This year was a pretty good one, as far as the Packer was concerned. I think we put out some good issues. Iwas espe- cially pleased with the edito- rial page. The newspaper staff worked hard to put out a good paper, and they did. The only thing that was lacking, as in years past, was reader contribu tions. There were only a few instances when anyone wrote a letter to the editors. We will publish almost anything, with- in reason, as long as it is sign- ed. It is dissappointing to hear so many criticisms and strong opinions hom people who lack the gumption to put their views in print. The power of print is mighty, indeed. One can get more across to more people by having something printed than in any other way. A letter to the editors is a good way to get something in the paper, but by no means is it the only way. The Packer staff would gladly welcome any other contribu- tion you might have. A short article on some activity, a coming event, or some other story would be appreciated not only by the staff, but by the readers. It gets a little tiring to read stories written by the same people in every issue. A change of style would be wel- comed by everyone. If you want to have a good paper, it is going to take more than just a small group of people can contribute. It is easy to crit- provlde information about their activities.
