During the first week of December we held an Aerobathon and obtained over $800 in pledges. For three hours students of Connecticut College put their bodies to the lest to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. It is the first week of the second semester and already there have been several thefts on campus. Unfortunately, one of those thefts occured in the room of an Aerobathon participant, and almost $200 dollars in pledge money was taken. Once again money that was donated towards a worthy cause was stolen (i.e. Pennies for AIDS). I can only feel sympathy towards this person who feels that he/she is justified in taking from others, and even more sadly from the needy. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease which effects the central nervous system of approximately 200 adults every week, most of whom are between theagesof20 and 40. This money would have assisted the MS Society in thier effort to find the cause, prevention, better treatement and cure for peeple wtih MS. I can only hope that one day this person will come to the realization ofhislheractions and donate the money to MS to help them continue to help others. This is the second letter of this type that I have written to the Voice and I sincerely hope that it will bemy last. Sincerely, Tracey Vallarta, '90 Senior Class President THE COLLEGE VOICE Voice Cited for Lax Distribution James H. Gellert Letter to the Voice: Publisher The last issue of the Voice I saw was dated November 7,1989. It was not delivered to my door in JA.lnslead, Brian T.

Executive Director, Fund Associate Publisher At our dorm meeting last night, we learned that the Voice has not been delivered to most peeple in my dorm, Lisa Allegretto Jeanette E. McCulloch including the housefellow, for several months. One person I talked to actually thought issues were no longer being Editor-in -Chief (Newspaper) Editor-in-Chief(Magazine) printed! Wh~n I spoke with friends who live in other dorms, I was told that many peeple either do not regularly receive a copy of the paper or, if they do, it arrives several days late. I suspect that! am not the only student who is updated on many issues by this publication. Many of the articles are of interest to me not only on an individual level, but also with respect to club and class activities in which I may not be involved. Surely it is nota Iackoffunding which prevents effective distribution of The College Voice. Please remedy this situation. Sincerely, Cait Goodwin, '90 Publisher's note: TheCollege Voice acknowledges Ms. Goodwin's criticism and agrees that distribution during thefirst semester was inconsistent 10 some dormitories. Measures havebeen taken to ensure proper distribution for the second semester. If you are not receiving papers, please call the Voice at Ext. 7236.

A Mended True altruism has a more sellIess quality. A number of organizations fit my definition of altruism. The Children's Defense Fund heads the listCDF was created to provide a voice on behalf of the nation's children. Through research, public education, community organizing and monitoring federal legislative policy (A less offensive way of saying congressional Prayer lobbying), CDF seeks to change specific policies resulting in the neglect or mistreatment of millions of children.
