To the Editor: At about 3 a.m. after AD's Nobacco party last Saturday night, all I could say to myself was, "Holy crap, my contacts are not cloudy and burning, and I don't smell like smoke.
College students throughout the country indicate increasing disaffection and separation from social concerns.
I think I finally figured it out. This Columbine massacre has really gotten me thinking lately. And for someone who is more conditioned to violence than a seven year-old watching the Ultimate Fighting Championship this is an odd thing.
