The Editorial Board of The Other Paper extends its sincere apologies with an explanation of why we are as late as we are. Our first and most basic problem has been the revision of our budget. Our present budget will, hopefully, suffice until January and possibly meander itself into the Spring of 73. Secondly, we, the staff have felt strongly on coming out weekly instead of bi monthly. This would, of course, keep everything somewhat up- to-date. Lastly, we have had a sort of organizational problem. Since our offices were moved, and placed at Van Dynn, we have seen nothing but total chaos, confusion and lack of guts and will. But, that scene is over now. We are back, ready, willing and able i Other Letters IT’S REVOLUTION TIME! (?) YOU ARE REPRESSED! If you don’t realize that, wise up! Other wise you’ll never make it in the hippie radical movement. Our first move is to overthrow the security guards and the maintenance men. Down with everyone except US! Yesterday I picked up a short mimeographed message warning us to stand up and defend ourselves against strong arming by security guards and maintenance men. I agree that change is desperately needed to make our complex society function without corrup tion and without massacring each other in the process. I also believe that it is our energy and ideas that can bring about those changes. This is dedicated to the young radicals on campus who wish to change the world by annihilating the administrative strong arms: If you’re planning a revolution fellas, don’t begin with the O.C.C. Security Guards, begin out in that big playground we call the world where the going gets a little rougher and it takes one hell of a lot of energy to simply stay alive. Lynette Hodson AN OPEN HATE LETTER By Dan Sheehan Upon this opening year there are, perhaps, some of us who ap pear to be coarse and self-assured rabble rousers and others seem withdrawn and apathetic; neither represent the mass of students. We are here to learn. If there is more expected of us, then it is our right nd we vow to make our Paper , to the students. to animate action against such in fringem ent of our freedom. Freedom; meaning the right to work or not work for your school. The students want no more to assume the role of agitators anymore than those of plebian. The task of those who administer and that of the Student Senate is to direct, not dictate. Whatever aver sion or fears felt toward O.C.C. should be forgotten, we are not ruled by a corrupt power or overrun with fanatics nor are we frozen by apathy. We are all new to a new campus, a new college, what we do or don’t do will set the floormat for the students who follow us. Please act accordingly. A SPECIAL THANKS I would like to express my deepest and sincerest gratitude to those who helped me personally in the publication of this first issue. When I was in a mess, you pulled me out. When we needed typists, you typed. I extend my thanks and my deepest appreciation to four girls, four girls who have given up their free time to do me a desperately needed favor. The four girls know who they are, and since I can’t spell last names, I again thank Karen, Ginny, Rose and Jessa for their effort and time in preparing this first issue. I would also like to thank the Editorial Staff for setting me straight on my new editorial position. And, last but not least, my thanks goes to the many vigorous students who wrote and submit'ed articles and to the artists and cartoonists who. worked so diligently to get their material out. sincerest efforts to bring All in all, I expect a great year. I say this because I’ve seen so many people work so hard this week that I just can’t imagine the ambition and eagerness which has filtrated our staff. This feeling must con tinue if you want your student paper a true expression and sample of your hard work. Thank you, Mike Goss Managing Editor of The Other Paper OPEN LETTER Dear Mr. Dobrynski or Mr. Body I wrote the attached letter to Mr. Hanley(Congress) and Mr. Javits (Senator) of New York State for our Federal Governm ent in Washington. I wish more parents would write in behalf of you fellows and gals. I wish I had taken the time to write before today. Thought perhaps you would be interested to know we care. - Yours truly, Mrs. C.I. Graverson September 19, 1972 Dear Mr. Hanley: It is so true that until a situation irritates an individual personally, he is not prone to take note of the issue. I am specifically referring to the National Defense Student Loans. The We are a below $10,000 income family, with three youngsters at home. We are property owners and so like renters, either pay high rent or high taxes. The renters have the same financial burden as property owners as higher taxes are passed on to them eventually. The student loan cesspool is a slap at our young people and their dreams and plans for their and our country’s future. We, in the age fifty bracket, are familiar with disappointment, but the young are hit a back-handed blow. We were not brain-washed to believe college was a possibility as these new graduates were led to believe. Our son did not set his goals too high — a community college near home — no frills. However, as I look about at the long hair, the unshaven faces, the old blue jeans, perhaps there is a deeper plan for these children - namely work. Their character will no doubt be enhanced by this ex perience. Nevertheless, the disillusionment is still there for the young adult and as parents, we feel a sadness along with our sons and daughters. I know one man cannot alter our wheels of government, but if our youth does not sally forth with hope and dreams, especially our bright fold, I wonder about our wisdom in holding them abase in life. It seems the spending and give away and foreign programs go quickly into reality, while a home issue is held down or complicated to a point where it cannot materialize. I thank you for your time and I hope, your interest.
