The Average Student Speaks
Dear Mr Beach,
Do you not agree with the rest of the students in this university that voted in Mr Tees as President last year did a jolly good job. And that it is rather a pity that Mr Tecs no longer has the support of the executive but does have the support of the majority ie. the average hard slogging accountancy, History, Science, Sociology, Geography, Biology, Maths, Law etc, etc, etc students, writing essays, assignments etc.
Do you not think it odd the executive doesn't have the unity it once had.
Well, I'm just another average student and don't understand what was so important about Kampuchea or what ever. I only know I've an essay due tomorrow, and if I don't do it won't get terms. I guess there are a lot of students in this position.
So do you agree Mr Beach with the rest of us students or are you just like the rest of those sitting in gilded cages.
Sincerely,
An average student.
