February 4, 2004 From The Editor Dear Douglas College students, staff, and friends, The team is back from NewFoundland and boy, did we have a good time. I mean, we sure learned a lot. No, but really, we did. Between snow balls fights, cod kissing, and getting screeched in, we were net-working like crazy. We met so many new friends. I am con- vinced that everyone should really get involved with their student press. We even recruited. a new member, Wilson. He is super-great and excited to be working with our team. To see how excited everyone was about working in the industry was very refreshing. It renewed my passion for the paper, for my own writing, and for the craft. This issue is jam-packed with fantastic articles, and it is great to see so many people putting their thoughts to paper and con- tributing. Keep up the good work, everyone! Woo hoo, reading break is coming up...meet you at the bar? I mean, the library? Only kid- ding, Il be in Disneyland. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! I love you. Bye Bye.
