LAURIE‘S BEST LETTER TO THE EDITOR If our city fathers act now, Waterloo can have its very own mountain‘ Think of itâ€"the children could d f Waterloo l’ck. fellow _ Waterâ€" s. _ Hamilton is havâ€" ing a garbage strike and if we‘re fast enough, we can take advantage of the fact. Dear Editor, This may seem to be an unusual beef, but my comâ€" plaint concerns the nature of the public dissatisfaction directed towards the cost of that very commodity â€" The public has suddenly realized the importance of such nutrients as beef and other foodstuffs, only after these items have risen to an economic par with other marketable goods. Despite the swollen costs of new cars, clothes and soaring price of other gadgets, prototype to the techâ€" nological society of today. the price of foodstuffs is osâ€" tensibly the target of most criticism. _ The argumenâ€" tive appeal for the case against food increases is an irrational plea, typical of the society that wants and Laurie Best is a / resi Public chooses luxuries over food The following courses, which are taught for credit in the B.A. course, are also open to the community to audit.

I‘ve heard of "bedâ€" room communities‘‘ before, but this is ridiculous‘ To contend the irrational plea, the public argues that food is a necessity and consequently cost inâ€" creases in that area are unâ€" justified. Whereas â€"the expects to have all innoâ€" vative â€"conveniences with the traditional "bellyâ€"full" coming a cheap aside. j Of course, you may as well build a mountain out of garbage. At least it would serve a dual purpose. As well as being a haven for winter sports freaks, it would also make a great time capsule for future (Soon to be Wilfrd Laurier University) archeologists wanting . to know what made our civilâ€" ization tick. _ (Won‘t they be in for a shock when they find all those beer cans? ) Who knows? The idea (or the garbage) could mushroom and we‘d have the ‘"Great Southwestern Ontario Garbarange ‘. But all kidding aside, I‘m gratified to see that someone else is having trouble with garbage. Beâ€" ing something of an ecology freak, I spend half of my waking hours on garbage. Every day I chop, grind, mash, fold, mutilate and spindle my garbage. Cans are stomped for recycling, labels torn off, bottles cleaned, papers tied, comâ€" post piles started. It‘s a feisty little backyard we haveâ€"the dogs love it‘ Ironically perhaps, the argument refutes itself so logically it is as simple as this: if food is unlike most other products, not a symâ€" bol of status but a matter of unedible products are unâ€" necessary and consequentâ€" ly these inflated prices are tolerable. So garbage in hand, 1 rush out. _ Resplendent in faded blue jeans, ratty sweater, no makeâ€"up, hair flying in every direction, I catch up to the truck and yell:"" Am I too late?" Only to be met with: *"No, lady. Hop on!"‘ Unfortunately, my smugâ€" ness is shortâ€"lived. While I‘m â€" sitting _ there â€" conâ€" templating _ my _ handyâ€" work, the garbage truck is quickly passing out of sight down the street. necessity, then does it not follow that it is a conseâ€" quence of necessity that we go without that new car or new home in order that our budgets can accommodate the items contingent to our existence? The way the attitude stands now, the public would rather starve. But all my efforts seem worthwhile when Tuesday, garbage day, rolls around. While all the neighbours are rushing out with their myriad collections of blue plaid, greenâ€"striped plasâ€" tic bags, I sit back and smugly admire my tiny contribution .
