letters to the editor Publications Board Open Letter to the Meredith Community: Do you know how you can make comments or suggestions about the four publications on campus? Students, faculty and staff at Meredith can contact the Publications Board about problems, issues or ideas for any or all of the publications. The Publications Board was re-estab- lished in 1985 by request of the Student Life Committee to serve the college publications and the Meredith Com munity. The Board reviews the quality of the publications, provides construc tive evaluation and suggestions for the campus publications, and serves as a forum for editors, advisors, and board members to consider mutual publica tions concerns. In addition the board is responsible for reviewing annually the constitutions, by-laws, and guidelines that govern our publications, planning and sponsoring in-service training pro grams and workshops for our publica tions' editors and staff and creating an effective communications network be tween student publications and the Mere dith community. The Board is composed of a chair man, three faculty representatives (at least one being a representative from the English Department), five students, two additional members who represent particular organizations, activities and /or professions, the College Editor, and up to seven members at large. Student members are appointed by the Director of Student Activities. Members are ap pointed for a one year term. This year's members are as follows: Mary Ann Lisenba, senior, Publications Board Chairman; Dr. Doug Wakeman, Dept, of Economics & Business, Publi cations Board Vice-Chair; Beth Turner, senior. Publications Board Secretary; Ms. Nan Miller, English Dept., Herald Subcommittee Chair; Dr. John Saun ders, Dept, of Religion & Philosophy, Oak Leaves, Acorn, and Meredith Col’ lege Studer)t Handbook Subcommittee Chair; Denise Bare, freshman; Court ney Latta,freshman; Susan Liles, sopho more; Carolyn Booth, Freelance Writer/ Photographer: Carolyn Hill, Publications Specialist; Carolyn Robinson, College Editor; Cindy Edwards, Advisor.

Any comments or suggestions con cerning our publications are welcomed. Please submit written comments to Mary Ann Lisenba at 226 Barefoot. Your response is genuinely appreciated. —Mary Ann Lisenba Publications Board Chflir A pampered generation Dear Editor: My mother has always said that we young people do not know just how easy we have it. When I read the article, .“Traditions,” I realized how simple things have become for our generation. For example, we no longer have to lie out in the hot sun for several hours in order to get a tan; now all we have to do is visit a local tanning booth for twenty minutes. Also, today we do not have to spend as much time as our parents or grandparents did in preparing our meals. Now, we simply pop it into the micro wave for a few minutes. The article, "Traditions” stated that through the years college students’ loads have been cut down and simpli fied greatly. I question whether the reduction of our curriculum does more harm than help. Is it actually helpful to simplify the requirements of our educa tion? I believe that the older generation should concentrate more on encourag ing us to carry our education further instead of cutting it back. Informed about Fetzer Dear Editor: I am writing to compliment the staff on an outstanding job with the newspaper, as well as to comment on the article' “Tom Fetzer Speaks to College Repub licans” In your Vol. 4, No. 4 edition of the Meredith Herald. The commercial thatTom Fetzer has been running on NBC has not been very Informative to me. It has in no way helped me decide who is the best can didate for Congress. In the commercial, Mr. Fetzer speaks of the issues of pre sidential candidate Bush and what Governor Martin believes In; however, he does not speak of any issues in which he personally believes in. How ever, having missed Tom Fetzer’s speech, I found the article prepared in the Meredith Herald very detailed and informative. After reading the article, I felt as if I had actually heard his speech. The article thoroughly explains what he believes in; for example, he says he will not vote “no” to tax increase and if elected he will vote for a balanced budget amendment. He also expresses his concerns about the spread of com munism in Central America. This clear and informative article writ ten by Krista Holloman has certainly given me a better outlook on Tom Fetzer, something a multi-thousand dol lar commercial was not able to do. NBC needs an article like this one to televise so that the whole nation may receive a clearer outlook on one of our potential candidates for Congress. ^Lou Curtis —Valerie Langdon KNOW WHO YOUR PUBLICATION EDITORS ARE!
