The one thing that troubles me, though, is whether students who are fasci- nated by computers will eventually become unwilling or unable to use traditional mate- rials such as books, magazines and newspa- pers. Are we creating a generation of idiot savants who find their way around a com- puterkeyboard in their sleepbut can't find a book listing in a card catalog? DEAN M. VANDER LINDE Michigan State University East Lansing, Mich. The computer has created social interac- tion at Clarkson College? What about fresh- man humanities courses, late-night study- ing, hockey games, barrooms-the list could go on. I agree the computer is a won- derful tool, but it does not change one's life. And it certainly doesn't make interesting dinner conversation. GARY J. GARRAHAN Clarkson College Potsdam, N.Y. Computers may be an integral compo- nent in the future of academics as you de- scribed. It appears, however, that these new teaching tools aren't able to help students overcome one of the most prevalent prob- lems on campuses today: incompetence in the English language. While Primanti's res- taurant, described in the printout on page 10, may have "cheese steaks," the people there are "weird" not "wierd." Perhaps we should consider making some basic im- provements in English departments before putting a computer in every dorm. HANS HUMES Witliams College Williamstown, Mass. Beer Myths Howard Hillman's column on "Beer Myths" promoted beer better than any commercial could (LIFE/STYLE). ALAN JOHNSON Walls, Miss. Why is it assumed that college students are a bunch of uncontrolled beer guzzlers? CYNTHIA PEARCE UCLA Los Angeles, Calif. Alumni Contributions It's incomprehensible and unfortunate that Neal Karlen advises alumni to "fight back" and offers "defenses" against college fund raising (MY TURN). Active alumni as- sociations arevitaltothesurvivalofcolleges today. They provide for scholarships, new buildings and scientific research among other things. Every student who goes to college benefits from the generosity of the NEWSWEEK ON CAMPUS/MARCH 1984 alumni who graduated before him. And if a student thinks his tuition more than cov- ered the costs of college, he should look again at the costs of running an academic institution. Chances are that without the help of alumni, tuitions would be higher. MARIA K. WOLOG Smith College Northampton, Mass. Privately endowed institutions of higher learning owe their very existence to the loyalty and devotion oftheir alumni. Unlike our public counterparts, we receive no state decade, I, for example, have returned hap- pily ever afterto academe as the editor of my favorite alumni magazine. So far my move has worked out splendidly, even if I have yet to savor mussels scungilli for breakfast with our varsity volleyballplayers. ROBERT BAO Editor, MSU Alumni Magazine Michigan State University East Lansing, Mich. Africa '84 Since you included us in "Summer '84 Starts Now" (UPDATE), we've received a record number of requests for information about our Africa program. Your statement has motivated many students to consider Africa for their summer '84 travels. SONIA KELLY Operation Crossroads, Inc. New York, N.Y. Thank you for the contact. My next stop will be Africa ... SUZANNE RICHARDSON Del Mar, Calif. Student Designers Your story about fashionjobs (CAREERS) was the best national coverage that I have ever clipped for our fashion library. For fashion/design students in the West, our small museum shines as an example of where they can go to examine vintage gar- ments firsthand. Guided by fashion experts, we have kept our closet doors open and accessibleby sharingsome 6,000 document- ed garments and fashion accessories. Our programs are available at nominal cost to all students of the history of costume. PATTI PARKS MCCLAIN Curator Museum of Vintage Fashion Moraga, Calif. Student fashion designers should be proud. Their creations are almost as ridicu- lous as the ones coming out of Paris. ERIC RANDALL Blacksburg, Va. Colleges and Schools I enjoyed "Rally Round the Schools" (EDUCATION). It's great that universities are lending a helping hand to the public- school systems. Introducing high-school students to technology and various other fields will raise our educational standards and benefit the students by easing the shock of a college workload. LINDA DOUGLAS Senatobia, Miss.

Surely, Karlen's counsel would spell eventual death to pri- vate-sector education at all levels, and our society would be the poorer for it. ROBERT A. HOWARD Assistant Vice President for Public Affairs Colgate University Hamilton, N.Y. Delightful! Truth and humor can be fun. Thank you, Neal. S. M. DEBACHER Islamorada, Fla. Thank you for Karlen's hilarious col- umn. As an alumnus of the University of Wisconsin, where the pledge mailing is be- nignly headlined "Wisconsin Calling," I sympathized with Karlen's mild annoyance and laughed out loud at his comical retaliation. ART SIMON Madison, Wis. Neal Karlen's "calumni" was amusing but his advice that alumni sever links with their alma maters utterly lacks imagination. There are better strategies.
