Why are you here? Why are you reading this? I don’t know actually. Usually nowadays people get their news online and from television as opposed to opening up a paper. People believe that a newspaper provides some kind of watchdog on the government, and while that is true this newspaper doesn’t. The most we can do is watch on our ASSC and other school administrators, who at this moment are pretty much doing ok from what I can tell. I think this paper serves two purposes really. The first purpose is community information. If you want to know about this area and what goes on on campus, it is our job to tell you that. Furthermore, in order to better represent this campus, we sell ads to the various clubs around campus. If you are reading this as a club president we can conceivably get you a business card sized ad in our paper for around 13 dollars. Even I could afford an ad at that price. If you want major national news we really can’t cover that. Go to the Chron if you want that. If you want to know how Coats for Comedy went then that’s our job to inform you.

Our second purpose is entertainment.

Hopefully if you readers are sitting around with nothing to do I hope you would consider picking up a paper to see what’s going on around campus. You will definitely be reading about things that affect you and we write in an interesting way. That’s why I do this. I do this paper in order to entertain people and make their lives just a shade better. It’s not so much of a duty for me as it is something I enjoy to do and hope to keep on doing.
