If you'd li--e to try putting an entire sixteen page extu- vaganza together in the space of a few days, you'd know how it feels. Fortunately I think ',VE pulled it off. If you are reading this small outburst of mine, then it stands to reason that you've already savored all the "good stuff." I'd like to take space to thank all of our contributors this time a- round; you really made this thing worth printing, guys. I'd also like to mention that the Arrowhead is about 75% free-lance this year. So, anyone, teachers and students alike, send us neat things like articles, photos and such, '/v'e'll be more than happy to print them if they are suitable. Letters to the Editor are also welcome. Come on, send us some good critical letters; Paul's kinda lonely, so he'll be sure to answer them. So, until sometime in november...

P.S. Start saving up for your Muni T- Shirts, and remember: DAED SI LUAP.

. . .from you I get opinions. From you 1 get the story...
