Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to express my concern on several matters.

1) In reply to 'A Malaysian Student.' I agree education is a right but please remember that you are in a foreign country which doesn't owe you that right to education but rather owes its citizens that right. I am against the Government charging overseas students a $1500 fee for education. Overseas students' fees should come out of overseas aid not their own pockets. I also think that this could be the first step towards all students paying fees and perhaps a loss of the STB.
2) What should happen to Boyd Wilson Field is to provide better drainage so that the field is not closed so often, forcing teams to train in doors.
3) Ms Brian Tinsley, I think you are a fool. University education is a right not a privilege. And to say STB is a gift is a lot of shit. I work damn hard for what little money I get for my STB. If you went to Studass meetings you might not suggest that your $43 be taken off but rather increased.
4) Good luck Andy Tees in your attempt to rule over us. You have my backing and the so-called 'Average Students'! Don't blow it. If you don't let us down we won't let you down.
5) The food in the cafe is nothing but pig fodder. I hope something is done soon. Abo I would like to say to those 'Ladies' working in the Coffee Bar, don't smoke behind the counter. Me thinks you break Health Department Regulations. One complaint to the Health Department could change things for you. I don't like ash and smoke on what I eat. You might but I don't.
This letter was from a concerned Womble.

P.S. I'm the one with hairy legs.

P.S' That was a clue.
