This has been a really bizzare
week at the Other Press.
For the first time we had most
of the copy in on time, we had
a paid typesetter, we had film
and we were going to get more
supplies.
But then dissaster happened.
Or dissaster after dissasters
I should say: our typesetter
«quit after only four hours,
there was no power on produc?
tion day so there was no Way to
put cut a paper, and when we
‘did get the power back we had
hardly any staff to put it to-
gether. To top it all off oup
types.tter ran out of film just
as we ware stru:glins to fin
nish the thing. Help.

More Dances

Less Smuf

TO ALL DOUGLAS
COLLEGE STUDENTS:
To all students who feel that
they are not getting their
money’s worth from the

entertainment offered by
the DC Student Society:
Presently, entertainment
includes Pub Nights, Intra-
mural Sports and _ the
occasional Dance. We are
aware that these events are
not suitable for everyone. If
you have any suggestions or
complaints regarding the
social. activities, please
come to the Student Society
office in the Cafeteria
building on the McBride site
and see me. If I’m not
there, speak to one of the
other student represent-
atives or leave a message
for me, and I will get back

to you as soon as possible.
Naturally, the Student
Society can’t make every-
body happy, but we’ll do
our best to represent every-
one’s interests.

After reading the October
16 edition of The Other
Press, I felt that the quality
of the paper has improved.
I was particularly
distressed, though, when I
read the poem, ‘‘Platonic
Relationship.’’ I thought it
was in very poor taste.
Several students have
expressed to me similar
feelings. I can’t speak for
the entire student body,
but this is not what I wish
to read in a newspaper that
I am paying for.
Another suggestion that
may further improve our pa
paper is the deletion of
swear words. I feel that they
detract from the quality of
the paper and there are
other words that have a
greater effect without
offending anybody. Looking
forward to the next issue.

Censorship of poetry ??

I appreciate that you recog-
nize that you cannot speak
for the entire student body.

 

 
 

All too often prople who
lean towards cencorship do
not realize that. Taste is an
area that varies greatly from
person along with intellect. I
could argue that ‘Platonic
Relationship’ is in excellent
taste because it deals with
an area that is particularly
at the fore during a person’s
teens and twenties, in fact
often for much more of a
person’s life. That area is
the question of the apprp-
riate place of sexual
relations in the rest of a
person’s life and how it
integrates with other areas
of human relations. The
‘What do we do now?’
phenomenon is one that
many have experienced and
many more will experience.
If you have resolved for
yourself the appropriate
place of sexual expression in
your life I applaud you. If,
however, you find it an
uncomfortable area to
approach I question your
apparent suggestion of —
censorship to cover your
difficulties.
