Dear UCI Alumni Association:
I realize that you have conferred a boon upon alumni by allowing us to see the "Distinguised" [sic] Speaker Matt Ouimet for a mere $25.00 a head. Clearly, insights into the brains behind Disney's resort properties are worth the cost of, say, a full tank of 89 octane unleaded. For example, I'd like to know why Disneyland pollutes the sonic environment of Orange County by exploding massive quantities of fireworks at 9:30 every evening, a feat which is thoroughly audible even in the non-adjacent community of Irvine. I can't tell you how many times I've been listening to a Mozart piano concerto on KUSC only to have it disrupted by the loud, low booms which would otherwise indicate that this country was under attack by Soviet stealth fighters. If Mr. Ouimet could indicate how his company bribed the local authorities to permit this cacophony, I would consider it well worth the sawbuck-and-fin. Otherwise, I think that the evening is bound to be a disappointment, and I will have to decline your generous offer.
Sincerely, Jonathan K. Cohen, MA '91
