=Letters To The Editor= Bud Smith Answers ELC

Dear Editor

I write not as an employee of the Youth Center, but as a private citizen with some very strong feelings about the letter that appeared in thi- column last week from a person known only as ELC. This is my answ r to that letter. Since I like to do all my talking on friendly and informal terms. I would hke to call this person by her first name. My only course however, is to assume that her first name must be E, I will refer to her as such from here on. First, for th** record, my policies of suspending members for misconduct are exactly the stune now as they were in .Xpril of 19G4 when I first took this job. Furthermore, as long as I am the director they will remain the same. Others have been suspended and reinstated before this with very good results. However, I want E to know that my purpose in writing is not for the defense of my policies. I fed in my heart and my concience tliat 1 have done right, and therefore it is not necessary* fw me to take a defensive position, at least not to an anony nnous writer On the other hand. I am not writing for the purpose of arguing against E’s point either. She has every right to express her opinions, and I have always welcomed thoughts of those who do not agree with me. This helps to keep me on my toes. The text of E's letter doesn't bother me much at all. but her methods leave a lot to be desired. You see. I haw had even stranger opinions that E’s on this same subject expressed to me and I have respected those opinions because I know these folks were sincere and they had the fortitude to talk to me in person. What really rks me to a high degree is any kind of anonynous letter such as E has placed in last week's paper. I fed that f a person really believes ,n what he or she has written, he should jump right in with both feet and have the courage to sign his name to these writings, not just unte and then look for safety in anonymity. 1 do not claim to always be right, but I believe strongly enough m

I welcome any and all opinions of interested persons. whether for or against my beliefs. 1 ask only one thing, when and if you write please, please, have enough pride and belief in your convictions to sign your . letters.
