Hello, this is your new editor Frankly Speaking
speaking
Well, Elon has appointed a new Pendulum Editor and this time I’m afraid it’s me.
I am glad that I have the opportunity to be editor. My goal for the next year will
be to give the Elon student body, faculty, and staff, the information they want to read
about. I want to print what you want to know.
I will always be open for suggestions. If there are any ideas that you have, about
the paper or any certain articles that you want printed, please let me know. This is
a college newspaper and I believe the college should be involved in every aspect of
It. If you want to voice your opinion about any subject that may relate to the paper,
or the campus, then 1^ all means send a letter to the editor, me. The one thing that
I ask, is please sign and print your name at the end of the letter. I also hope to see
letters from the faculty and staff of Elon. Your opinions are just as important as the
students.
Wbrking for the Pendulum has given me valuable experience in the journalism field.
Working here can also give any of you students experience as well. You don’t have
to be a Journalism major or a Mass Communication major to work here. Reporting
jobs are available to anyone that has an interest in writing or reporting. Working here
can also give you the opportunity to meet and talk with other students and faculty
that you may have never gotten the chance to meet.
We plan to put out a fectual and informative paper each week and I hope that it
will meet everyones standards. I hope to gain more knowledge about this field and
I hope that what I learn here will help me later. If there is something you don’t like
about the paper or my style of editing then please let me know about it.
Your new editor - John Hoyle
