Dear Editor,
For the new students at BYU, we would like to introduce a new acronym . . . NCMO. For those of you who grew up in Utah, obviously know and understand this term.
We, who are new to the state and environment, find the term to be grotesque and foreign. Non-Committal-Make-Out... what the heck does that mean?
The main problem we see in this is the utter degradation of the holy order of men and women in blissful dating.
Our solution to this horrendous problem is commitment. Let us define three levels of commitment: emotional, spiritual and physical.
Emotionally, we are talking about playing with people's minds. This leads to confusion causing tension between the two people involved.
Spiritually, we are talking about abusing one's self worth and not treating them like the child of God that they are.
Lastly, physically, NCMOs are addicting and can result in unwanted child bearing.
So, remember girls when a guy asks you to NCMO - Remy de Gourmont said, 'Women still remember the first kiss after men have forgotten the last.'
