The Other Press

 

 

To the Editor:

There should be more con-
sideration shown for students
who attend Douglas College at
night. Many of us night stu-
dents work during the day.
Whether it’s part-time or full-
time work, we are very tired by
the time we arrive at the col-
lege. Sometimes we arrive here
three hours before our class
starts and don’t know what to
do with ourselves. Would it be
possible to pull together and
unite as one crowd and one
voice? We could form an army
and cry out at the top of our
tounges about how unjustifiab-
ly BAD the coffee is at 6 PM. We
could scream louder than the
ALRT about what courses are
not offered at night in order for
us to complete our programs.
We could yell at teachers who
do not permit us to stop for our
long deserved 15 minute break.
And we could shout about the
book store not being open for
us even though you just did a
“suicide” run from. work to get
to the store before it closed.

These and many more
‘grumps’ will pass through the
minds of those who work dur-

‘ing the day and attend Douglas

College at night.

Douglas College’s Autonomous Student Newspaper

 

 

To the Typesetting Coordinator

Ever since reading your Au-
tonomous Student Newspaper,
I have been mystified by your
intriguing typesetting method,
leaving large white gaps in-
between (sic) and _ obviously
rarely bothering to justify
sentences. You must be doing
on purpose for a reason, be-
cause in the Nightlines layout
by Maria Janicker there are no
ugly holes. Perhaps Maria

Janicker does her own typesett-

ing and knows some-thing you
don’t.

On the other hand, it oc-
curred to me that you stretch
the copy on purpose to fill the
paper, but that doesn’t make
sense, because you could save
yourself money...

Your advertisement for
Player’s cigarettes I find
downright immoral. After see-
ing plees from people who are
dying from a miserable, painful
death due to heavy smoking,
you still have the gall to en-
courage young students to be-
come nicotine addicts. And all
this for a few measly doll-
ars...You ought to be ashamed
of yourselves.

Most sincerely disgusted,
Evie Montgomery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To the students of Douglas
College

In response to Evie
Montgomery’s letter, we apol-
ogize for the poor quality of the
typesetting in the past issues of
the Other Press. We had just
recently bought the new type-
setter and we are still working
all of the bugs out of it. As you
may see in this issue, we have
solved a lot of problems in the
way of spacing, making it a
much nicer looking paper. We
appreciate your input and hope
that more letters, regarding ei-
ther the look or the content of
the paper, will be forthcoming
from the students.
