Letters to the Editor
Dear MIR. Editor:

Dear MIR. Editor:
Below is a letter which /
wrote to President-elect Ken
nedy. | strongly feel that will
receive an answer and that the
four of us will get to the Inaug-
ural Ball for ten minutes on the
twentieth day of January, 1861.
The letter sent to Mr.. Kennedy
last Monday reads as follows:
Dear MIR. President-elect:
| feel how weak and fruitless
must be any words of mine
which would attempt to beguile
you to solve a very deep and
impending problem which has
existed in my life since your
election to the office of Presi-
dent of the United States.
From the time of the closing
of the respective political con-
ventions, my friend as a loyal
Republican worked tirelessly for
many weeks and months and
with much personal sacrifice for
the election of Mr.. Nixon, and
/ as a Democrat worked equal
ly as hard but with obviously
more success for your election.
HOWEVER, my Re p u b | ic n
friends argument to me, which
he still holds true is 'how can
Kennedy being so wealthy and
a 'silver-spoon kid possibly ap-
preciate and in turn have any
feeling for a lowly first-voter
such as Il" He continued, do
you think Mr.. Kennedy will re-
member you during the fanfare
of the Inaugural ceremonies and
gala ball on the 10th of Janu-
airy, 1922"
My answer with strong con-
viction to him was 'T'll bet l
can get into the Inaugural Ball
if for only ten minutes; that not
only could | and my date get
in but also my friend and his
date, even though he is a Re-
publican!" I'd like to show him
that we Democrats can stick to-
gether and that rank and sta
ton make no difference to a
person like Jack Kennedy.
This controversy has caused
great discussion among towns
people, letters to the editor, and
debates among fellow students
especially at University of Del
aware among friends and at
fraternity debates as to wheth-
er or not we will accomplish
our goal ten minutes at the
Inaugural Ball.
Some people are backing us
up l00%o that we will get to the
Ball although the more pessi-
mistic people of the town say
we will not. A member of the |
upper echelon has even offered
us her new Thunderbird for
transportation to Washington on
the 10th, and local clothing
merchant has offered us formal
attire for the evening.
PLEASE, MIR. K E N N E D Y,
WHAT DO DO NOW?! !
Very sincerely,
MIR. Hopeful"
