift of life — and that's what 1
decided to do. • .
Now Fm a follower of Jesus. He lives
with me aria In me, and yes, the emp¬
tiness is gone. So you see/ Bill,
Christianity begins and ends with Jesus
Christ — following him, serving him,
viewing things through his eyes. It
really is a life-challenging experience.
Does this mean that Christians are
perfect? Hardly. We make mistakes.
Sometimes BIG mistakes. But the
relationship is there and it is real. And
Bill, please don't be too hard on those of
us who say a word or sing a word about
Jesus. It's a message you certainly won't
hear in the classroom and not many of
us are provided with a weekly platform
in the Collegian.
Sincerely,
Robert Edwards
