'Write Hanoi'

Regarding the mild controversy
over the CD's lack of support of the
"write Hanoi" campaign: I offer
the following arguments. Have
these people considered that the
integrated management flexibility
of the editor's decisions does not
allow him to print all news that is
good news. The CD is a 'First Class'
college paper and as such, has no
need to compete with other news
media over the "write
Hanoi" campaign. If a person wishes
news on this matter be should listen
to the radio, write a major
newspaper, or "Tell Doug."

The CD has already taxed its
responsive organizational
capabilities by covering the
abundant news about college life
around campus. Then again,
perhaps these people just wish a
letter count from the CD each day,
because if they were really
interested in the 'write Hanoi'
campaign they would quit griping
and donate the information
themselves! And if they were really
interested, they would help the
Americans still fighting over there
by donating to some useful
organization such as the USO.

But the fact remains, that the
CD is a College newspaper and as
such has no business printing
political or semi-potitical national
issues.
