This Is Your Newspaper
An Editorial By Wofford Caughi
As editor of the paper this ganization, none of the staff
year, I hope to bring to you,
the students especially, a
paper that you will look for
ward to receiving. You
might ask how can I do this
in a small college paper like
the Pilot. I know that there
is no way possible for the
Pilot to come out with the
hottest, latest news.
Right now I would like to
explain how the Pilot staff
works. It is a volunteer or-
students just like everybody
else and has to pull their
own academic load.
How can we put out a
paper that people will look
, , ., forward to receiving? The
m, proofread, typed and laid ^est way is to make it a
out for the printer. Then it students,
receives credit for the work
they do. After each staff
member gets their assign
ment he has a week to get it
usually takes close to a week
for the printer to get the
paper back to us. So, right
there the news is close to
two weeks old. We would
like to cut down the time,
but the staff of the Pilot are
Letter To The Editor
We, too, believe that one of the major subjects of conver
sation is that of rules, for males and females.
We agree that females should have less restrictive rules,
particularly curfew hours. However, it should be noted that
the reason for curfew is mainly that of protection, after all,
the administration is partly responsible for all of us.
Also, we believe the “concerned female” has not con
sidered the institution in which she is referring to. Gardner-
Webb is a Christian school and must write their rules ac
cordingly.
As far as discrimination goes males must comply to the
rule of hair length. How would girls like having hair above
the collar? We live with it and as a matter of fact, we sup
port it. If males must have curfews, then it is only fair that
girls should have their hair cut. And if she thinks the dis
crimination is bad now, then perhaps she should plan on be
ing a hermit because discrimination against women is much but we are doing this to keep
worse in society. the author from being con-
In closing, we would like to see the females’ rules slack

paper where the students
can view their own opinions.
Maybe the Pilot put too
many restrictions upon the
people who would like to
write a ‘Letter to the Edi
tor’, we are changing this
rule. You can have as many
words as you wish, but we
still ask you to sign your
name to each entry. If you
wish for the Pilot to with
hold your name in the paper
just add this request to the
entry, but the Pilot is to
know the author. Don’t
worry, every entry will be
destroyed after publication
and only the editor of the
Pilot will know who the au
thor was.
Many people expressed to
the Pilot that we should
have the people’s name to
each ‘Letter to the Editor’,
fronted by people who might
think differently on the sub-
that if the rule is changed, then the “concerned female” ject. Of course, if you wish
should approach it with a better frame of mind and consider
the rule as a whole. After all, it does have a genuine purpose
