Sprite
"It's certainly not harmful," she added.
Tascher said he didn't like the idea. "On St. Patrick's Day it might be nice, but typically we don't like to see it," he said.
"A first-time user might not like the appearance," he said. "There's a certain eye appeal that goes along with the product as well as taste."
Taschler admitted there wasn't much he could do about it, however.
It could be about how many ways he said.
Sprite is sold in three ways, he said.
Larger canisters of the soft drink are
also sold, he said, and are either premixed or post-mixed.
The COCA-COLA CO. has complete control over pre-mixed canisters, but the Kansas Union food service buys the post-mixed variety. Tsaasch said.
Post-mixed means that the buyer mixes the Sprite syrup with carbonated water after it has been purchased, he said.
"I can tell you that if it were one of our products, we wouldn't approve of it," he said.
It doesn't bother some people, however.
"It tastes okay," said Jon Hardesty,
Tecumseh senior. "The color bothered me when I first saw it, but I've gotten used to it."
Coults admitted the Sprite looked a little unusual but said there was nothing to fear.
ONE HAWK'S NEST customer said yesterday afternoon that she couldn't tell any difference in the taste but that the cashiers should be able to distinguish Sprite from water even without the green dye.
"If they'd only take time to look, 'they'd be able to tell the difference,' said Tracy Mazzer, Overland Park freshman.
ASK

He said that the performance of the K-State delegations was not representative of its constituents.
"They bio-vocid consistently and, that I don't think, was representative at all of K-State. Most of the other schools did a pretty darn good job."
PATTY GERSTENBERRER,
Lenexa senior, said that overall, she was satisfied with the assembly but not taking stands on non-financial issues.
"I thought that the body was being irresponsible and that it lacked
courage," she said yesterday. "But I was pleased with the evening session.
"We weren't being so strict in what we were looking at. We were considering issues outside educational ones."
Maria McDougal, KU's ASK board member, said that she didn't like the tendencies of the assembly as a whole.
"There are certain conservative trends in ASK that are detrimental to the organization," she said.
But KU delegate David Zimmerman was more direct in his criticism of the legislative assembly.
"I thought it was a waste of $15,000 by KU to be involved in this LA." Zimmerman said. "KU should re-evaluate its position in ASK."
ZIMMERMAN SAID that the delegation from K-State, which nearly pulled out of ASK earlier this semester, often was obstructionist and made the 7 1/2 hour legislative assembly a battle of school against school.
"I just think the fact that everyone was willing to take a stand on budget issues but not willing to take a stand on taxes is the interest of a lot of students," he said.

in his superficial discourse on film violence Mr. Ellison proposed an interesting solvent. Even while questioning the satiety of those who enjoy this material, he held that they in combination with "Those of us who do the creating must at some point say 'This has got to stop!'" By the liberal use of such unmitigated马默 key did this nabob of narrow-mindedness manage to avoid the mechanism responsible for the garbage in question and thus hoodwink an enthusiastic crowd.

To Mr. Ellison, who looks askance at all expressions of religious belief, the exclusion of every religiously-inspired individual from any concerted effort to inhibit the flow of said violence is of greater importance than achieving the goal itself. The phrasology师恩 (morphology) in this regard is more important than the significance of his ignorance of the important part that religious institutions have played in, for example, the care of dependent children, this country's struggle to abolish slavery, and the civil rights movement. In the very breath with which this demagogue denounced censorship he advocated the use of its cousin, discrimination. By characterizing, without exception, the use of such a discriminatory and "self-righteous" he very convincingly assumed the role of bigot.
On the night of October 20th Mr. Harlan Ellison, whom the University Daily Kansan described as the 'author of more than 900 stories and frequent recipient of the Hugo Award from the World Science Fiction Convention' gave the first talk of the KU Humanities Lecture Series. Mr. Ellison, who is "not opposed to all violence in movies, just the unnecessary, gratious kind that" drips of perversion, said that "it was the task of audiences and movie-makers such as himself to exercise restraint in producing and patronizing such films." He evidently feels that the production of films featuring "the violent exploitation and murder of women" can be controlled, i.e., kept at a tolerable level (1), by whispered requests for restraint both to and by the very agents whose work it is meant to represent. The author stated categorically that this "was not a situation for censorship by the Moral Majority and other 'sanctimonious, self-righteous Bible thumpers who do it in the name of God!'"

A MERCIFULLY BRIEF DISPLAY OF BIGOTRY
Total strangers, live in number, have caused to have forwarded to me through the University, copies of your advertisement. I will not cause you the pain I know would be yours were I to quote the ridicule your endeavor engendered in your neighbors. I will merely shake my head sadly at the persistence of neardearth thinking in those few dark age backwards like yourself who think God has time to waste on supporting your primitive prejudices. God it too business a grand idea in the best minds to spend time with the people who love fools and foors and airheads.
I am advised by your neighbors that you also object to abortion. And that you can fool of yourself with startling regularity by expressing your outdated malarkey on that subject. Given your missionary zeal about such things, one wonders if you had anything resembling an honest reason for attending my lecture. My positions on matters of current affairs are widely known and available in almost forty published volumes. One must assume either you are an utter idiot who goes to hear lecturers about whom he knows nothing . . . or you went merely to be able to shoot off your bazoon once again in print. How patient you need to answer this question, and how much self-belief before an audience of Kansans for whom you have become a local object of ridicule. I’m sure you must see yourself as some sort of martyr to wise old values and deep-rooted provincial truths. That is called a Christ complex; but sadly for you we are much more evolved species now, and we don’t nail up self-rightfulent martyrs. Mostly, we ignore them.
I look forward to that prospect, as regards you, sir, with almost celestial composure.
Harlan Ellison

Mr. Dann:
Lawrence, Kansas
in my October 27th avenirial, of the spirit of the angel it might cause me; I be most interested in a few examples of "the ridicule" that my effort 'engendered in me' will reflect. Is it true that I am 'baffled' by What are you referring to when you speak of my 'neanderthal thinking', and my alleged assumption? That "God has time to waste on supporting" (my primitive prejudices)? When you go on to describe God as being "too busy being a grand idea in the best minds", do you mean that He is nothing but an attractive idea which can be conceived by only the enlightened, or perhaps predestined, few? In these same two sentences you both personalize God and claim that He hasn't the time to watch over each individual; you seem, here, to be affirming while denying His immance and transcendence. It was just a hortentight age on this campus that you expressed contempt for sanctimonious, self-righteous Bible thumpers! Your reference to Him, in the third and fourth letter, suggest that this is yet another topic which you ve examined only superficially.
I apologize once again, as I did over the phone Monday afternoon, for not having sent you a copy of my October 27th advertisement. In spite of the anguish it might cause me, I'd rather have written that on my website.
In your last paragraph you uncover and lament my allegedly vacious existence and resultant emotional needs. After reading my brief critique you’re “sure” that I see myself ‘as some sort of martyr to wise old values and deep-rooted provincial truths.’ You then inform me that this syndrome is known as ‘a Christ complex; but sadly we are (sic) much more evolved species now, and we don’t calm up self-righteous Martyrs.” The answer is simple: “I have an illness and I revert here to blasphemous form by describing Jesus as a self-righteous martyr.”
A RESPONSE TO HARLAN ELLISON
Your letter—a writer of qualifications and outright contradictions—is just another one of your distinctive exhibitionsistic displays. Could it be it, sir, whose “truly empty life” results in your attempting to gain the ‘attention’ ... you need ... so badly? Or is it that you’ve been asking him very much for writing before resuming an “anathemical composure.”
My 'neighbors' are correct in describing me as opposed to abortion. You tell me that these unidentified 'neighbors' feel that I 'make a fool' of myself with startling regularity by expressing . . . outdated malarkey on that subject. If the Fifth, Fourteenth, and Eighth Amendments are examples of "outdated malarkey" he rescind them; but as long as amendments remain in effect we should honor them. The British author, Malcolm Muggeridge, posed a question several years ago that you, sir, should be informed that we are not being delivered transforms the developing embryo from a lump of jelly with no rights of any kind, into a human being with all the legal rights that go therewith?"
Sincerely,
William Dann
