EDITORIALS from the editor’s desk caitlin foreman Hello, Whetstone readers! As my j&rst let ter to you all, I again want to encourage you to be involved with our little publi cation here. The Whetstone is a great me dium to test the waters of writing for an audience, or just writing in general. Any of you who are interested in writing — journalistically or otherwise —should try to be involved. Even if you're not interest ed in writing long-term, there's nothing like sending a paper home to Mom that includes an article with your name on it. But in all seriousness, the staff of The Whetstone wants this publication to be truly/or the students by the students, and we can't do that without you. You don't have to commit to every issue; believe me, I know how busy you guys are be cause I'm right there with you. But this opportunity can be both an outlet for all the stress that classes are causing you and a way to hone your writing skills, which can actually help you write all those papers that are due. And this is all not to mention the fact that having written for a college news paper will look great on your resume in the future. We are open to all ideas ' you may have about what The Whetstone should in clude, too, so send us an e- mail anytime. Some things that we are planning to do in upcoming issues, which you may be interested in helping out with, are music and movie reviews, a devotional column, and any kind of permanent colunm, with a regu lar writer, about current events or just random thoughts. We're continuing to brainstorm about other ideas, as well. So if you think that The Whetstone is something you would like to be in volved in, e-mail us at whetstone® montreat.edu. We also readily wel come any letters to the editor, concern ing any of the paper's content, which can be addressed in following issues. Thanks for reading, and enjoy! staff column johnny mcdowell From the North to the South: The Boon Dock Saint Dia daoibh!—which means "hello' in Irish (Gaelic). Well, guys, this seems pretty random and it is! It was my idea to have an Irish column in The Whetstone.

Also, every year we have a Northern Irish student here, so each year we can just force the new student to work for The Whetstone. So I thought I'd start with a song. This is a traditional Irish song and I don't really know what it's talking about, but it's nice. So here goes; O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide And 1 am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me And if you come, when all the flowers are dying Next time, I will give you guys a little history of Ireland, in particular Northern Ireland. Oh, and if you have any questions about Ireland or anything, feel free to come and talk to me; I'm pretty approachable. Page 2, Oct. 26, 2007 The Whetstone
