Just thought you folks a Brown U. might like to know the official word from
the staff here at the University of Texas at Austin on the cyanide pill vote.
It seems a student senator has introduced a similar bill here at UT and, as
published in the student newspaper (The Daily Texan) on Wednesday, Jan. 23,
the opinion of the UT chief of Pharmacy Services, Bill Wylie is:
"This is a silly thing started at Brown University by a bunch of eggheads
who can't even tie their shoes and who don't know about working to survive
to make a living."
Anyone care to comment on the ability of Brown U. students to tie their
shoes? :-)

I applaud the Brown students who put forward that resolution, not for the content of the resolution itself, but for the intent: to increase debate. JCA

The eggheads who copied the idea here may be the ONLY ones on campus who know about working to survive, the only ones capable of intelligent thought, and the only ones who don't hire servants to tie thier shoes...

I can tie my shoelaces if I have to, but I prefer wearing loafers! Incidentally, not everyone who goes (or has gone) to Brown is filthy rich. My father was a cab-driver.

[Lace this line with HCN] > Anyone care to comment on the ability of Brown U. students to tie their > shoes? :-) I'm a Brown alumnus, and I can't tie my shoes. I wear Birkenstocks, which use buckles. Apparently, the pharmacist is correct. At least, he's probably willing to use me as proof. -- Gene E. Bloch (...!nsc!voder!gino) Support Bulgarian gajda players.
