Dear Mr. Editor:
school owes an apology to Ms. Sylvia Ruiz and Mr. Ray Sisk
music° ° attended the SGA concert on Friday 2, to hear
There was so much noise in the CoffHouse that hearing Ms. Ruiz was dif
ficult to impossible even near the stage.
I think the noise level became increasingly more deafing in proportion
to the amount of beer and wine consumed.
I asked several people to be more considerate and they comlied, but the
noise got worse. I believe I know the reason. Several of our estLmed
SGA officals were drunk and making as much noise as any of the other
noise makers.
one^of^two^^^'^ pi^oblem can be circumnavigated in the future in
1. Stop serving beer at SGA concerts.
2. or more prefrably, set aside an area
patrons who come to drink and socialize.
The second alternative should be agreeable to all.
Respectfully,
Rick Wilson

Common knowledge exists that humans do
not always work according to sincerity or effect
