The craft of college journalism Sure vms College journalists were never meant to be. When God created this the liberal arts student, he didn't include as part of the standard equipment the ability to write a creative article, or to design an WAITING roK AN attractive page. God had in mind three classes a day, a few hours of homework, perhaps a beer or two, and bed. Midnight CAlTb wimp editorials were never really part of the deal. It is a given that college journalists and the product of their work are an aberration at best. But this Collegian staff accepted its task in the hope that the constraints of life at Kenyon could be overcome to create something less than hideous each week. It was our intention to put out a paper that could convey the news and related items in an informative and engaging format. We hope we were not wholly unsuccessful in this, our bid to buck fate. Along the way we learned some things that they just don't tell you about in the classroom. ' We came to understand how difficult it can be to attempt to remain neutral and objective when reporting. We realized more than ever before that while such objectivity is finally quite impossible, a persistent journalist must nevertheless continue to try to communicate the truth; and that the fair truth depends as much on involved compassion as it does on ability to distance oneself from the subject matter. In a small, strong communal environment such as we enjoy here at Kenyon, these tensions of journalism become intensified. No one can easily write without passion about issues that seem important. Probably the best solution to the dilemma of ob- jectivity is to recognize one's preferences and work with them accordingly. At least then the reader can feel some assurance that the newspapers are willing to take a stance on the many sh issues that confront contemporary society. We also cannot take ourselves too seriously, we have discovered. Not many students, faculty, or administrators at THE READERS WRITE Kenyon understand the newsgathering process and its peculiar The Kenyon Collegian encourages letters to the editor. All submissions must be typed, double spaced. quirks here. Consequently, on those rare occasions when The Editor reserves the right to edit all material while maintaining the original intentions of the mistakes do occuur, understanding of the limitations in which this newspaper operates is itself in short supply.
