Hello
F.P.
faithful,
(is
there
such
a
thing?).
Well,
another
day
another
issue.
The
last
issue
of
the
Free
Press
has
so
far
garnered
rave
reviews
from
students,
faculty,
staff,
and
advertisers
alike.
It
seemed
it
was
actually
well
received
by
everybody.
Well,
everybody
except
the
Student
Association
Executive.
This
brings
me
to
an
apology
of
sorts
and
the
topic
of
today's
editorial.
You
see,
the
Student
Association
funds
this
paper
(well
actually
they
redirect
your
funds
to
this
paper).
In
doing
this,
they
have
decided
that
since
they
decide
where
your
m
oney
goes
they
should
also
decide
what
you
say
in
your
newspaper.
Okay,
I'll
start
from
the
beginning.
In
the
previous
issue
of
the
C.N.C.
F.P.
a
poem
(untitled
on
page
5
of
Volume
14,
Issue2)
appeared.
Prior
to
that
our
new
Internal
Officer
had
read
it
and
decided
that
there
might
be
a
problem
with
the
poem.
She
decided
to
discuss
it
with
members
of
the
student
Association
Executive.
A
Free
Press
Editor
(namely
me)
was
in
attendance
at
the
following
Student
Association
meeting.
However,
the
poem
was
not
discussed
and,
having
a
deadline
to
m
eet,
we
went
to
print
.
(If
we
do
not
get
the
issue
outontimewemustanswertoscreaminghordesof
advertisers,
definitely
not
a
pretty
sight.)
So
yes,
we
did
print
a
piece
of
student's
work
without
the
permission
of
the
Student
Association
Executive.
Or
more
correctly
we
printed
a
piece
of
student's
work
after
being
directly
ordered
not
to.
This
was
probably
not
the
m
ost
mature
way
to
deal
with
a
confrontation,
I
will
admit.
I
will
also
admit,
though,
that
at
Twelve
A.M.
on
layout
day
with
a
deadline,
an
exam
and
an
essay
due
the
next
morning,
the
thought
of
trying
to
come
up
with
1
3rd
of
a
page
of
text
is
not
an
appealing
job.
So
why
did
it
happen
and
why
might
it
happen
again.
Well,
simply
put,
I
am
an
Editor
of
a
college
newspaper.
A
college
newspaper
has
a
few
priorities,
namely
the
students,
the
staff
of
that
paper,
and
any
other
people
involved,
in
that
order.
Yes
the
Student
Association
does
sign
our
checks
(something
for
which
we
are
eternally
grateful).
But,
does
this
paper
have
any
autonomy,
or
are
we
simply
a
Student
Association
Executive
Newsletter
and
propaganda
machine
We
have
a
mandate
to
the
student,body
to
print
what
they
want;
that
is
our
sole
purpose
of
being.
We
are
here
to
give
the
students
of
this
college
a
platform
to
voice
opinion,
to
be
heard
and
to
be
informed.
I,
for
one,
would
like
to
protect
that
mandate.
If
a
student
submits
material
to
this
paper
he
or
she
wishes
to
be
heard
and
has
every
right
to
be
heard,
after
all
he
or
she
pays
for
this
paper
through
S.A.
fees.
As
long
as
that
person
does
not
cross
the
boundaries
of
racism
and
sexism
there
is
no
reason
that
they
should
be
censored
by
the
student
Association
or
any
other
interest
group.
The
criticisms
of
the
poem
were
vague

"At
City
University
our
mission
and
destre
is
to
provide
men
and
women
with
quality
education
that
is
accessible,
affordable
and
useful."
Michael
A.
Pastore,
PhD.,
President.
City
University
has
been
a
fixture
at
the
College
of
New
Caledonia
for
over
four
years.
We
organize,
direct
and
facilitate
the
local
MBA
program
(Masters
of
Business
Administration)
mainly
for
working
adults.
Our
classes
run
two
nights
a
week
for
two
classes
each
quarter.
Instead
of
semesters
we
run
on
four,
ten
week
academic
quarters,
the
same
as
the
four
seasons
of
each
year.
Over
the
last
five
years
we
have
had
sixteen
graduates
earn
their
masters
degree
from
various
professional
areas.
We
also
offer
a
business
certificate
which
requires
that
the
student
finish
his
or
her
first
two
years
of
university
transfer
or
complete
a
college
diploma.
These
certificates
in
various
business
specialty
areas
show
employers
that
students
possess
certain
qualities
in
business
that
will
be
an
asset
to
their
firms.
The
best
part
of
our
program
however
is
that
students
can
take
their
courses
by
evening
classes
or
by
distance
learning.
Of
course
this
means
that
they
can
work
full
time
and
pay
as
they
go
Instead
of
sinking
further
into
debt.
So
be
sure
to
consider
a
certificate
or
MBA
at
City
University
after
your
associates
degree
or
college
certificate,
it
may
be
the
edge
you
need
for
that
"perfect"
job.
som
ewhat
childish
in
a
way.
Some
m
embers
of
the
S.A.
said
that
they
based
their
objections
on
the
notion
that
it
might
offend
any
'jocks'
in
the
student
body.
Well,
as
yet
no
'jocks'
have
voiced
their
opinion
in
this
matter.
It
maybe
that
athletic
people
all
over
this
world
should
unite
and
beat
down
these
harmful
stereotypes.
The
horror
and
injustice
must
stop.
Jocks
must
show
the
world
that
we
are
people,
too.
Well,
Maybe
...
NOT!
Jock
rights
just
aren't
an
issue
in
society
today.
Besides,
the
poem
was
not
directed
at
anyone
in
particular.
It
was
stating
one
person's
poetic
opinion.
So
what
to
do?
as
an
Editor,
all-be-it
an
assistant
one,
I
still
feel
that
the
F.P.
has
to
maintain
some
distance
from
the
S.A.
in
order
for
us
to
do
cur
job
properly.
How
could
wehonestlyreportanymisuse
orwrongdoingin
the
Student
Association
Executive
if
they
are
there
to
censor
us.
How
could
we
report
opinions
contrary
to
members
of
the
Student
Association,
even
if
they
are
the
opinions
of
the
student
body
(say
the
m
ascot
was
a
horrible
waste
of
2000bucks,
for
example)
if
the
student
association
executive
censors
us.
It
maybe
I
am
being
evasive
in
the
avoidance
ef
guilt,
still
I
believe
that
the
student
body
needs
a
voice
where
it
can
print
its
views
on
any
subject,
within
limits,
without
having
the
fear
of
being
too
risque
and
getting
censored.
I
mean
the
author
actually
used
the
word'dick'
in
reference
to
a
part
of
the
male
anatomy.
This
must
havebeen
to
much
forsomeof
our
younger
S.A.E.
officers.
Nowlhave
tried
to
remain
calm,
rational,
and
mature
but
to
them
I
must
say
this:
DICK,
DICK,
DICK,
DICK,
DICK,
DICK,DICK,
DICK,DICK,
DICK,
DICK,DICK,DICK,DICK
And
that
ain't
short
for
Richard
either
Honey!
So
sorry
if
I
had
to

here
at

Dear
Bob:
Bob,
me
and
my
friends
want
to
know
one
thing.
What
is
the
meaning
of
life?
After
exhausting
our
brains
this
past
weekend,
(amongst
other
things)
we
still
have
not
been
enlighted.
Please
help
us
with
our
query.
My
house
will
not
survive
another
weekend
of
torture
like
these
last
few
days
Thank
You
Dear
Writer:
As
a
fellow
philospher,
I
have
indeed
pondered
this
very
question
that
you
have
asked.
I
have
come
to
only
one
conclusion
about
the
meaning
of
life.
The
meaning
is
different
for
everyone
but
the
basic
principle
is
the
same.
To
be
satisfied
is
the
only
requirement.
To
have
your
own
goals
and
to
work
to
the
realization
of
those
godspereomfies
theperson
and
justifies
existance
for
every
individual
on
the
planet.
For
instence
it
is
my
belief
that
a
garbageman
can
have
more
meaning
in
his
life
if
he
is
satisfied,
moreso
than
a
politician
if
he
is
not
satisfied
with
his
role
in
life.
So
you
see
that
the
meaning
of
life
is
satisfaction
and
the
greater
the
satisfaction
with
yourself
and
you
goals
the
higher
quality
of
life
you
will
enjoy.
Than
you
for
your
letter
fellow
student
I
hope
to
enj
oy
answering
m
ore
questions
in
the
near
future.
Dear
Bob!
