Straight Up
Steven J. Austin
STEVEN: I’m getting married in three
months and am about to send out the
first batch of invitations: Of course, all of
my sorority sisters are planning to at-
erid,andmanyof them will be part of the
ceremony. I love them all. and would
hate to think anyone would t^ave to make
a msjor financial sacrifice just to get me
a gift. V^^ould it be tacky for me to write
something like ‘gifts not necessary at
the tx5ttom of each invit«ion? The
woman my mom chose to arange these
things is a real idiot. After reading your
column I Iviow you have more sense, and
I like the idea of getting a man's opinion
fora change. — BRIDE-T0-8E IN N.C.
BRIDE; Thanks for the kind words. No
matterwhat you wtiteyou know they’ll be
getting you something. There’s really no
way to prevent the well-meaning gesture.
Sure, you can make a notation on the
Invitation but I doubt you’ll get much
compliance. Hinting around the house is
another option, but don’t get your hopes
up and be sure to have plenty of thank
^u notes on hand. Congratulations..
STEVEN: Here’s another one of those
‘flame still burning’ letters. He decided to
call me after almost five years — all that
time and not one word. I’m not married
and am about as single as they come. He
Is, however, and that, of course, is the
major problem. I'd t>e tsack in his arms in
a minute if he wasn’t, i'm just not the
kind of woman who has the urge to break
upanwiage. but if I say no to his lunch
Invitation I know he'll just pester me until
lgi\«in. I'm sure he won't be bringing his
wife and kids along, so if I go for it
What’s In A Name?
We at The Twig feel that it is not only time to change our image but
also our name. In doing so, we ask for your help. We feel this will be a posi
tive change, and we will appreciate your cooperation and support.
Please fill out one of the choices below and turn your response into
your resident adviser.
Thanks.
o Don't change it! Here’s my reason why:
□ Change it! My suggestions for a new name include: ■
We’re Changing Our Image,
(which I probably will do), what's the t>est
way to tell him I'm not interested in any
thing more than a bite to eat and a hand
shake? — NERVOUS IN GREENSBORO
NERVOUS: It sounds like you have it
all under control. Sure, many people
reading this are saying to themselves,
“Wdl, she can't be so positive she isn't
going to fall for the guy all over again."
and that's always a possibility. However,
the tone of your letter didn't reveal those
vibes. My best advice is to.be friendly but
finn. Some say breaking a heart with a
smile is a lot easier. Good luck.
STEVEN: I'm putting together my
Christmas list and need some help. What
would be a suitable gift for my research
assistant? He's a super kid and is always
there wtien 1 need him. I know he loves to
play golf at Myrtle Beach, but I'm sure he
has tons of equipment, so tails and tees
are out of the question. I want to spend
about $50. Any hints? — DR. S., RA
LEIGH
DR. S.: A gift certificate for a round or
twoof golf will be much appreciated. The
better courses will be happy to accom
modate you. Check with a local travel
agent or golf course pro. If you can't get
any help, a quick call to the Myrtle Beach
Cf^ber of Commerce should do the
trick.
STEVEN: Why do all the girls carry on
over the male stripper shows? Those
guys are a bunch of studs interested In
only one thing. It's different when men
go to topless bars and strip shows. The
average guy knows he doesn't have a
chance with any of the dancers. But the
male dancers — unless they're gay —
will sack out with anything that wiggles.
Do you think I should prevent my girl
friend from wasting her time and money
at those dumb spectacles? Her stupid
friends always drag her along. — DAVE,
WINSTON-SALEM
JEALOUS: Why do you have to tie
such a jerk? With a brain like yours to
contend with I’m surprised she hangs
around your space at all. Get off her
back.
