I believe your intentions in publishing High school sports news and results in the stars and stripes Are misdirected. The real people to Reward Are the Aca demies those who end up at Stanford or Harvard. It is a great thrill to get your name in the paper but you Are mis guiding the students into believing that sports is the Way ahead. Do you not think that it would be better to cover academic achievements such As Grade Point aver age spa or academic scholarships As Well As or instead of your sports overtake a High school football player who is the team Star for four years. If he does not keep up his grades he May be a future Street cleaner or Gas pumper for the Community. Sports scholarships Are generally hard to come by these Days and a great degree of Luck is involved m receiving one. " i am a High school student who is bet Ter in track and Cross country than i will Ever be in school but i do understand that the Way Forward is by earning and pursuing academic goals. I am sure that you know that. Unfortunately most High school students do not realize that until it is too late. I believe you should be promoting these ideals As Well As or instead of a sports career that in most cases goes straight into the garbage after graduation. ,. " otherwise i d like to commend you on a great newspaper that All servicemen. And women stationed overseas rely on and can depend upon. Kevin Neil Rota Spain a pattern of problems i be been in Germany since july 1 and am dismayed at the Lack of Craft supplies in the Post exchanges. We live in the Mannheim area and have driven to Hei Delberg Kaiserslautern and Darmstadt looking for supplies. They Are not Avail by Scripps Howard news service the Center for Media and Public affairs reports that Between labor Day on sept. 5 and oct. 20, the news net works gave 100 percent negative coverage to rep. Newt Gingrich. That was before he became House speaker apparent. Now that Gingrich soon May be Amer Ica s de Facto president for Domestic affairs the prestige press is giving the Verbial 110 percent. Newt knocking is everywhere. The new York times glee fully reports that Gingrich a fat cat at heart returns triumphantly to washing ton in a big Michael Daly of the new York daily news dredges up the old Story that Gingrich slapped divorce papers on his first wife As she Lay recovering from can cer surgery. The Washington Post reveals on Page. 1 that the House ethics committee is quizzing Gingrich about a College course he helped fund with political action committee Money.

Maj. Gen. Robert f. Swarts the com Mander of the army and air Force Exchange service with letters requesting a properly stocked Craft area in larger pcs or a Good Craft store accessible to the majority Joan i. Wilson Mannheim Germany Able on the Economy either. A Little fabric is available for Cross stitch As Ell As the floss but no Pat terns no Needles. There is a Little fabric available for quilting no books no Pat terns no Needles no quilt thread no hoops. Why Only part of the supplies Ana if a Bolt of Muslin arrives the whole Bolt is gone within a Day or two. In the new highly touted bookmark there Are few current or popular Craft books stocked. I found one current Craft Book and the same few magazines which Are not the most popular in the crafting area. And i found one quilt Book dated 1988 loaded with outdated techniques. In addition i see those carefully pre pared advertisements on american forces network regarding the arts and crafts area at Benjamin Franklin Village. I be been there and am further de pressed. No supplies. I do have fond memories of the arts and crafts building at Hickam fab in Hawaii completely stocked and special or Ders were filled promptly. We re More Iso lated Here and need Craft supplies. May i suggest that craters and Needle workers unite and write to air Force importance of spouses my husband had been in the service nine years before our marriage in May 1992, so to get a better idea of what would face being a military dependent i went to a briefing at our new duty station fort Hood Texas. I was told i was not issued by the and therefore unimportant. I have Learned to Deal with this after All iwas stateside and capable of accommodating my own needs. However up oncoming to Bamberg i was even less important. My husband and i were in temporary quarters and just assigned Perma nent quarters two Days before he had to leave for the Field to evaluate another unit \ a. Now i m not asking for special privileges but his platoon staff sergeant knew at that time that i had no Driver s License two children and Bur hold bag Gage to move and i had to Clear Temps. When my husband asked if he might switch places with someone and evaluate next time that same month he was in formed that he should not Nave brought his family with him. He should have left them stateside. Being a Good military wife i top this with a Grain of Salt and a cuss word under my breath and moved myself without my children suffering. Not Only did i get them to school on time and picked up but cleaned the temp quarters and unpacked at the permanent quarters. My Point is with All that we wives can accomplish it is my opinion that we should be issued after All. Who do you think usually presses the uniforms Tammy l. Ansbro Bamberg Germany commentary is maybe this is what Kierkegaard mean by being trampled to death by geese. This stuff is largely hooey. The Caddy belonged to a Friend. As for the offal Meister Daly s divorce Story one party in a bitter split is hardly an unimpeachable source about the other spouse s is also sadly True that there is enough mud in almost everyone s past to Mold into a Gargoyle. Finally the ethics letter was a forma response to a charge filed by. Gingrich s election opponent this is not to say that the Georgia professor should enjoy immunity from criticism or that he walks on water. His judgment can be grievous As when he linked the deaths of two South Carolina boys to democratic policies. But obsessing on Gingrich s flaws obscures his estimable Public Virtues and visions. This is no country club stick in the mud Republican. Gingrich came to Congress in 1978 touting a conservative of hooey Opportunity society to replace what he sees As the dead end welfare state. Recommended Reading list Inland he lectured fellow party members on the Power of ideas to unchain the american spirit and urged that the party reach out to Blacks and other minorities. The almanac of american politics notes that even As Gingrich attacks government regulation he also believes in major state enterprises like a manned space program to stimulate technological innovation capture the National imagination and inspire National Mars or mohair subsidies. Which gives you Goose bumps even Gingrich s invective serves a purpose to Sharpen differences Between the parties. That sharpening is partly Why the gop will soon run Congress. Gingrich father of the contract with America can justly claim a mandate for change. The snipers of the Liberal Media look 100 per cent like sore losers. Mommy Hon a. 7h& .
