Show I November 12, Forum Page 2 1982 letteRS to the edrtoR Criticism of the Forum, reported in the news article on ASWC budget actions in this issue, deserves an editorial response. I know that our editor is dedicated to the concept of an open discussion of different student viewpoints in the Forum. Name calling is a different matter. If students think that editorial censure has silenced valid arguments, why not submit them without name calling. Kelly Morrison told the Legislative Assembly on November 5, that students were dissatisfied with the subjects of articles and with lack of correspondence between students and the newspaper. Newspaper staff members cant write the where is it? correspondence for students Last week's issue of the Forum (Nov. 5) featured a Letter to the Editor from Sue Snow asking for student participation. Leslie Helm, Ellipsis editor, has but where are the letters submitted another letter from students who think their views have been neglected? Where are the story ideas? I dont know how including the Forums editorial policy in every issue of the newspaper would accomplish much more than misuse of limited space space that could be used to print student letters and but if that could inspire students to do opinions their part of the corresponding, without name calling, Im sure youll see it done (Writers ioas in pledges from alumni October 25 through November 4. Approximately 30 volunteers made calls from First Security Bank facilities to raise money and update information on alumni. Maggie Aloia called the Phonathon a great effort by all the volunteers.

A female student had her class ring valued at $140 and $100 cash stolen from her locker in Payne Gymnasium. A male student had a brand new pair of athletic shoes stolen and a small amount of cash. In both cases, bolt cutters were used on the locks. Both incidents were reported to the enjoyed and support the comments in Sue Snows letter to the editor in the last issue of the Forum, November 5, 1982. The staff of the FORUM is not a tight little clique. I was not aware that it was considered such. I suspect that students think that if they are not involved in a journalism class or major, they are not able to write in the student newspaper. But thats the point. The Forum is a student newspaper. As such, it will best succeed with student input, involvement, and participation. I believe that ideas and talents only grow through expression and exercise. The Forum is but one of several mediums of expression at Westminster. The Ellipsis and the Etosian are two others. I encourage all students and members of the Westminster community to express themselves through whatever opportunity they can. I Westminsters Third Annual Phonathon raised $14,150 as reported by Sue Snow continued from page Ellipsis Editor Student Input Encouraged Forum staff members.) Don Holiday By Legislator Assembly, Arts and Letters out of town uhen this West, with the exception of Utah, the issues were primarily locally oriented. Utah swept every Republican spot. The issues, if they were to be of local matters, were not voiced by enough voters. The nations economy was on the Utah voter's mind. One state that had local matters on its mind was California. Jerry Brown lost his bid for the Democratic senate seat, because the voters of California would not forget the meddly issue. They felt Brown, as their governor, had failed them in their issue. Some campaigns were decided by the competency or incompetency of the candidates and their workers. for under $1,400. Staying significantly under an already low budget, we were able to put out a limited edition of the Ellipsis. It should be obvious to anyone that to put out a larger issue, more money is needed. If the Ellipsis is budgeted for only $1,600, it will be a quality issue, but once again it will be greatly limited. issue toas prepared for typesetting. Thus, the above editorial is uritUn as an attempt to express her viewpoint anj that of all Editor economy. In the South and 198T82, money that was already allocated to the Ellipsis went to pay some other organizations overdue bills. We were asked if we could put together a quality limited edition Leslie Helm, Wrap-U- p Tip ONeil, Speaker of the House, said, The election November 2 will be a national mandate against President Reagan. The Speaker of the Houses comment was not true. Most of the nation endorsed the plan of the President to "stay the course. Nationwide, the voters went to the polls to decide on local issues or the economy. In the East and Midwest, where unemployment is high, the voters message to the White House was the of a workable amount of $2,800. To extend this issue even further, I would like to of question the justification for the proposed budget cut the Ellipsis from $2,800 to $1,600. The circular logic of it all astounds me. We were told in the Budget Hearings that the amount had been cut because members of the ASWC cabinet had decided that since the issue was so small last year, we didnt deserve any more money this the issue was I year. Need remind you yet again just why so limited? Because of an error on the part of ASWC in the future. Anne Sanders Election would like to take this opportunity to respond to 1982-8- 3 a statement made by Mike Black in the article edition. I Budget Proposal Rejected in the October 29 had no idea that our budget requests were being considered so lightly that it would be assumed that we a little. Had I been expect our budgets to get cut aware of this attitude, I certainly would have taken that into consideration and requested at least $5,000 instead I Kathleen Hammond, Reporter and Acting Assistant to the Editor Note: Guest Editorial Dollars Equal Quality poUce. 0 orZoq OOOOOOOf NOVEMBER QQQQQQ o o o Campus Paperback Bestsellers)) o o o o o I.The Hotel New Hampshire, by John Irving. novel by the author of "Garp."
