jimjon[f84,jmc] Note to Elaine Rich about renaming Brown University
Dear Elaine,
Can you supply me with the name and address of the Brown
University Alumni Magazine. I contemplate sending them the following:
"The University has been unnecessarily rigid in its outright
rejection of the student request that the Health Service stock cyanide.
We propose a compromise. While the University cannot stock cyanide for
reasons of safety and law, it should agree to stock the Kool-Aid and a
suitable number of large kettles. Students would then have only to supply
their own cyanide.
"The proposal to change the name of the University to the Reverend
Jim Jones University should be examined very cautiously. It might cause
confusion with the Bob Jones University and thereby jeopardize Brown's tax
exemption."
Of course, if an alumna were to associate herself with some
variant of such a tease, they would be more likely to print it. I
have yet to check the spelling of Kool-Aid.
I look forward to seeing you again on my next visit to MCC,
which will probably be in February.
Regards,
John McCarthy
