European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - January 18, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Saturday january 16. 1986 the stars and stripes an n Landers Page 11 dear Ann Landers i have been Laid thai if you want a message la reach inc heart of America gel in in Ann land ers column. Whai have la say is important. And i Pray thai you will print in. T could save some wonderful Young lives. Fraternities Are supposed to forge life Long Friendship and promote brotherhood sometimes they do some thing else Laze the pledge in a manner so brutal hat they Are severely injured or killed. More than 24 Young men have died in inc last six years As a result of fraternity hazing. Severe paddling one lad required sur Gery and far several week branding with hot Irons forced alcohol con sumption and rigorous i cruising have been part of the ritual on some campuses. Last year one week after classes began in Texas a student was dead. He had been pulled out of bed and subjected to 1 3 hours of rigorous calisthenic. The Young Man collapsed and later died of heal stroke. A stud Cal from Oklahoma was paralysed after being thrown into a Pond. Another freshman was made 10 leap from a second. Story window onto a Bay Siack. He suffered a spinal Cord injury and will be confined to d wheelchair Tor the remainder of his life. Accidental and isolated Are words often used to describe hazing incidents. They Are neither. They Are premeditated. Serious attention must be paid to these de humanizing and often dangerous activities the Lime is now for educational institutions to define their policies and proce dures for dealing with hazing before state Laws such As Ohio s do ii far them. A arc sending our Only son to College next year to get an education. We Pray that no fraternity shows an interest in him. Anonymous in new York dear Anonymous at his moment Ami hazing legislative measures flare been enacted in is states six additional Stales arc taking the Nutter under consideration. My question what i the matter with he other 26? How Man More Young men must be killed or crippled before something is done this cruel and a useless practice Aust be slopped at once. I urge every Parent who has knowledge of such activities to Contact your representative and senators and insist on action. Dear Ann Landers i enjoyed the letter from Joe s wife in Arkansas. She was annoyed by the Way he mispronounced certain words one in particular a card for heard sounds As if Joe has some Pioneer Slock in him. Heard is a deteriorated derivative of the scottish for heard and there used to be plenty of people around Here who said dad was raised on a Prairie Frontier in Canada by scottish Parynis. He called a Mirror a Murrow and pronounced Oil a Isle when i was Small my Mother drilled into me that n Chimney was not a Chimley As daddy called it. How i d love to hear my father curl his Lonac around some of i Host words today. He died in 1971. Joe s wife should t sweat the null stuff. Life is too Short. Heard it All in Saskatoon dears ass i mow what you mean. My father dldn"? per to English either bul be. Or St and funnel it new.

All looters arc subject to editing Iii a i him i i i Kim a a a a ave Impi Yusaf helicopter Crews deserve respect writers say we illegitimate children a group of Heli copter Crew members would like to reply o a nameless colonel s remark quoted in military hampering special forces buildup officials in it recent Issue of the stars and stripes the air farce colonel said there ii some Ruih to the that the air Force wants 10 hand Over the Job helicopters to the army because helicopters in not fit inc thoroughbred image of the Pilot air Force Are crewed by professionals who Lake Pride in the accomplishment of their very important missions. Their Reward is the knowledge that they arc excellent at their jobs and that without their life saving capabilities thousands of people military and civilian would otherwise be dead or missing. They Are rewarded by the knowledge thai without hem Security of nuclear weapons and other vital idioms of National interest would be greatly reduced. They arc rewarded by he knowledge that without them special missions requiring special training would not be successful. One infamous Rescue attempt failed partly became air Furce helicopter pilots trained for the Mission were Nal used due to a poorly informed decision by someone As Gnu rant As this colonel who feels they Are not thoroughbreds anyway. No Reward inc air farce can give is greater than the satisfaction that comes from saving a life or accomplishing an equally critical Mission so air Force Heli copter Crews Don t Usk for any. What we do ask is Hiil we receive the same raped As professionals Hal is Given to All other pilots. Saying Hinl we arc not thoroughbreds i.e., we re bastards can not fulfil Liis need the colonel can be thankful Ului lit was never shot Down Over hostile Lerr Lii. By. Seeing the Bottom of in or purer helicopter during cymbal would color hit opinion somewhat differently because we fit others like us would have willingly cum to his Rescue or died in the it Impi. As Many did in Vietnam and in peacetime rescues. The _ aerospace pm be Anil recovery service s motto sums it up nicely thic do. That others May names and location withheld Israel has right writer says he is a amused the recent terrorist actions at Rome and Vienna Austria once again remind us of Motif vulnerability wherever we go. More disturbing is the response by the International Community about the United states proposed military actions towards alleged libyan protectors of terrorists. Especially noticeable is the reaction of each . Ally about possible retribution. Every country has vested interests in not attacking Libya. Great Britain and Ger Many Purchase Large quantities of Oil from them. Italy sols them tons of exports. Of course the . Also bought 124 million of Oil in i9b?. Aren t our economic sanctions just t or Rifici the list is endless. Seems Ikic history is easily forgotten. When the nazis persecuted jewish peo Ples in the Laic 1930s, the world at Large preferred excuses to facing the reality and taking net inn. When the nazis acquired the sudetenland and Austria the world made compromises and excuses. This time we make empty reprisal threats and list our eternal sanctions Israel on the other hand takes Swift effective action every time. They re Learned that their very survival makes that action necessary and justifiable. Sci our country react on principle and Stop rationalizing our every option into meaningless rhetoric. I believe each american desires direct action and would support it. Each terrorist act brings our response and a feeling of a can Vul. With the exception of our interdiction of the egyptian Airliner carrying Llic a Hilt Laura hijackers aur Swift and effective retribution for terrorism is a paper Tiger. Let us not fail to watch Israel and pro vide her our support. In seems at this paint in history her Cru Wulc is sorely needed god bless America and May he watch Over the Garnd people of our Earth. May those who harm others in an evil Way die a merciless death. Name withheld a Germany thanks to guards from guards 1 would like to take a moment to thank Alt the unit police who made my recent Christmas temporary duty at Rose bar rack. A Safe and pleasant one. Although they work Foitag hours they always Greet you at the Gale with a smile. Jim gaucher carried Germany let me give thanks where thanks Are overdue. During the Holiday season one does t Only celebrate by ending drinking and dancing but also by sharing the significance of the spirit of the birth of Christ symbolism of love "ne.ighbor"-Hood, sharing and truth. I extend my appreciation and thanks 10 the officer s wife of Stuttgart the Uso and All those that came through the Gale of Wallace Barracks bearing gifts for us the Gate guards. A very special and warm thanks to 52nd signal co commander first ser Geant and fellow soldiers whose morale and Esprit do corps Lead them to assume the task of guard while we took a break from this monotonous and never ending duty thus making us feel closer to inc real meaning of Christmas. Sgt. Gladys e. Pc Nat Stuttgart Pat member proud of donation i always thought Christmas was a Lime for giving not 10 give Only to receive. So Why do we have 10 give Only if we get some thing out of it the other night at a Pat meeting we were voting to tend some Money to the fam Ilies of the Young men and women who lost their lives in the Arrow air plane crash in Newfoundland. As an army wife for Many yean1 feel that i have lost some members of my family. Bul there were people there who did not want to give because it was not going to the children of our Pat. But we belong to the National Pat. So we help All children. If we can help just one child of one member of this army family we have helped our kids. 1 think our kids would rather have some child who would not have his or her Mother or father Home for Christmas have the Money to help hem through this time of great sadness. Hope that everyone who voted yes had a Light heart this Christmas just knowing that they helped someone in time of need. T know that i feel Good about it. I also know my kids do too and we do not want anything in return for it. Name and location withheld Peri pass i am 24 Vert of.
