Editorial Hey everybody! A belated welcome back from all of us here at the Free Forum! We hope you all had a safe and enjoyable summer, and wish you all the best in the current academic year. Well, the faces here at CNC have changed somewhat, and so have those here at the paper. Jolene Brisbois, Kim Bonnell, and Anne Blanchard have all left us to pursue career, and we wish them luck and success in all their ventures. Justin Simon and I have returned, and joining us are Geoffrey Anthony and Valentine Crawford. This is the part were you wish us luck, as we are all kind of newbie's. It is an exciting time for the paper. Starting next issue, we will no longer be the Free Forum. In addition to the name change, look for a major overhaul in all aspects of the paper, from look and layout to content, as we will have several fresh voices with us this year. That's not to say everything has changed. The Ridicularium, our tribute to the inane, will swing open if s heavy play-do gates in this very issue, and will continue to do so for as long as people do stupid things; in other words, for the foreseeable future. We will also do our best to keep you posted on events in the College and in our community, as well as important issues and stories from around B.C., Canada, and Earth. We appreciate you taking the time to check out our paper, and hope you will continue to do so in the future. We'll do our best to keep it informative and entertaining, and as always we invite you to put your two cents in. Feel free to drop off articles, opinions, poems, short stories, pictures, drugs, or anything else you want at our office, in room 1-120, right next to your Students Association. Have a great year, and don't eat the yellow snow. No matter what you're drunken friends say.
