     The CADRE has often pri- 
     
     nted articles and letters 
     
     that have employed satire. 
     
     as a way of expression. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Satire in its broadest ter-y 
     
    
   
   
    
     ms is a technique that can 
     
     employ humofir, wit, irony 
     
     sarcasm, parody and innu— 
     
     endos in order to discredit 
     
     or ridicule, folly or vice. 
     
     Credited with being the 
     
     chief inventors of satire 
     
     were the ancient Roman 
     
     poets, although it had been 
     
     used in the Bible and by 
     
     ;Homer and Aristophanes. 
     
     :The use of satire has not 
     
     'always been employed by 
     
     some authors because of 
     
     their preference to it, but 
     
    
   
   
    
     ' it when it is used in the 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     of ' Satire ‘ 
     
     rin'many cases because it 
     
     was the only way in which 
     
     somebody could attack an 
     
     institution such as in. 
     
     Gullivar's Travels or the 
     
     Mother Goose Rhymes. What— 
     
     ever the reason for it 
     
     being used, it has appeared 
     
     in the works of William 
     
     Shakespeare, Cervantes, 
     
     Jonathan Swift, Jane Austin, 
     
     Lewis Carrol, Byron, Oscar 
     
     Wilde, Aldous Huxley, Eug- 
     
     ene O'Neil, and George 
     
     Bernard Shaw. 
     
    

    
     The reason for bringing 
     
     this to light is because 
     
     if this is such a common 
     
     writing technique, why are 
     
     people unable to recognize 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
        
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Dear Editor; 
     
    

    
     May I use your paper to 
     
     express publicly, regret 
     
     in the loss of Mrs. Henn- 
     
     nessey from the staff of 
     
    
   
   
    
     'Relly Memorial Library? 
     
    
   
   
    
     And gratitude, too, to 
     
     her for faithful and most 
     
     obliging service over the 
     
     years. Even more than the 
     
     official service she gaxw, 
     
     will her personal concern, 
     
     good humor, and unofficial 
     
     "counseling"‘be missed by 
     
     students and staff alike. 
     
     Whenfione was "feeling down"; 
     
     a step at the Circulation 
     
     Desk and the briefest ex- 
     
     change with Dolly was a 
     
     real "lift". Truthfully, 
     
     her departure is a real 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘loss.

     To the Editor: 
     
    

    
     There has been consider- 
     
     able flack being raised in 
     
     the CADRE theSe weeks con— 
     
     cerning the slackness of 
     
     the Campus Police. I am" 
     
     not saying that they are, 
     
     but these are the views 
     
     that have been presented 
     
     by your honourable paper. 
     
    

    
     However to get back to 
     
     the subject, it has come 
     
     to my notice that Saturday 
     
     night during the Fall Fest- 
     
     ival certain members of _ 
     
     Student Services hooked . 
     
     into the event free of ch- 
     
     arge. It would seem that 
     
     this is a pretty underhan— ' 
     
     ded trick considering‘even 
     
     the executive of the Stud— 
     
     ent Union have deemed that 
     
     they shouldn't get in to 
     
     any events for free. They 
     
     are not only paid an en— 
     
     ormous salary for-their u: u‘

     CADRE. The most recent 
     
     example of this type of. , 
     
     misinterpretation would be 
     
    
   
   
    
     Vin regards to the article 
     
    
   
   
    
     last week on the "food 
     
     committee". Not‘only did 
     
     they miss the satire of it, 
     
     out they even thought it 
     
     was in reference to the 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘, food in the cafeteria. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The CADRE printed a sat— 
     
     irical letter laSt year 
     
     that made a joke out of 
     
     the faculty Friday "Happy 
     
     Hour". It prompted a letter 
     
     from the head of the Facu— 
     
     lty Association, who took 
     
     the letter quite seriously. 
     
     . A similar example would 
     
     be an article that Stan 
     
     Dalton wrote about Pres— 
     
     ident Baker. He went out 
     
     of his way in praising 
     
     education

     ‘students. Surely this is 
     
     no service but rather is , 
     
     a direct contradiction to 
     
    
   
   
    
     their whole purpose of being 
     
     'on this campus. In future

     my attention that our ill; 
     
     ustrious preSident and one 
     
     of our most worthy Deans 
     
     "hooked" into the Pig 'n'

     not mention the salaries

     the breakfast issue which 
     
    

    
     I explained in a previous 
     
     issue. The vote was taken 
     
     last Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 
     
     the evening meal. ’ 
     
    

    
     There ware 11 students 
     
    

    
     in favour of reverting to 
     
     the full breakfast of ham, 
     
     eggs etc., while there were 
     
     236 students in favour of

     The CADRE soon after even 
     
    
   
   
    
     rpublished a letter from a 
     
    
   
   
    
     student that stated it was 
     
     the only decent thing that 
     
     had been printed in the 
     
     paper. 
     
    

    
     It requires what is often 
     
     called "reading between 
     
     the lines" or looking at 
     
     things with more than a 
     
     fone-dimensional attitude. 
     
     If you are unable to read
