DATE: MAY 17, 1979
RE: GUEST FACULTY EDITORIALS
In order to build..a better relationship between the faculty and students here on campus, I would like to offer each and every faculty member the opportunity to submit a guest editorial. This would be a weekly or biweekly column featuring a different faculty member each issue. The main heading would be "Faculty Footnotes" in order to distinguish it from other articles on the page. A sub-heading would be present upon the author's consent. This is a marvelous way for you to let the students know how you feel on any subject prevalent in today's society.
If you are interested please feel free to contact myself or just send the article over to the CRIER office. This will be a first come, first print system so don't put it off. Also, you may submit more than one article. This will be a good way for the CRIER to improve our relations with both students and faculty. PLEASE HELP
US OUT AND SUBMIT AN ARTICLE.

STUDENT NEWSPAPER
PURPOSE:
The student newspaper should cover activities and stories pertaining to the College and student life. Its main purpose is to inform. It should reflect the interest of the student body at lar^e and not the interests or desires of a portion of the student body alone.
EDITORIALS:
Editorials should be discussed at scaff meetings so that they will reflect the feeling of the staff. Editorials may appear unsigned if 75 per cent or more of the staff are in accord with the editorial. If 50-75 per cent of the staff favor the editorial, it must be sinned by its author. If less than 50 per cent of the staff are in favor of a specific editorial, it should not be printed as an editorial but should be considered for the "Letters to the Editor" colum.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
Letters to the editor should be limited to a 200 word maximum and must be sinned. In general, letters from non-students should not be accepted.
The editorial staff has the right to refuse letters which are in poor taste.
COPY:
In general, copy should come under the heading of stories, interviews or reviews. It is best to avoid the personal column as this gives the individual writer too Teat an importance in the overall publication.
All stories, interviews or reviews must be accepted by the staff in its regular meeting.
Reviews or critiaues should attempt to criticize in a constructive manner. They should not be used as vehicles for invective or sarcasm.
Deadlines should be set for the handing in of copy and for the publication of tne paper. If sufficient news is not available, the paper should be reduced in size or should skip a publication date rather than have a poor issue merely for the sake of publication. Stuaents who do not meet deadlines should be dropped from the staff. Inactivity or absence from three staff meetings mimht lead to a student being suspended from the publication.
STYLE:
Since the newspaper reflects the image of the College to the public, the staff should turn to its faculty advisor for assistance in style, grammar, and punctuation. Mo story should ever be accepted as handed in, for all writing should be open to editing by the staff in order to remove any infelicities of style or grammar.

Different rates should be set for "Personal Notices" than for business advertisements. Care should be taken that stories pertaining to non-college events should not serve as free advertisements (i.e. admission prices, etc. should not be quoted in news stories).
All advertising should be in good taste and any advertising of a questionable nature or quality should be refused. Although paid political advertising Is permissable, the advertisin'? columns of the newspaper should never be permitted to overshadow the primary purpose of the College paper:	to reflect the activities and news of the College.
