THE REDBIRD
Oct. 21, 1966
Editorial
Attention you gripers
It is not unusual for The Redbird to come un-
der fire of someone's disatisfaction. As a mat-
ter of fact, we seem to boil someone's blood by
something we do, or do not do, almost every is-
sue.
But really now--this last week must have pro-
voked every fifth person on campus. Actually,
not quite that many complaints were laid about
our ears, but the telephone (ext. 313 by the way)
jangled a good many times after last week's issue
hit the campus and part of the campus hit back.
We will avoid namecalling, but certain faculty
members, administration members, students and
studentjorganizations had harsh words for last e-
dition. At least one representative from each di-
vision had a gripe.
Don’t get the idea that this is a defense, or a
plea for sympathy, or claim of a foul, and most
assuredly not an apology. We do feel that an ex-
planation is due.
The Redbird needs to have all news on Monday
that is to-appear in the following Friday's paper.
This also applies to letters to the editor. Get-
ting a story in early helps its chances of appear-
ing in print, but a guarantee will never be given.
We reserve and demand the right to make the pa-
per up as necessity and good journalism require.
There is only a certain amount of space in a pa-
per. When that space is being filled, there are
many stories that will simply fall by the way-
side--not because of some ulterior motive but
because they do not fit.
We merely wish these needs and problems and
demands to be open and understood because we
intend to stick to them.

Letters
Candidates
‘Stake Out’
Campus Turf
Dear Editor:
Whereas the eager candidates
of the recent elections left no
turf of ca mpus void of their
unsightly, if informative, bill-
boards; and whereas these same
civic-minded would-be servants
of the student body are therefore
morally responsible for the
hazardous residue of their cam-
paign propoganda; this is a
formal and emphatic protest of
their negligently abandoned
brace-stakes which give our
campus a distinct appearance of
being the final resting place of
many, many vampires.

Instructions Given
Veterans Under
New GJ. Bill
If veterans covered by the
new GI bHl experience any
delay in receiving their pay-
ments for September, they
should check to see that they
have completed the following
steps, according to the Veterans
Administration:
1. Obtaining two copies of
their certificate of eligibility
from their regional Veterans
Administration Office.
2. Presenting both copies to
the college in which they are
enrolled.
If veterans have done these
things but still have not re-
c e i ved payments they should
verify their colleges'sub-
mission of one certificate of
eligibility to the VA.
B e g i n ning in October, Vet-
erans had to mail "attendance
cards"--certifications of att-
endance in the previous month
--tothe VA in order to receive
payment.
They should send these in as
soon as possible after the end
of the month. The VA mails
payments to veterans on the
20th of the following month.
Only the educated can decide
their destiny; only the wise can
follow it; only the good can
attain it.

He'll Get You Yet Red Baron
"Snoopy and the Red Baron"
By Charles M. Schulz
(Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc.)
This bold, unexpurgated
account of gallant Snoopy’s
relentless struggle is a war novel
to end all war novels.
Our canine hero, manning his
famous Sopwith Camel, stalks
the airways to bring down the
cursed Red Baron. Again and
again he faces almost insuper-
able odds, only to return more
determined than ever before.
(After all, one has to protect
one's Van Gogh.)
You w i 11 sob as his crippled
plane skims over the treetops
He res igned himself to the
worst and his resignation was
accepted.
and crashes, and you will gasp
with terror as our fearless pro-
tagonist fights to escape from
behind enemy lines. But does
he get help? Where is the
heroine?
Ah, the s a dness of parting
(sniffle), when Snoopy must
leave the beautiful French girl,
will bring tears to the eyes of
the most devoted cat-lover.
Snoopy finds romance. Love.
At last.
Does he make it? Does he
beat the Red Baron? Does he
ever return to the beautiful
French girl? Do the good guys
with white hats always win?
So m e d ay he’ll get you, Red
Baron!!!
Nyahh, Nyahh, Nyahh!
