-16- Dear Editor; I think f'iR CAMPUS CRIER newspaper is pretty good, but whoever types needs a few leasoxib. After I read it I went through and marked down some of the confusing mistakes. I guess they were typographical. On the first page the story about the Freshman elections didn't have a title. Wow I know we are underclassmen, but that's going right far. In that same story it said the polls would be open from :00 to 2:00 Since I wasa't in the Navy I wasn't sure when that was, but believe me nobody was there at itOp. And I don't know anything about "their SGA card" that students li^vevto present. Somebody else must have been using it. in the "Welcome Back" things it said there are several changes in the paper. I don't know what they are, but I could give a few suggestions. It said the "staff boasts of NONE columnists". I might agree, but I'd hate for my editor to announce it. And the staff sure changed from page one 'to page fourteen where the names were listed. - There was a headline that said . "COMMITT NEIfS". It was right. That news was worth committing if anything. One sentence said, "parents will be quests for the evening meal" , I guess it meant the meal because that is a quest for sure in that cafeteria, d^ly who wants to conquer? ; On page three there was another story about Freshman, but there was no "H" in the word. For a minute I was wondering who this, guy Fresman was that had a successful tribunal in the court, i should haver known it was only about orientation because successful court tribunals don't happen around here too ofteii do they? ; If I had a "hard-bioled" egg cracked over my head, I-d crder some dis infectant and sue the Board of Control. In the story about NSSGA (which for a minute I thought had a mistake in letters, too) it said."the Elon delegation will be APPOKTED shortly." If SGA does terrible things like that, no wonder so many people avoid it, I can't say too much about the article on the Student Affairs Committee. I guess the student's affairs around here are pretty secret because all the letters in the article were incognito. With a tag like "HELLENCI", no wonder that council has been panned sp much. I'll say one thing. That column "Ink Spots" was sure named right be cause there x^ere alot of them. The person who runs the paper off could be identified by fingerprints if he isn't careful. I wanted to see the "represent tl.ves " at Homecoming, Are they contagious? The "DATELON" column was neat. But if they want two Senators with the quality of "honesly". no wonder they have a hard time getting them. That guy who wrote "Impressions Prom A Freshman" is on my side. He ,s^i.d,"I was interested in the CAMPUS CRIER so here I am, but it's all one ’g^-ea^ big mistake,'.' He was wrong though. It's all a bunch of little mistakes. He said his "Uncle Wou would give, him a uniform," I didn't know we had a Chinese student here, I guess maybe he stutters because then he said, "Before we leave the subject of religion for something more inter-interestine ,,,.but most people are pretty "outer-interested anyhow. If he wishes Mlsi^ T:pageser would give him a uniform, I just wish she'd get uniform, period! The proverbs at the bottom of the page were sure deep, it said "The secret of success is not in doing your won work." Maybe some SGA officer wrote that. It's unbelievable for sure that lytr, Hassell was born with hair on his head, but he was born -with two ,1' s in his name. I guess it's unbelievable, that I care. Well—there weren't any more mistakes on that page. In fact, the next couple pages are so .perfect they make me mad. In "THINK" it says, "I'Jho are you ‘It SURFICES well to answer,,,," A better mistake would be ,"It SURFACES well to answer," I guess the rest of the cplumn is 0,K. I didn't know what half the words meant anyway. But, I'm a j math major. In the "Bulletin Board" part it said, "there will be a FASHOIN SH0E"r-^' Ijs there a Cockney shoemaker on the staff or are they related to Ed Sullivan, Anyhox^, except for some letters that had hiccups, that paper wasn't bad. If the head of it is mad at me, at least she loiows I read the thing. ' SJM Pj^S,' I can't wait to see v^hat I said, after it is interpreted by the typist, Edl' Note: I appreciate the thorough dissection. Would the person who wrote this care to become a typist?
