Dear Ann Landers: I am the mother of a college student who is a
senior at a university rated among the top 20 in the country, From
personal observation, I can state that the current college student
{s foul-mouthed, slovenly if not filthy, drug-oriented, conditioned
to free sex (couples living together without parental knowledge or
legal ties) and contemptuous of, if not hostile to, the police or any
organization that has rules, standards, and goals,

In other words, the unlyersities have spawned a ghetto
environment, and the professors, by their attitudes, are prompting
a ghetto culture.

Parents who can avoid it don't allow their children to live in
the ghetto, so why pay the colleges and universities to provide
such environment?

‘With money in short supply and competition for jobs, college
is serious business these days. Parents who are spending
thousands of dollars to keep their children in school expect
performance. What's more, the requirements for entrance to
professional schools are murderous.

thousands of hard-working, no-nonsense students in my travels
and I feel the future-is in n good hands,

goanywhere, We have no mutual friends, He hates movies, doean't
play cards and won't go to anyone's home for a party.

When I invite couples in he goes to sleep or acts bored and
doesn't say one word. His stubborn refusal to be decent, let alone
cordial, drives me crazy. What's the solution?

No Tax $s for Private Properties

Dear Sir: .

I strongly object that tax-
payers’ money should be spent
to Improve private property.

Reason: I have a creek
running through my property,
165 feet, which was always
contained in its bed by a flume.
‘Without the flume after two or
“three ‘spring runoffs, I would
have very little. property. lelt
(46 feet loose top soll).

When last year the wooden
flume collapsed and washout of -
soil started, I approached the
Slocan Village Counell to assist
me'to repair or to put ina new
flume. The council gave me
their decision: “The Village has-
no funds available al this time
to justify improving (note im-
proving—not protecting) | pri-
vate property with public mon-
ey"

And at a later date: “The
council doesn’t have any obliga-
tions to. maintain it.”

“Therefore, I do pot like to
‘see my tax dollars go ‘to
improve some private proper-
tes when I have to spend $970
{not counting my wages of quite
afew days) to control the creck.
that runs through my property.

I hereby invite all tax-
payers and especially the Slo-
ean Village Council to join me to

«see that no public money is

being spent to imprave.private
