Hello. I am Molly Antos, and I will be hosting Forum this upcoming year. Be afraid. Just kidding. I just wanted to write a few words of welcome, because I’m new to this position and not at all because we didn’t have time to write a staff editorial for this issue.
First of all, I just want to say that if you have any complaints about Forum, please feel free to email me and tell me. It would be fabulous if you would take the time and write an op-ed about whatever’s bothering you, but I’m a realistic person, so I know that angry letters to the editor are easier to construct-so these are also acceptable.
Additionally, if you have an idea for a Forum article, but don’t have the time/don’t feel like writing the article yourself, or if you’re in the witness protection program and you’d rather not be seen in the public eye, just email me and I’ll get someone to write about it, or we’ll use it for a staff editorial. We can always use more ideas, if only so we don’t ever have to write that dreaded staff editorial entitled, “We’re complaining because there’s nothing to complain about.”
I don’t really have too much more to say, but I did have one request: please don’t stalk my columnists. Just because their picture is in the newspaper once a week does not mean you know them. Allow them to enjoy campus life without constantly being harassed about some column they wrote at some time or another. Just because you’re drunk at a party does not mean that they want to hear what you have to say.
Also, read Forum. Please. Thanks.
