The focus trade that’s going to occur in was sent to the Penguins’ should not be local; the usual topics of parietals, dormitory reassignments, football, The Guide, the next few Weeks. But it ’s a Cleveland farm club in the etc. wear thin after a few readings. Instead, the voice of the students of one of the nation’s good start and we have a new IHL. leading universities should be heard on the nation’s leading issues. And there is no shortage of issues. Welfare policy, funding of education, military spending, genetic engineering are just a few examples. A regular articulation of editorial policies may actually stir a local response. And b people who are not inside the golden beltway may actually find reason to listen. The Observer will not print this letter on their Viewpoint page. The letter was originally sent just to Ms. Deely, who agreed with my thoughts and encouraged submission for publication. After so doing, a sporadic and reasonably polite exchange of electronic mail and phone calls withThe Observer's editorial board ensued in which it was first suggested to me that there had not been “opportunity to print it yet.” After the passing of more time, I was informed by the Editor-in-Chief that the above letter “is wholly advice to the editorial board,” which fails to “speak to the larger community” and, moreover, was “outdated.” I suggest there are those in the Notre Dame community who, along with me, would find these reasons unconvincing and may develop alternative hypotheses. week At the heart of my present criticism, I am discouraged to find that The Observer’s stated publication policy, “Viewpoint space is available to all members of the Notre Dame/Saint Mary s community and to at Kickers all readers,” is in reality not the case. According to the Editor-in-Chief’s communication to me, “Every letter is subject not only to the discretion of myself and the Viewpoint editor, but also to space concerns, * Wednesday: i relevance to the community and timing.” While a wiser policy would publicly articulate these caveats for cases where editorial discretion should and must be exercised, I contend that the above letter would not fall into such categories. Having read regularly this year’s musings of Rice, Apple, GLND/SMC representatives, critics of football play-calling, students who enjoy their liquor, etc., I see no reason why my voice cannot be added to the cacophony. When I consider that in years past the Viewpoint page has been opened to Nazi sympathizers from outside the University, andThe Observer defended their decision to print on freedom of expression grounds, I am particularly galled to have to resort to renting space to express a rather mild but Cu) ^Hottest Spot in Townly 231 Dixieway North pertinent opinion when others do so for free. between Cleveland In conclusion, in addition to formulating an occasional opinion to supplement the loving attention gar­ and Douglas on nished on the football team (of which I am a fan!), I urge The Observer to bring their public words in line S l Greatest Music VS31-33 with their actual practice, and moreover to take to heart more of the good and noble traditions of a free and ^ Greatest Food 4 pool tables, 4 dart active press: a healthy newspaper will be both aggressive in its criticism of the world around itand open to printing criticism of both itself and the same world.
