4 Free Forum ADVERTISEMENT November 2003 Free Forum cracks up and sees the light In the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Vest, Jack Nickolson's spirited character, McMurphy, departs an ongoing message - live free or die. The editors at Free Forum have concluded that escape is still possible even from the most oppressive conditions - and for the Free Forum, those conditions have turned out to be the design and content rules of a traditional newspaper format - which can be as inflexible as Nurse Ratched's rules! Inspired by the movie's last scene, we recognize that there is always a chance to seize destiny and escape the system. We will need writers for mini features, creators for exciting graphics, and other keeners who want to experience an innovative environment. Free Forum will be undergoing radical changes in the next month, and readers will be greeted with a new look, style, and content that is fresh, fun, and relevant to CNC Students and the Prince George community. However, as McMurphy learns in the end, a fight against conformity often comes with a heavy toll. Although the editors will not be submitting to the effects of a frontal lobe lobotomy, Free Forum will not be publishing a December issue, directing our energies instead into the January 2004 publication. We want to bring the paper-to a happier place... a place where design rules are broken each issue with spirited non-conformity, a place where social rules are thrown out the window like a limestone bathroom fixture. A place where CNC students determine thier destiny. li&S . -Mm sst-m , 'v .. S ' - os-"---"- ':? '''I ?'';jy ? '$ ' -. vJe 9m Z!0Vta ' fiWt; , 'r ;i ' f. A- HSffSWSyy ..
