Once
again,
Spring
Break
(or
the
Reading
Break,
as
some
like
to
call
it)
went
by
too
fast.
It
had
just
barely
started
by
the
time
it
was
over.
BHeast
that's
how
I
felt
about
it.
Anyway,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
last
editorial,
it
is
prime
time
to
start
thinking
about
the
quality
of
the
Free
Press.
This
issue
was
to
be
dedicated
to
the
arts
and
to
creativity;
however,
we
did
not
give
enough
time
to
receive
submissions.
Hopefully,
we
will
be
able
to
do
this
in
the
next
issue.
If
it
is
successful,
we
will
try
to
uphold
this
standard
in
future
issues.
Now
on
to
more
important
things.
I
would
like
to
announce
the
arrival
of
the
three
new
staff
members.
First,
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
Jody
Silver,
who
is
our
new
layout
assistant.
Although
he
didn't
help
predominandy
with
last
issue,
he
is
eager
to
work,
and
you
can
see
his
efforts
in
this
issue.
Our
second
new
arrival
is
Cheryl
McFadden.our
photo-journalist.
She
is
like
a
regular
journalist,
except
she
includes
pictures
with
her
stories.
And
lastly,
but
not
least,
is
John
Togyi,
our
new
reporter.
John
tells
me
he
was
a
reporter
for
the
local
paper
in
Ft.
St.
James.
We
are
lucky
to
have
his
experience.
So
this
is
March.
Big
deal.
jC'lfik
(k,
They
say
if
March
comes
in
like
a
lion,
it
goes
out
like
a
lamb,
and
vice-versa.
I'd
say
the
lion
and
the
lamb
are
fighting
for
first
place.
I'd
give
five
bucks
for
the
lamb
to
win.
Who
could
turn
down
an
offer
like
that?
March
seems
to
be
the
turning
point
for
winter
here
in
Prince
George.
Its
the
time
when
the
snow
slowly
melts,
and
leaves
large
puddles
on
the
road
and
enough
sand
to
give
Long
Beach
a
face-lift.
The
days
are
warmer,
the
sky
is
bluer,
and
one
can
smell
the
sweet
smell
of
the
ever-present
pulp
mills
and
mildewing
grass.
For
college
students,
it
means
midterm
exams,
Reading
Break,
and
speed-trenches
that
come
back
with
a
vengeance
after
the
snow
is
gone.
Its
nice
to
sit
outside
again
and
leave
your
worries
behind.
Better
still,
it's
nice
to
sit
outside
and
leave
your
homework
behind
as
well.

ON
THE
FREE
PRESS-
The
Free
Press
would
like
you
to
know
that
we
do
NOT
correct
spelling
or
gramatical
errors
in
Letters
to
the
Editor,
as
this
might
distort
the
intended
meaning
of
the
letter.
We
also
reserve
the
right
not
to
print
any
letter
submitted
for
any
reason
whatsoever.
The
Free
Press
welcomes
reader'
letters.
Please
send

of
you
not
to
be
sucked
into
the
habit
of
doing
this
too
often,
or
your
grades
will
join
your
homework
and
your
worries.
The
Free
Press
is
back
on
track
again.
Hopefully
we
can
finish
off
the
year
without
any
more
problems
or
setbacks.
In
these
last
few
months,
I
would
like
to
see
the
Free
Press
contain
more
student
involvement,
in
the
form
of
creativity.
I
would
like
to
see
the
quality
of
this
paper
improve,
and
to
expand
it
to
fill
16
to
20
pages,
instead
of
12.
This
will
take
some
time,
but
we
can't
be
a
true
school
newspaper
without
some
school
input.
If
you
have
any
ideas
that
you
think
are
worth
mentioning,
we'd
like
to
hear
from
you.
Send
us
a
letter,
or
drop
in
some
time.
The
address
is
printed
on
this
page.
That's
all
I
have
to
comment
on
for
now.
I
look
forward
to
next
issue.
