Doyle put in His Place

Doyle put in His Place.

Dear Simon,

On reading Eugene Doyle's letter in last week's Salient I was apalled at the totally destructive attitude he took towards student life.

Students can well do without his pessimistic views on the state of the association, particularly as the year has just begun — such pessimism can perhaps be justified later on in the year as the slog for finals begins, etc.

I should like to ask him two questions —

1)	Why the hell did he come back to varsity if the thought of facing the mob of "Parasites" sickened him?
2)	How the hell does he expect student activity to increase in any area if people like himself write super-intellectual bullshit writing off such activity at the beginning of the bloody year?
