So "Morfit" is being temporarily discontinued. Fine. What do I write in place of that space‑consuming article? A humor column? That's good, but what do I know about that's particularly funny? So I sit here at my typewriter, thinking of all kinds of things, most of them unprintable, all of them very funny. And I keep reminding myself that the paper is supposed to come out this Friday. I guess we could heave out Page 3. That isn't funny!
Okay, I give up. I can't think of anything funny. I can't think of anything at all. Except the fact that every year the Westerner staff gets complaints, complaints, and more complaints about how we should print articles that students are interested in. Nothing else. Just these numerous, anonymous notes.

No hints on what they'd like to read. No contributions to speak of. So we print what is available: what's new with school clubs, what the score was in the last football game, and the progress of the play being presented. Some of this the reader may find interesting; some of it he may find boring. But unless he tells us his views and leaves us a suggestion, we don't have any choice.
I just thought of something funny. Actually it's ironic, and that is the apathy of the students as well as teachers at Maine West. If you have gone far enough to notice that the Westerner is not exactly your idea of interesting, you must have done some work to change it ‑ a written, signed contribution.
