What follows is a response to my university newspaper's article on sweatpants.

Dear Editor,
After reading the 8 Feb 2010 article regarding sweatpants, I felt I
must speak out against sweatpants' oppression. As a Computer Science
student, I feel it is my duty to uphold the long-standing tradition of
my peers and maintain a shambolic appearance. I wear sweatpants
everyday and own more pairs of them then I do of jeans. Also, in
today's chaotic economic environment, I find it important to practice
looking like a hobo. The transition from college life to hobo life is
thus one step removed and more easily embraced, should it become
necessary.

Sweatpants are awesome,
Allyn Bauer
