This week, The Observer received no letters to the editor. Well, except for a letter attacking Republican Vice- Presidential Candidate Dan Quail (calling him a genital head). This letter might have been relevant had we published anything about the man. We did, however, in our last issue publish several articles that we expected to receive some feed- back on, from the Administration, faculty, or students. Nothing came to box 18. A school newspaper is often used to evaluate the in- telligence, involvement, and calibre of a school's student body. Right now, things don't look too good from here. However, we know that CLC's students are a diverse, interesting, and interested lot. The Observer can not accurately reflect you, the student or faculty reader, unless enough' of the CLC population is involved. We need more people to mirror the true image of CLC. The Observer, like the Theatre Guild, EMS, Molimo, and all the other clubs, is funded by your bi-annual Student Ac- tivities Fee. So, essentially you have a year's subscription to The Observer, courtesy of your tuition. If you don't like the quality of the paper, contribute - make it change, grow, diver- sify. It's not hard to become active. Besides, it's important; this publication is a reflection of you. The Observer attracted several of the current editors to CLC, back when it used to be an award-winning college paper. That's how good this paper used to be, and how much in- fluence this paper can have. You must respond to us to be properly represented, whether in a simple letter to the editor, or by becoming a contributing writer, artist, or photographer. The Observer is here to represent,you, the students of CLC, so then why aren't you here for The Observer? NO MORE EXCUSES- Because it is as easy as attending the meeting.
