David Mercer, Editor Editorial - March 16 1990 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. I warn all TWE 6TUDEW ASSOOTM RTT7NG TJ SQVEE2E 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 them to 3330 22nd Avenue Prince George B.C. V2N 1P8 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.
