Getting involved with
The Pendulum pays off
TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR THESE PERFORMANCES:

What you have just begun
riding may be the longest
Help Wanted" ad in the history
of newspapering. But, then,
when you're the editor and need to
»ll space, you can do this kind of
thing.
As those of you who have
glanced at past issues oi The
^^ndulum may have noticed, we
have a new look. This change
can be attributed to two factors:
(1) a complete lack of sleep on
part of this week's tiny staff
2nd (2) a pair of spanking-new
Apple Macintosh computers
which are supposed to make our
jobs much easier . . . and they
(b!
We are truly excited about
pur new equipment, and we
intend to use it to make a more
attractive, more readable, more
Jl^der-oriented paper. In order to
o this, though, we need help.
Our primary concern is
building a strong staff. We are
currently seeking individuals
‘nterested in reporting, art,
photography, layout design,
advertising sales, typesetting, and
just about anything else you can
‘uiagine.
And—here's the kicker—you
^on t have to be a journalism or
communications major to work
for a college paper. You don't
®ven need prior experience,
business majors can use their
skills in our advertising
apartment, people interested in
computers can certainly lend a
and, and those individuals with
an artisitic flair can draw and
design.
What's in it for you? The
cy word on college campuses
[olay seems to be "resume." So,
>n an effort to conform, I will
Simply mention the fact that
potential employers look for
Extracurricular as well as
academic involvement
A student who works on a
College publication is bound to
*^ake an impression upon those
®*^Ployers. For a journalism or
communicatins major, practical
Experience is absolutely essential.
^ny students expressed an
'nierest in our weekly paper at
Wednesday's Opportunity Expo.
But if you missed the Expo - or
if this amazingly lengthy "Help
Wanted" ad has in any way
persuaded you to join our merry
band - please contact us. No
matter what your interest, we
will train you and put you to
work.
Call and arrange for an
interview at your earliest
convenience!

Now, for those of you who
have no interest whatsoever in
working for the paper, we can
still use your help. One of the
best ways for us to determine our
success among readers is to hear
from them.
If you have a question,
comment, or concern, please feel
free to contact us. We can't make
any promises or guarantees, but
our goal is to serve the
community through reporting
news fair and accurately. And,
above all, if you like what we're
doing, please don't hesitate to let
us know! Reader feedback helps
us gauge our efforts.
Another way to get involved
with The Pendulum without
becoming fully immersed in the
entire newspaper business is to
provide news tips.
Whether you know of a class
that is organizing a special
project or an individual who has
done something remarkable, or if
you have a concern about
something within the college or
community, let us know. Once
again, we cannot guarantee
coverage; yet we feel an
obligation to report on activities,
people, and events that you — our
readers - find newsworthy.
Obviously, you don't have to
be a member of The Pendulum
staff to get involved with the
campus paper. We welcome any
suggestions or news tips you can
provide.
