Tie — :
IT see it...

by. Stephanie Wiebe

-I was watching a five-year-
-old in a restaurant the other
day. She was drinking a glass
of Seven-up, slurping through
the straw, when she decided to
dip her finger into the pop and
let drops of it fall onto her
nose. The Seven-up drops'sat |
on her five-year-old nose for a
moment, then slowly ran off  —
the end, dripping onto her out-
stretched tongue. She was total-
ly engrossed in this indirect
method of drinking, and I was
fascinated. The adults sitting
with here were unaware of this
antic. J wondered, had I at- -
tempted to drink this way in
public, if nearby grown-ups
would also ignore me.
No, they would have stared
and my companions would
- have got up and left in em-
barrassment. This got me
. thinking about how kids get to
- do neat-stuff like that, and we
adults are always so respectable
in public. Well, most of us are,
most of the time.

-Isn’t there a! ‘ttle kid hiding
inside every grown-up? Don’t
‘you sometimes. want to flip

your spoon of ice.cream at the
stuffy guy across the
restaurarit? Or‘play with a yo-

“yo? =

‘Just ‘think, if adults were al-
lowed to-be more like children,
we could skip down the side-

. : ch .
-watk, swinging our arms and

singing. If it weren't for the
unwritten rules of'adulthood,
we could play with the deposit
slips while waiting in line at the
bank, We could hang upside -
down on.those bars by the
grocéty checkout, and nobody
would give us a second look.
Bankers wouldn’t have to

“wear business suits, unless they

wanted to, and lawyers could
giggle in court. Doctors could
wear goofy glasses and clown
noses to the office. Account-
ants wouldn’t change much, I
think.

If adults were like kids,
there’d be no wars, because
everyone would have to be in
bed by eight. Kids don’t have
the prejudices of adults, so
we'd all get along better any-
way,
Nuclear war? Gorbachev and
Bush could talk over a hot
fudge sundae and a Seven-up, .
letting the soda dribble off
their noses.onto their tongues.
Free trade? ‘‘Okay, Brian.
We'll talk about it on the

‘swings at the park,’”

It’s such a great: idea. I guess
some people would say it was
dumb. Some people would say
I’m dumb. —

That’s okay. Sticks and
stones may break my bones,
but names will never hurt me..

fine dining, superb “calibre’’
theater and other unexpected
twists and turns! The at-
mosphere is somewhat
‘‘mature’’, the play, of ‘‘film
noire’’ style mixed with tongue-
in-cheek melodramatic dialogue.

Be prepared to be thrilled,
humored and maybe even a little
shocked! Tickets will be
available after Oct, 1 at the Stu-
dent Body Racquet & Fitness
Centre as well as Sight & Sound
at $20 per person,

Media picking on Vander Zalm again

To the Editor;

There is free game this hunt-
ing season: anything Christian!
The NDP’s strategically-planned
smear campaign,. with the help
of the media, is not against a
political party or policies, but
against a highly esteemed per-
son, Premier Bill Vander Zalm
of- British Columbia. There
should be a. way. of taking the
control of the media out of the -
hands .of corrupt - publishers,
editors and columnists. It is time
for a revolt. The media should
not control our democratic pro-
cess and ruin it. Adolf Hitler
knew that a gullible naive ma-
jority can be mislead easily. Our
media knows that too!

Who are. really ruling

- Canada? Marxist, TV - reporters _

(‘‘sharks”), union . leaders, en-

vironmentalists, university. prgr,

fessors and school teachers. Yes,:
I repeat myself, but, I want to
rub it in. We. can. speak ofa
media dictatorship, censorship
and conspiracy. Did you ever try:
to get a letter. to the editor:
printed in The Vancouver Sun or
The Province? A letter from the
“right” that is.- Their own
political hate literature should
be banned by law. The media
and the polls should not be
allowed to influence people in

any way before elections. It is a -

misuse of freedom of speech ala
‘Keegstra. Fascists and com-
munists have a lot in common as

far as. “propaganda”? is con-
cerned. We want lionest and fair
play.. It is just as hard to
penetrate these NDP strong-
holds (the media) as it is to break
up these drug cartels i in Colom-

cannot think: for her/himself, a

will believe what the almighty ~

media says about a person like.
Bill Vander Zalm and yote.ac- —
cordingly. The media should be
controlled and not control us! .
We want true democracy,

Bill Homburg,
Terrace, B. C. ’
