Nash gets an 'apology1
Dear Editor.
1 am writing to apologize to my dear
friend and honored opponent. Mr.
Lonnfe - Nash- H seems that i
misunderstood his letter dated Sepi.
19. Mr. Nash wrote his letter with a
touch of sarcasm. 1 thought he was
being serious.
Urifortunately. 1 also
misunderstood Mr. Nash's actions
when he ripped up the sign of the
protester who disagreed with him. 1
did not understand Mr. Nash's keen
sense of humor when he publicly
stated that the "liberals" should shut
up and move away. I also
misconstrued ail of his letters to the
editor as anger agalnsl people who
spoke out instead of sarcasm.
Forgive me, Mr. Nash, for my lack
of understanding sarcasm. As you
know. Democrats like myself have
not been laughing much lately.
Apologetically,
Bruce Brenna

For Americana,
seek fat bikers
Don't worry, be happy, keep ridin'
Marcus Musacchio
A very wise professor here, once
espoused that, rather than apple
pie. perhaps the best symbolof
Americana would be "Afatguy on
a motorcycle with a broad on the
back." You see, professors often
sayvery wisethlngs. Youjust
have to pick them ou t
discriminately.
The question posed in the class:
"Why can't more of us Just be fat.
dumb and happy, instead of just
fat and dumb?"
You balk at the ludicrous
statement, but think about what
the happy biker represents.
Without a doubt, he has it all. The.
sweaty, hairy belly that hangs
over his brass Harley-Davidson
belt buckle shows he's well
nourished. His "hog" provides
him with transportation;
mobility to get where he must.
And the "broad" on the back
provides needed companionship.
He doesn't complain about
missing the dairy shower, because
he's constantly bathing In the
blissful waters of ignorance. To
rephrase Crosby. Stills and Nash;
If you can't smell like the oryAjou
lovetlove the one you smell like.
Sustenance, transportation and
a little love (ora lot of sex}. That's
really all we need. Even the most
timid and red-faced members of
the class wouldn't dispute it.
Let me make one thing clear,
before hoardes of liberated
women attack me for the "broad
on the back." statement. It can
workboth ways, ladles.
As far as concerned, let the
women take a turn behind the
handlebars. I'll gladly lean back
against the peace-signed sissy bar
and hang on for the ride.
No matter where you ride, what
you ride or who you're riding
with, what's important is to keep
riding. Keep a solid hold on your
mate, let out a belch, feel ttie wind
flow through your hair and think
about all youVe got.
This ride, surprisingly, brings
me to the words of another wise
professor here, who upon
experiencing my stressed-out
view ofthe world, gave me this bit
of advice. "Take in a ballgame
now and then, enjoy a good beer,
and cultivate meaningful, lasting
friendships. That's all you can
dV- s
Unbelieveabty. I recall the
astute rantlngs of yet a third
CSUF professor, as he explained
people's need to escape the reality
ofthe world around us. We all do
it, both positively and negatively.
Whether it's by use of drugs,
watching hours of television,
even getting lost in books and
daydreaming.
I'm not condemning this
behavior. Some of it is very
necessary in a world that seems
so overwhelming; so hopeless.
I'm certainly not professing
that we stop caring, but
sometimes we all need to take a
break when we let the enormity of
the world's problems overwhelm
our limited capacity. We'll go
crazy if we take on too much
reality. Racism and sexism are
reality. War and hatred are
reality. Countries, churches and
neighborhoods fighting In the
name of God are reality. All that
really gets me down. Children
selling crack and the War on
Drugs are reality, and they both
get me down. Expensive beer, bad
food and slow evaluations on
campus are reality. That gets us
all down.
That's why once in a while. It's
important to reduce the whole
world down to my own basic
wants and needs.
In the times of great despair I
askmyselfwhat it could possibly
take to bring happiness into this
miserable existence. And-once in
awhile, when the wind tosses my
hair, my belly's full and warm
fingers gentry massage my aching
back, In-Just dumb enough to
believe that IVe already got it all.
