have just finished reading an article in the Nov. 1 issue of Spoke, titled, “Students Need to Practise SelfRestraint at School” written by Walerian Czamecki. As a member of the wait staff of the Condor Roost Sports Bar, I am offended by the whole article. I recognize Mr. Czamecki as a patron of the Sports Bar. On the day that he is referring to in his article, he was at the Roost with a friend. Yes, they were watching rugby and drinking beer themselves. What I
a hypocrite!
That day, he did not interview any of the students were at the bar. How would he know that they were first-year students? I know for a fact that one entire group was second- or third-year students, most of them with averages of between 80 and 90 per cent. It is also my opinion that the students who come up to the Sports Bar do not drink because of peer pres-

are just letting loose a

Some
students come to the Roost to play pool or foosball and do not order alcohol of any kind. Do not assume that the students are so stupid that they are incapable of making their own decisions. They are, after all, in college. Do you also assume that this is the first time they have ever drunk? Do you assume that the staff of the Condor Roost is so stupid that we don’t know when somebody has had enough to drink? My mistake was assuming that a journalism student (assuming Mr. Czamecki is indeed one) would attend
