      1996
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      MORE
      OF
      WHAT
      REALLY
      MATTERS
     
    
   
   
    
     
      too
      proud,
      so
      please
      tell
      your
     
     
      friends
      --
      you
      know
      who
      they
      are!):
     
     
      If
      you
      want
      the
      quality
      and
      substance
     
     
      of
      this
      paper
      to
      change,
      GET
      OFF
     
     
      YOUR
      BUTTS
      AND
      DO
      SOME-
     
     
      THING
      ABOUT
      IT!!!
     
    

    
     
      When
      complaints
      come
      in,
      the
     
     
      person
      usually
      angrily
      tears
      apart
      the
     
     
      newspaper
      staff
      piece
      by
      piece
     
     
      (which
      only
      lowers
      our
      motivation
     
     
      to
      produce
      anything
      good).
      The
     
     
      editor's
      response
      is
      something
      to
      the
     
     
      effect
      of
      "If
      you
      don't
      like
      our
      writ-
     
     
      ing,
      write
      something
      for
      us."
      I
      agree
     
     
      that
      this
      is
      ideal.
      Not
      only
      will
     
     
      something
      "good"
      make
      its
      way
      into
     
     
      the
      paper
      (and,
      hey,
      they
      might
     
     
      realize
      that
      they
      like
      their
      names
      in
     
     
      print),
      but
      it
      also
      gives
      us
      "rookies"
      a
     
    
   
   
    
     
      model
      to
      follow.
      However,
      I
      know
     
     
      that
      many
      of
      you
      don't
      have
      the
      time,
     
     
      energy,
      or
      literary
      interest
      to
      pursue
     
     
      this
      challenge.
      And
      so,
      let
      me
      give
     
     
      you
      some
      different
      advice
      (complain-
     
     
      ers,
      listen
      up!):
      Don't
      blast
      the
      paper;
     
     
      tell
      it
      what
      you
      want.
     
    

    
     
      If
      you
      didn't
      like
      something,
     
     
      tell
      us
      why.
      If
      you
      think
      we
      are
     
     
      lacking,
      show
      us
      what
      areas
      we
      need
     
     
      work
      on
      and
      tell
      us
      how
      to
      improve.
     
     
      And
      if
      you
      find
      something
      offensive,
     
     
      tell
      us
      you
      are
      not
      impressed
      but
     
     
      don't
      discredit
      the
      good.
      Acknowl-
     
     
      edge
      those
      parts
      that
      could
      have
     
     
      been
      successful
      if
      used
      differently,
      as
     
     
      well
      as
      disparaging
      the
      bad.
      For
     
     
      example,
      one
      person
      said
      (and
      I
     
     
      agree
      with
      her)
      that
      she
      never
      reads
     
    
   
   
    
     
      INTERNATIONAL
     
    
   
   
    
     
      WOMEN'S
     
    
   
   
    
     
      DAY
     
    
   
   
    
     
      the
      music
      reviews,
      not
      because
      they
      _
     
     
      are
      bad
      but
      because
      they
      don't
      re-
     
     
      view
      the
      type
      of
      music
      she
      listens
      to
     
     
      (only
      alternative).
      Perhaps
      a
      better
     
     
      balance
      would
      satisfy
      readers?
     
    

    
     
      If
      the
      paper
      DOES
      "suck"
      (not
     
     
      true
      in
      my
      not-so-humble
      opinion,
     
     
      though
      I
      have
      my
      own
      complaints),
     
     
      it
      is
      no
      wonder.
      Perhaps
      the
      staff
      is
     
     
      just
      so
      sick
      of
      trying
      to
      please
      you
     
     
      that
      they've
      decided
      to
      shock
      you
     
     
      instead.
      At
      any
      rate,
      suggestions
      go
     
     
      a
      lot
      further
      than
      insults.
      :
     
    

    
     
      Consider
      this:
      Peter
      does
      his
     
     
      homework
      wrong
      and
      his
      teacher
     
     
      yells
      and
      screams
      and
      calls
      him
     
     
      names.
      Joanne
      also
      does
      her
      work
     
     
      wrong
      but
      her
      teacher
      sits
      down
      and
     
     
      shows
      her
      how
      to
      do
      it
      better.
      Who
     
     
      do
      you
      think
      will
      improve?
