Show I I s 1 LETTERS TO 1 THE I EDITOR 1 Musical Not Announced in Horizon To the Editor For the August 15 edition of Horizon I submitted a press release for the Masque Clubs Club's production Tree of Lace This new musical was the first original student play produced at Lab Theatre featuring a cast with many students I thought the story would be just right for our college paper dealing with college issues and events Yet when the August 15 edition of Horizon appeared on campus there was not a story about Tree of Lace but an article promoting Keanu Reeves' Reeves new summer movie Tree of Lace was mentioned but only in the Calendar of Events i I was very disappointed with the decision to run a movie review over an announcement of a student play with a limited run I understand that there was no photo submitted with Tree of Laces Lace's press release which may have influenced influenced influenced the decision not to run the story but are pictures more important tant in a page layout than the stories I realize that the Horizon has the right to run whatever the staff chooses choos choos- es but now I question whether those choices are newsworthy to all students After all isn't it a college newspapers newspaper's major goal to inform students of campus events and issues Scott C.
