Turn it down Dear Editor, There are some people out there who think it’s funny to drive around blasting the bass on their stereos so loud that they can be heard from literally miles away. How about if you jerks try sitting through a class, try to concentrate on the answer to a nagging question your professor is giving, when he is drowned out by the characteristic “thump, thump, thump” of your bass box. I doubt any student enjoys that. Take this opportunity to understand that your noise isn’t appreciated. No, we don’t think you look cool because your stereo can be heard from 350 blocks away. We think you’re inconsiderate and should be drawn and quartered. But not to worry, we have the law on our side. The campus or city police can rush out and hand you a nice $250 ticket for violating Moscow’s strict noise ordinances. Of course, now that you have read this, you can show just how considerate you are toward your fellow students and humans, disconnect the bass box, and save it for shows in Spokane. Or you can pawn it to pay for the tickets. Your choice. Michael Wolf Junior, pre-vet Fast food doesn’t mean bad food Dear Editor, A student walks into the LLC food place. He’s pretty hungry; he skipped breakfast to get out of the house fast. He looks over the cheap food — the sugary pies, the sodas, the hot fresh pizza glistening with oil, the breadsticks laden with cheese. He thinks, “Mmmm, yummy, and a good price.” Then, automatically, his “must lose weight” reflex kicks in, and screams, “Remember you want to lose weight, not gain it,” and he turns away to the salads, juices, Gatorades and other items. Students pay four dollars or more for a salad or small bun, 20-30 cents more for a 16-oz juice or Gatorade instead of a 20-oz soda; the list goes on and on, and his pocketbook writhes in agony, remembering the grocery store’s much lower prices and Wendy’s cheap salads. These prices are unacceptable, especially in light of the fact that I could buy similar quality food from any of the fast food joints in town for a much-reduced price. I don’t know why our LLC eatery has a price bias towards unhealthy food and highly expensive healthy food. Why do I get financially penalized for eating healthier food?
