Why are you reading this editorial?
Didn't you know that editorials are the most _ boring
part of any newspaper, only read by boring people and
the writer? .

Maybe you’re reading this editorial because your're
interested in what The Other Press has to say. If so,
then read on.

Next September, The Other Press is going to be short-
staffed. That's not a new problem, this paper is always
low on people-power, but what is new is the sererity of
the problem.

One person does not a newspaper make and right now
one is the total number of returning staffers for next
year. Without more people there is a possibility that
this paper may not publish and that predicament would
perturb previous years’ pressers.

Besides the opportunity of staying up till all hours of
the night working on this journalisticly excellent paper,
staff members have the shared pleasure of dropping
courses and/or achieving low grades in order to produce
the best possible paper for the students of Douglas
College.

And besides the incredible amount of fun the staff has
drinking on production nights, we also provide an
essential service to students that is neglected by the
other media in the college, namely informing students
about issues on and off campus. One week it may be a
big story on tuition increases, the next maybe program
cutbacks, or overcrowding, or vandalism, or any number
of topics that are relevant to post-secondary students.

And as we've said so many times before, no one person
runs the show. Everyone, whether on their first issue or

 

their fiftieth, gets a say on all decisions,
