The paper should be an outlet for the voices of the community it serves, and if those voices (including the editors) are about intl issues it is, in fact, your duty to publish it. Anything ideas that come out of the commuity are fair game for a paper that serves the community, even if the ideas aren't about your college per se. -- Noah Schaffer Brookline MA Personal mail: bj193@yfn.ysu.edu Newspaper Feedback: cadence@world.std.com
