Well it's time to write the last column of the year and my tost
column as editor of the J-TAC. But don't get excited, I've decided
I like to write these little things to I'm going to continue (or start)
to enlight you next year.
It's always-a tricky thing to decide on the subject matter for a
end-of-the year column, I could always make people mad be-
cause they can't get revenge through the Letters to the Editor
(we don't have another paper till next year), or I could go on the
old stand-by of what a great year it's been and how we would like
lor all yf you to have a fine sumiper, etc., etc, ^
I'll write about the tricky business of column writing. All at once
I have to out my name on this thing and that's kinda of scary,
especially if I want to get nasty, like talk about the (delicious?)
fd6d in the cafeteria, or the trials of dorm life and the problems
of living with three mothers and having them watch over you. And
if I want to get real nasty and say bad things about the administration,
putting my name on this thing is like cutting off my own head. Yes,
column writing is tricky business and I don't guess I've been at
it long enough to get in any really hot water. :
Writing a column is like talking to a friend that can't talk back
(until the next paper) and trying to make him understand how
you think about certain aspects of college life or life in parti-
cular. It's trying to make people understand you without hearing
their arguments. Tricky business? Yes, but fun. It's kinda of an
enlightening experience too, when someone comes up and tells
you how much they enjoyed your column. They usually say
"editorial" but are really talking about the column. It makes
all this seem worth-while.
But I could ramble on for inches about the good and bad points
of column writing.
I think I'll just end here and say something about having a good
summer and what a great year it's been, and how much I lave
really enjoyed being editor of this monster, and how much every-
one's encouragement has meant to me, especially, when every- ]
thing seemed really dark. There are so many people one need;
la thank at a time like this, but I'll just end here by saying, "Thanks
Gang, it's been a great year and I've enjoyed every minute of it."-

Dear Editor,
This isn't really to you, but
people read yor letters and may-
be someone will notice this and
maybe something will be done.
My question: Why isn't the flower
bed in front of the girl's dorm
being taken care of?
It's all grown over with grass
and weeds. Last spring and sum-
mer it was beautiful with yellow
and orange flowers almost solid.
Has everyone just qjiit caring?
Respectfully submitted

Dear Editor,
My attention wasT brought Ms
past Parent's Day Weekend, to
some of the improved conditions
on campus. The halls in the dorms
are waxed, local apt. pools are
clean ( or rather cleaner), and
the cafeteria had one of their
famous Parent's Day meals (fa-
mous because students' see such
meals so seldom). Why is it, that
w^, the students, who live here,
very seldom see such improve-
ments? Sure, it's nice to make
a big impression on the parents
especially since they help. to
finance the TSC campus), but I'm
sure the students who live here
approximately 4-9 months each
year would appreciate cleanups
more often,

We're expecting a big
shake-up around here when
the staff clown hulas at the
office party.
People with an urge to
pass bad bills often take
up politicking rather than
counterfeiting.
The longest period of time
between events is that which
ensues from the time the
Letts ts
and Involemetit
Well, this is the end-of-the-year editorial too. So we thought
we would give a fast rundown of all the exciting events on the TSC
campus that have warranted student unrest.
First, of all, the biggest thing to hit this campus, with all its
interest in world problems, was the controversy over the Campus
Cutie .spot in thei J-TAC. We received more letters to the editor
about this one grievance than any other topic the whole year. With
all the student demonstrations going across other campuses, we
get involved about whether or not an OWL, ETERNAS, or DST
face will smile from the pages of the J-TAC, But that's the policy
around here, anyway, "Keep apathy up and interest down" withi
world or student problems. Even the noise of the "almost" de-
monstration did not cause, as much trouble as the "big spot"
in the J-TAC.
Then one time this year, we received about 20 letters from
avid student readers who wanted to build a fireplace in the student
center, while the men's gym fell down and the library needed
money to buy more books to help us with our so-called "educa-
tion.",
Yes, we have received all kinds of letters this year, most of
them anti-J-TAC or rather anti-editor. But then, again, we only
receive letters from those who get excited enough or interested
eriough to sit down and write a letter, whether it be pro or con.
We thank all these people who have helped us, especially with
criticism.
One of the letters we have missed this year is the Crane Clim-
ber. It always added a little interest to our readers. Of course,
the Crane Climber never said much, but "Hi", but then that is
all our readers want to read.
But in all sincerity, we, the editorial staff, would like to thank
each and everyone of you who have written to us about your com-
, plaints, or have taken the time to read the paper. It makes it all
seem worth-while.
