© Verite the other press January 21, 2004 A Call to Arms Kim Meier, Coquitlam Correspondent I live in Coquitlam. As a result, I try desperately to sched- ule all my classes over here at the prestigious David Lam campus. It worked for my first semester, but alas, during my second semester, I had to take a class over at the New Westminster campus. It was at this time when I maaeenNy realized—Hey! We've got a student newspaper! I nervously applied for the position of photographer, and the good people at the Other Press decided I satisfactorily met their standards. Suddenly, the world of journalism opened its arms to me. It was as though I had been accept- ed into a new family. A family with no parents, rules, cur- fews, or babysitters. A nice family. A fun family. A family who accepted me for who I am—a poor student looking for new and creative ways to waste my valuable studying time. Finally all my classes are back at David Lam, but some- thing’s missing. Despite the leaky buildings, mice problems, catacomb hallways, and the either-too-cold-or-too-hot phi- losophy of the New West campus, I miss my freaky news- paper family. So—I am now the David Lam representative. The Coquitlam Co-ordinator. That girl you go see in room B3153 when you want something of yours published in the newspaper. Please, please! Visit me! Write to me! Contact me! Or at least, read the newspaper. The Other Press is admittedly very New Westminster based, and we want to change that. This newspaper needs a stronger presence here in Coquitlam, and I can’t do it alone. There’s absolutely no criteria for you to follow. You can write about whatever you want. Got an attitude problem? Send in your opinions. Or perhaps you've got a news story that hasn't been getting enough television coverage. Maybe you want to review a concert, a book, or a play. You can even write a feature, if you want. And sports! We need some of that too. Got poetry? Photography? Art? Comic strips? Chances are, I won't turn you away. I’m just that desperate. Contact me at 604.777.6064, or in room B3135, or by email at nocontrolling@hotmail.com. And yes, you can slip papers under my door. In & Out Amanda Aikman Culture Editor What’s out...
