In response to the letter sent in by Jon Rimler and A.J.Muller: I think you gave Jon Monteith more fuel for his fire.

You make blatant contradictions and misled assumptions. You claim to stray away from making generalizations that you accuse Jon of doing and then you make a wonderfully sweeping statement about Jon being a hermit and “the only imbecile on campus” to end your article with a punch. No generalizations there, guys; Jon could learn a thing or two from you.

You also do a stand-up job of putting words in Jon’s mouth. I don’t seem to remember him ever saying the “Dean” girl was stupid. An anecdotal story about a stupid comment does not imply that he thinks this girl should have been denied admittance to the University.

As for getting play, I’m pretty sure that Jon mentioned at the beginning of this year in his columnist introduction that he is the president of PRIDE, so he’s probably not too concerned with getting as much play as his roommate. But, you’re right, staying up late to do homework in his own room – thus preventing his roommate from getting that awesome play – is definitely being a pain in the ass. Next time it’s 3 a.m. and I have a paper due the next day, I’ll walk to Grainger so that my roommate can have all the sex she wants. Maybe I’ll light candles and put on some jazz for them on my way out. Would that make me a more considerate roommate?

And by the way, Newtonian Mechanics actually does have a stitch to do with gravity. I know you’re in LAS, but didn’t you have to take even rudimentary physics? Maybe you took Logic and Reasoning 101 instead because you’re really good at it.
