Editorial

Welcome to the dog days of summer and
the July issue of the Other Press. The sum-
mer semester is in full crawl, the weather is
fine, and, well, it’s pretty quiet around the
hallowed halls of Douglas College. There are
times when one could almost hear a ballpoint
pen drop.

The office of the Other Press is no excep-
tion, outside of the one or two crazy weeks
on either side of copy deadlines. Otherwise,
the quiet din and hum of abeyant computers
reflects the slow and disparate grind of the
summer semester.

It is a good time to indulge and enjoy the
benefits of academia without the photocopier
line-ups in the library, full computer labs, and
other pressures relative to the fall and winter
semesters. It is a time to be good to yourself,
slow down and appreciate the flavours of the
season. It is a good time to kick back and
read your student paper.

As you have no doubt noticed, the cover of
this issue is somewhat provocative, indeed it
may be the very reason you bothered to pick
the paper up. And | am unashamed to admit
that the graphic was designed to elicit your
attention, but | assure you that to warrant
such ruthless tactics we have troubled our-
selves to provide copy on the subject in a
mature and intelligent manner. It is not our
intention to shock or offend, but to engage
and stimulate the senses from the languor of
the season.

| hope the July issue of the Other Press
reflects our monthly endeavour to improve
each issue, so that by September, we will
have ironed out the quirks and quarks, and
we will be primed for the not so lackadaisical
nature of the fall semester.

Sincerely, Adam Honsinger, Editor
