- me year can very sad or very corny depending on how you look at it, but one thing it is for sure is busy. Since this little effort is about to be my last, in terms of editorials anyway, I will forewarn you that the chances are good that it is going to be corny, it is also going to be brief, because like everyone else I'm busy with school work. I wrote my first editorial in the fourth issue of this year's Cord and with the exception of one or two weeks I have written one ever since, and believe it or not I have enjoyed it. There have been times when I have ranted and raved about non-involvement and so on but that is because up here at the Cotd office apathy really hurts, and it means that many nights when you are all sitting above us at the Turret having a good time that we are down here working like mad things so that you will have somethins.to read on Thursday morning. So, yes, I do get really bun ned off, and I get just as mad at the fact that the only time many of you ever Spring bother to come up to the Cord office is to complain or ask why the paper is least, that is late. Where were you when we needed you? thinking. But I am also very thankful. Working up here has been a terrific posed to­ opportunity and I have been very fortunate to have had some re-ally the bad and tremendous people to work with. Aubrey has been great, he has always had the answers to my questions and has taken over when my math has failed me, not to mention his interest and concern. Ah yes, prods. I really don't think I could have done it without him, his sizing is always better than mine and I have trouble seeing the final product when I look at an empty layout sheet. Thank you Dave, for your help, and for bringing Keys. R. Hothouse has been another indispensable member of the staff; his pages are always done even on the nights that driving home was going to be next to impossible he stayed and managed to fit in "To Be" and Bridge. Thank you Ross and good luck with next year's post. What can I possibly say about Sports other than he is one of the nicest people and finest sports writers I have ever met. There are all kinds of other people that have been a help in the weekly production of this thing; all the people who continued to write stories and articles, even those of you who only showed up once or twice, you did a lot more than plenty of other people. The rowdy boys in the photo department, Part, Aceman and Matt have all been right on time with their stuff and it has been great, not to mention their parties. Without Ads we could never have done this, especially since we run at 45%, so thank you Bryan and don't spend it all in one place. Steve Armstrong and jim Fischer deserve a thank you for their weekly columns that came in despite their work loads. I'm sure that there are lots of other people who deserve thanks and if I have forgotten you I'm sorry. Another terrific group of people to whom we are indebted are the people down at Dumont, who have been more than patient about tacky sizing, poor editing and other assorted screw-ups that we subject them to weekly. I also have to thank jim for his counsel and patient help in all my endeavours, especially this one, and besides, he Iistens to all the com­ plaints. Sad things are happening around this university, the end of things Iike Radio Laurier and the Keystone are in the air and the Cord could well be the next thing to go. This is all happening because people have lost interest in the student life of university. If we find ourselves with nothing left but classrooms and a pub we will be in a sad state. I, for one would hate to see it come to that but unless there is a revival of that corny old "Apathy-ah, what's that Man!" quality called "school spirit" it may well happen. When I took over at the Cord Fred Youngs said "good luck Mary, it is a bitch of a job and you'll need all the help you can get." I say the same thing to Bob at this point.
