(Yes, this is about the graduation cere¬ monies again.) You people frustrate the hell out of me! I'm afraid we don't fit the title of "the future of America" at all. If we do, I'm movin' out of the country. Apparently, you are all con¬ tent to just mosey through life, letting whatever powers that be screw you over. You people are about as easy toget worked up about things as a stalk of celery. Doesn't anything phase you? Do you ever get excited about ANYTHING? (Sorry, the way people get excited at the opportunity to call an incident a "racial issue" doesn't count.) Or do you think your doing enough putting your trash in the nearest garbage can? Honestly, I hope I get a few responses here. At least that way I know you have the ca¬ pacity to get excited. As a mat¬ ter of fact, I INVITE you to respond! Go ahead; call me names! Show me what you're made of! Can't you see that the fact that hardly anyone gets excited about things around here is not only the problem with CSUF but the problem with the entire dry? There is nothing being done about changing our graduation ceremonies. The higher-ups probably knew the students would gripe a bit, then settle down, then go shuffling about their business. Then they could go on doing whatever it is they do up there. "How con- veeeeeoient!'' I understand that the latest excuse keeping their focus from graduation is the budget. They're too busy trying to work that out. I'd love to know why that s an excuse! When there's a budget problem, who gets shafted? I'll give you a multiple choice: a) the students; b) the students; c) the students or d) the students. Get the picture yet? (By the way, welcome back to the50s, when notmany people could afford to go to college.) There doesn't seem to be a good solid reason for them not to be able to work out a system for graduation. But, they're not even going-to bat an eye. I know for a fact that's what is going to happen but I have by no means come to accept it. I just want you all to think about this for a while before deciding whether or not you're going to continue to settle for mediocrity. Vintage Days planners should consider distances traveled by alumni Every year I have made it a point-to set aside the weekend to attend Vintage Days activi¬ ties on campus and always enjoy the Craft Fair (which just seems to be growing each year) and Boom Town games. I commend the committee in putting on the Boom Town Carnival during the day so outsiders (off campus) and alumni could take part. May I suggest that the com¬ mittee or university consider its policy on not allowing pa¬ trons to the Sunday show (this year Delia Reese) to leave once upon entering. There are many who come from a distance to attend and alumni who mis year wished to go out for the Crafts Fair and not allowed to do so. Some stamp or ticket reentry policy should be con¬ sidered. This consideration would be appreciated. Also it was disappointing to not be able to purchase the $5 ticket price for the concert on Saturday or Sunday either at the ticket booth at the Stu¬ dent Union or at the Vintage table during the Craft Fair. As 1 inquired about purchasing the reduced ticket at the Vin¬ tage table and was told not available. There are many who come from out of town who would like to purchase on the Satuday or Sunday while at¬ tending the other various events. Please consider other alumni who are not on cam¬ pus on a daily basis. Again thanks for another wonderful event for the com- munity,students,and alumni.
