Trite, But True—
We Aim To Please
First columns are difficult.
There are top many tjiings we
want to say—things which have
occurred to us over a period of
three years when writing, this
column was merely wishful
hoping.
Because we fear being labeled
a “sob sister,” we will refrain
from saying very much about
Collegian traditions and all they
have come to mean to us. We
just wanted to mention them and
voice briefly the appreciation,
the respect, and the affection we
have for our predecessors. It is
with a feeling approaching hu
mility that we “take over.”
Our creed is a simple one. We
promise to do our best. We will
strive constantly for accuracy and
fairness in covering the news.
We will try to print what we
think you will want to read. If
we ‘ make mistakes, we will run
corrections.
ion our editorial policy, sin-.
cerity, together with accuracy
and fairness, will be our goal.
We promise to investigate organ
izations and activities before we
offer comments arid suggestions.
Possibly some of you will dislike
what we feel we must say. Per
haps we will make mistakes.
Again, if we are wrong, we will
admit it and start over.
We want to inform you with
straight news stories, entertain
you with features, and interest
you in the edits. To be brief,
we aim to please you, the reader.
