European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 20, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Page 11 Arih Landers dear Ann Landers 1 am writing this from a correctional institution in Salinas. Calif. No i am not writing to ask you to help me gel out. What i would like is a Little advice on How to manage what is becoming a serious prob Lem among the 1 hate the word you would not believe How serious these Guy arc about soap operas. The switching of channels f has led to some serious Knock \ Down drag out fights. Last week one fellow Slabbed another one with a Pencil. Even though the wound was superficial it will give you an idea of How seriously they take these to programs. They would rather fight than switch. I can understand a Guy punching another Guy in the Mouth for grabbing his Chicken dinner of stealing his cigarettes but to get violent Over a soap seems ridiculous Tome. It s not easy to live in another world As we surely do but with Only one life to live we Wail As the world turns in search of that guiding Light hoping and praying that we All Don t end up in general Hospital. Any comment . Dew from what 1 know about the penal system in this coun try 1 doubt that the ii Ards would allow those to arguments to gel out of hand. Meanwhile if that is the biggest problem you guests have to Cope with you Are Lucky. Dear Ann Landers i d like to comment on your reply to Texas who jumped into the discussion about education. You mentioned How serious the russians and japanese Are about educating their children and added we dare not risk putting our country in the hands of a Bunch of dummies 20 years from now Wake up Ann. We do not have to wait 20 years. The dummies Are already voting or not voting and they Are ruining our country. Our schools teach everything from Sandbox to water skiing but Many students graduate without knowing one thing about world history or economics when Only 35 percent of the eligible voters bother to Register and Only 40 percent of those 35 percent take the trouble to Vole it s a pretty sad commentary on this nation s priorities. I am worried about America s future. Puyallup Wash. Deaf Puyallup you have focused on an Issue that is a National Dis Grace a few years ago someone suggested a us credit for Cithens who toted. It s too bad when we Hae to bribe people la do something that should be privilege but it just might work. Dear Ann Landers i gave up smoking four years ago and i Haven t missed it at All. Writers respond to letter on bullfighting 1 am writing in response to the writer who is defend ing bullfighting. Everyone has the right to express their opinions about what they consider to be Art so i la express mine is an important part of Spanish culture but i can t condone the killing of anything As Art. The portuguese have bullfighting but the Bull is spared. To say that the Bull has the advantage is comparable to Walter Mondale s attempt to defeat Ronald Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. The writer failed to mention the Picador and the Bander Llero whose Pri Mary functions in this macabre Art Are to torture and agitate the Bull to Wear it Down so that this Skinny defenceless Guy with a three foot sword can impale it when he gels tired of hearing the crowd yell Ole How does the letter writer know that the Bull would rather die a Warrior s death in this so called clash of the titans maybe she thinks that the christians thought it was honorable to die in an Arena of screaming romans and charging Lions or perhaps she considers the elephant poachers in Africa to be great artists because they Are facing the world s largest land animal with Only a Rifle powerful enough to Slop a Lank. Aft is defined As the conscious use of skill an creative imagination in the production of aesthetic Beautiful objects or works. Killing has never been considered to be Art. Personally i d prefer to Sec a Good sports event there s no doubt in my mind that a Well trained ath Lete is poetry in motion. Staff sgt. Clyde d. Dowell ii Torrejon a Spain can t imagine what possessed you to print a two thirds of a Page letter to the editor on bullfighting but Bravo the lady knows from whence she Speaks and never have i read it so succinctly and beautifully stated. However her writing talents notwithstanding you know the letter will engender hundreds of responses from those whose minds arc already made up and who will not hear read what she has written. I will cast the first Stone she should have quit while she was ahead. Her last paragraph denigrating Progress and casting aspersions on Modem music read like the tellers of response against the bullfight which i am sure she is going to receive. Bill smart Leppe Nheim. West Germany editor s note Julie Araham also wrote in the subject taking a stand against bullfighting. Writers advise objector to get involved we were concerned by erroneous information propagated in a letter to the editor from a family member husband of Wiir Burg. Apparently the use of the word wins in a club name has kept the writer from Check ing club membership requirements. As he did no single out a specific organization we can not Deal directly with his problem. We would Welcome the writer into any of our memberships As we support Usa eur policies on not discriminating on the basis of race color Reli Gion National origin or sen. In the religious clubs there arc male counterpart groups if the writer would prefer Hal affiliation. The Wiir Burg officers and civilians wives club to Csc and the Wurzburg no wives club have constitutions specifically using the phrase spouse and adult family members to avoid discrimination by sex. In the same Way that the name Myca is still around even though they have programs for entire families and the jewish Community centers have protestant and Catholic participants using the word wife in a club title docs not equate with sexual exclusion. Linda Hendrickson president to Csc Wurzburg West a Cruny in reference to the dependent male spouse feels excluded letter i have Only this to say Wake up you stated that the local wives club has been approached by other males but none has joined. You also were told that until a male joins the title wives will remain. Mister that was your Cue. I you want to be a part of anything you must make the first am talking from experience because i am also a dependent spouse and the first male member of the Span Dahlem no enlisted spouse club. Another male joined shortly after. The women of the dub accepted us and the name was changed a Little later. This Only a word wives did not bother me. But i did Tell them jokingly that i would not Wear a dress. 1 am very proud to be a part of this club As it makes life Here a much better place for All. Gel involved and Don t let the word wives get to you. Re member when you put the first foot Forward theother will follow. Organizations such As wives spouse clubs do a great Deal for the Community and they arc know if everyone got involved in something maybe the stars and stripes could Cul out the Gripe letters Wallace Spang Dahlen West Germany pen pals me that already i had puffed away Over 10 years of my life. I could t believe it it did t even take me eight minutes to smoke one Lousy cigarette my question is this now that i have quit is the dam age reversible do i get any of those minutes Back Frank in Brooklyn dear Frank every authority i have consulted says yes Coal Black lungs will be Pink again after sex month of abstinence.
