Nix the Dumb Questions
Consternation among the Washington press corps over a White House aide's contention that they asked "dumb" and "flabby" questions at Presidential news conferences was evident in the early hours before Mr. Nixon's appearance last evening. An inside source told of a conversation that went something like this:
"Well, kid," said the veteran observer,
"are you going to ask the President tonight?"
The young reporter thought for a moment then answered. "I think I'll ask the President about the renewed bombing of North Vietnam," he said.
"Forget it," said the veteran, "he's just give you a protective reaction."
Well then," said the rookie, "I'll ask him about the Paris peace talks."
"Nix that one," said the pro, "he'd put
about it. He supposed to forget
about the war anyway."
"O.K. I'll ask him why he doesn't have more blacks in his administration." "He'd neglect it benignly," said the old man.
"You can't be so snoopy kid, you'll just bug him."
"How about the conventions and the planned demonstrations?"
"I know, I'll ask him about the break-in at the Democrat's national office."
"Naw," said the old man, "he'll give you a hum steer."
"Unemployment?"
"Unemployment?"
"Too rhetorical."
"Military spending?"
"The First Lady?"
"Too pat."
Exasperated, the young man
tried to avoid being and not ask the
President, any questions.
"Oh, don't give up," said the veteran,
"you may not get another chance like this for
a long time."
"Wait," yelled the reporter, "I've got it. I know what I can ask Mr. coulson to do." He smiled and did the old one.
what, what not but one of it. "I want him," President, where he's going to send Agnene next."
"Kid," the veteran said, "that's a good question." ___ Mark Redner

In my opinion, I do not think that a man who intimidates two students should be allowed to work at an institution that is sizeable enough for them; a mananner could be a lot different, that he should have comprehended our situation, as did the officer, that during a tornado the student had to suffer and his actions, which lacked intellectual thought, could have been responsible for bodily harm, or even death, to my friend and me (not discouraging our dogs, notjel are members of our family).
It was ironic that this man did what he did to us, considering that a campus security officer did not mention anything to us.
