Dear Editors:

We would like to provide some comments about the concerns expressed
in Murray Goodmunson's letter in the last issue of the paper. People
who are serious about education obviously wish to remove obstacles to
learning. Complacent acceptance of administrative policy which strongly
affects what is taught does not allow for growth. If Murray is really
concerned about students using this facility to educate themselves in
the manner he describes it follows that the students should also direct
the administrative policy affecting education here.

The school could be run on the ''SAFEWAY'' supermarket basis where
we totally self serve our educational needs but without input into what
is offered we would have as much control over what we learn as we have
over whats sold in Safeway. To have a comfortable acceptance of the

'"'Middle-class, Government Lackey'' administrative policies practiced
at E.C.C.A.D. is a much larger concern than promptly completed homework.

While we admire strong personal energy and direction we must be

involved as a group in the direction of our education which can often

involve complaining and bitching. QUESTION AUTHORITY
