Just ask Annie
Dear Readers: By now
you are undoubtedly
aware that I have
returned and 'this year I
promise you that I will be
smarter and nastier than
ever before. "Why?" you
ask. Because of idiots
who send me letters like
this.
Dear Annie: This is a
letter to behold your
praising. After all 'this
time of your graying the
Chronicle's pages, you
must finally graduate
from CHSS and leave us
poor students to help
ourselves. Your brand of
half-wit wisdom will be
forever gone, we'll be rid
of you! Best of all, I'll be
able to look at the
Chronicle without seeing
it's. fair pages sullied by
"just ask Annie". Ah, the
days to come will be
sheer joy without you. I
hope the only advice you
will ever be able to give
will be. by replying to
graffiti in the ladies'
room! And Good Rid-
dance! (no fancy names
for me!)
So what can I say? All I
ask is that if anybody
hears weeping and
gnashing of teeth in the
halls, they avoid
whoever's causing the
racket, the fellow seems
to be insane and giving to
delusions based on wish-
ful thinking.
Dear Annie: I have a
problem with' my crazy
brother. You see, my
family has lived near the
lake for several years.
During this time my
brother started the hobby
of collecting driftwood. It
was fine at first, as long
as he kept the wood in his
room, but then he began
to keep "pieces in the
basement, the '-living
room and everyone else's
bedrooms. Once, even, I
walked into the batlifoom
and found him rinsing off
a five-foot long log in the
bathtub. I do know that he
takes some of the smaller
pieces in with him when
he takes a bath and plays
with them like toy boats.
And he's seventeen!
The whole house is
cluttered and he even
expropriated the book-
case in my bedroom and
my closet to hold his
junky pieces of wood.
There are splinters and
woodlice everywhere and
the house stinks. Mom
and Dad pretend not to
notice and tell me off
when I complain. I'm
sure that the whole house
has become a fire
hazard! Annie, can't I do
anything? -- Splintered
Nerves
Well for one, I wouldn't
smoke at home if I were
you. Also, you, could
suggest to your brother
that he build something
with them, like an ad-
dition to the house, or a
kennel for Fido or even a
bird perch. You could
have a bonfire party with
your friends when he's
out. As a last resort, you
could put in an
anonymous call to the fire
department saying that
the house is a fire hazard.
That could get your
parents to act. Oh yes, I
recommend that you get
your brother to furnish
his room in rubber rather
than wood and add some
long sleeved jackets to
his wardrobe.
Dear Puzzled:
Well first, I'd make
double sure that your
friend is the guilty one. If
you can't find concrete
evidence against her, try
not lending her anything,
or bringing her home
with you for a while. If
things stop vanishing, it's
more than likely she's the
one. If they don't stop, I
think you owe her an
apology. If, however you
can find concrete
evidence, I'd confront her
with it. I leave it to your
discretion as to whether
you tell her to go to the
doctor or whatever you
feel is best. Personally,
I'd tell her to see a
psychiatrist.

Dear Annie:
My best friend is a
thief. That's a heck of an
accusation, I know, but
I'm sure of it. Several
times I've lent her stuff
which she hasn't returned
and worse yet, she denies
having them, A couple of
antes I've let her into my
room, and, invariably, by
the time she's left,
something is missing.
Iter family isn't poor or
anything and she's got
good parents, so I can't
Understand her
behaviour. I haven't
fixtthd any concrete
evidence to prove it, blit
