NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02115 office of student affairs June 29 1972 To Members of the Class of 1972 I feel compelled to comment on this year ' s CAULDRON because of the failure of the editors to live up to their responsibility to the Class of 1972. This Class has had an outstanding record during its five years at North- eastern and deserves a much better yearbook. The student editors were charged with the task of compiling a record of the individual members of the Class and their collective campus experiences. The considerable accomplishments of this Class academically, in hundreds of student activities, clubs and programs, and on the athletic field, warrant treatment and coverage far beyond that given by the editors. Since the CAULDRON is a student publication, and the student editors are responsible for its content and makeup, neither the faculty adviser nor the administration review and pass upon the content prior to publication. The Uni- versity has conscientiously complied with the Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms, and I defend the right of students to operate without censorship. We have never, however, relinquished the right to criticize and evaluate the work of our student editors. In my judgment, the editors of this edition of the CAULDRON have not mani- fested either the professional competence, or that spirit of responsibility which we have a right to expect . This edition of the CAULDRON is loaded with technical flaws. Many photo- graphs are of poor quality, others wrongly labelled. The chaotic arrangement of photos of graduating seniors makes the book almost unusable for reference purposes, since many pages are not numbered. Much more fundamentally, I am distressed by the contempt the editors have shown for their classmates, the faculty and administrators of the University. They have made obscene and insulting attacks on fellow seniors and administrators; the faculty is practically ignored. The Student Activities section occupies only five pages out of three hundred and seventy-six, and only eight pages are devoted to varsity sports. May I express my sincere regrets that this publication does not measure up to the high standards which have been established in the past. You may be assured that we will make every effort to Improve the quality of the CAULDRON in coming years. If we are to preserve the freedoms of future CAULDRON editors, we must provide them with clearer guidelines and better understanding of the expectations of the groups they represent. I would appreciate your frank opinion not only of these brief comments of mine, but your assessment of your CAULDRON. Your letters can be sent to me at the Uni- versity and will serve as important guides to those of us concerned with the quality of student publications. Sincerely Gilbert G. MacDonald Vice President for Student Affairs GGM
