Reflecting on part one Part one is over. This marks the half-way point in the publish- ing year for the Cord, and this means it is almost, but not quite, over. Looking back on ital I, it becomes apparent that many people could be misled into thinking that I am none too fond of this position. Nothing could be further from the truth, although I must admit that there have been times, especially late at night when I wonder if it is all worth it, bat I never conclude that it isn't. I remember back when we started, in the last week of Sep- tember, how harried it all was. There were Henry and I, two innocents if you will, trying our best to produce a twenty-four page paper. The only problem was that Henry had severely broken his finger which provided him with the typing talents of an amoeba. Despite this, Henry forged ahead, into the late night and we managed, after considerable consumption of both caf- feine, and carbonated beverages on our parts and considerable nicotine on my part to produce the issue. It contained a few highlights, some low lights and enough white space to hold a party on. In fact we considered that possibility for all those who worked on the paper, but by the end of the week we were so bored and tired ofone another, and seeing as we were the only ones whoworked on the paper, it would have been a bad affair. Back at school we threw ourselves into the fray with an editorial from the übiquitous Dave Schultz. What an editorial! The administration, incensed over parts ofthe script, decided to sue us. Well not us, but Schultz. He was upset, we wereupset, the administration was upset, and that force of both consternation and help, Warren Howard, went crazy. We retracted it. Speak- ing of Warren Howard, although we get upset with him, and though he picks the most inopportune moments totalk tome, he is a help and he is also a good guy. Enough said. Throughout the year we have accumulated a host of prob- lems, the least of which was a lack of sleep, the most painful of which was a lack of staff. Too often we have found that there were too few people with too much work to be done, and we bitched considerably about this. In the endthough, we wouldn't have changed a thing. In an odd way I can say that I really love this paper. It is important to me and it means a lot to me. When an issue is bad I feel it. When it is good, I feel the elation. I remember the first issue that we did. Even though there were a few erroneous facts and misplaced quotes, it was a" pretty damn good issue. We were novices then, and we still are. Each week we get a little better, or we notice how many more mistakes we made. Most of these mistakes you won't even see, they are noticed by us because each week we tryand make each letters issue perfect,-and each week we fail.- It is this striving, this elation or feeling of distraughtfailure that makes it all worthwhile.

When all Cops CALGARY (CUP)—The Calgary police claim that just because they look more like JohnWayne doesn't mean they'regoing to act more like him. As part oftheir new uniforms and equipment the Calgary police will begin wearing open pistol holsters rather than the traditional kind where the gun is hidden and pro- tected by a flap. Dr. John Klein, a criminologist from the University of Calgary dis- agrees with the police, however, saying that the new open holsters would lead to "shoot'em up, wild West stuff." Klein fears the new holster will escalate tricky situations because the guns will befar more accessible laidraft t than in closed holsters. Klein also argues that there is, "a serious implication here in that our tradition is of respect for the au- «uar°ntte* by toitmrt 6«*«ilgLL)# thority of the officer based on his office and his uniform rather than a simple respect based on visible wast in 6trmany»»"« weapon. %bS ««** ****!!* "We are nowmoving in an oppo- site direction, toward the American ; ahouia be djnieft t0 bt m style gun holster, and that is of con- «**£'£%£t* cern in a country that does not rely ■:■;., *•>.•.».... ■: ■ ■ on the presence ofguns to maintain . order."
