Rising Price of Essentials

Rising Price of Essentials

Dear Abby,

The purpose of this letter is to register a protest to, and develop awareness of, the threat posed to the essence of our lives, particularly our social and mental development. Please fall not into the trap of treating our words non seriously.

The aforementioned threat has taken the form of increased costs of ales and liquors. The last budget seemed like a bad dream when it was announced and its effects were ignored at first by our number. Our tolerance has reached its limits and we have a dire need for resusitation. Unless relief, perhaps in the form of a subsidy on University related social activities, is close at hand the risk is run of student involvement and concern ebbing away, of cultural richness vanishing and our soundness of mind sliding away.

Think about it if you will.

Signed.

J. Moffat.
