Editor's Memo: Goals Achieved Year A Success When I assumed the Editor-in-Chief position a year ago, I sat wondering what to write in my first memo to the Providence College community. I stated then and still continue as I leave this position that the purpose of The Cowl was to inform the various segments of the PC community. I further stated that The Cowl would strive to maintain a goal of openness, objectivity, and professionalism. Each person has his own opinion of how or what a college newspaper should be. I know from my past year's experience that some people found my opinions of running a college newspaper contrary to their own. But I remain firmly convinced that my ideals are correct and that The Cowl succeeded because of them. A college newspaper is not the New York Times nor the Washington Host that has the resources to investigate the minuteness of details A college paper should be what the name implies, not a scandal sheet of loose facts and innuendos, but a constructive, informative piece of literature that is reliable, ac• curate, and honest. The paper should also reflect a concern or an opinion of some local or national interest, especially if that interest will have an effect on members of the community. Hence, Tin- Cowl this year examined such issues as the proposed law school; the energy crisis and its effects on campus; the drinking and the vandalism in the neighborhoods surrounding PC; even the questions of amnesty and the death penalty were scrutinized. At times people disagreed with us, (right, Student Congress, BOG, Dillon Club, security...), but we provided that little grain of impetus for thought, for some discussion, and hopefully, we made a change, a change for the betterment of all of PC. So today, I share with you the people who made The Cowl the Guarantees Sought For success that it was this year I fully remove myself for I think and now know that not just one person can manage a successful newspaper, but only with the ingredients of a competent staff and Incoming On-Campus Frosh loyal editors will there be a success story.
