To call it a publicity stunt really demonstrates who's sticking their head in the sand. Did you happen to see the news when they were talking to the students at Brown? Most of those who thought that the proposition was silly said they thought it was dumb to be so negative about nuclear war. I certainly wouldn't want any cyanide pills handy at my campus medical centre but I would have signed that petition. It's to make people aware and wake them up before they get blown off the face of the earth. Besides, thinking back to the elections at my undergrad university, I would think this would give the students something more interesting to vote about than who is the most po- pular person on campus. In a way, the author of the above article is correct. The propo- sition has shown the true mentality of some Brown students, name- ly the ones mentioned above. ___________________________Bert Lo (lo@harvard.ARPA)___________________________ "If your grandmother or any other member of your family should die from contamination, put them outside, but tag them first for identification purposes."
