We Welcome Letters
From time to time the Collegian receives letters addressed
to the editor. These letters are concerned with campus
events, with letters already printed and with editorials and
stories written by the staff;
The Collegian prints all these letters, space permitting. We
do have a limitation of 250 words on letters. We will use a
pen name if one so wishes, but we insist that letters be signed
when submitted for publication.
We like to get letters. They are positive proof that people
are reading the paper and thinking about what they read.
Just about the time the staff begins to doubt The Collegian
is being read, someone will take exception to something he
has read and will take time to write telling us of an error or
a disagreement. We don't always agree, but we^do appreciate
these letters. They are very effective in keeping us from
losing our sense of perspective.
Nothing gives the editors greater enjoyment than being
able to print letters dealing with both sides of a campus
issue. This sort of exchange makes effective discussion of
campus issues possible. We wish there were a lot more such
letters submitted.
So, whatever your reason for writing—keep on writing. We
want more letters to the editor.

It Is argued that, with the exceptions or Winston Churchill and
Teddy Roosevelt the 20th century Is devoid of heroes. The validity
of this Idea is not a reality, obviously, but a point to ponder.
We live In an age when we feel that the public should be Informed
about the Intimacies of the lives of Its leaders. John Kennedy re¬
ceives more copy than almost any other single subject ln the nation's
press.  Yet there Is a certain "hero aura" missing from the President.
George Washington, on the other tinnd, te n hero. It te to the first
and 16th presidents of our country that we look for heroes. We do
not know how many times George Waahlngtoh or Abrahnm Lincoln
went for a walk. The country was too busy forming or fighting to
look to the mundane activities of the President.
Yet the legend of George Washington grew. It grew because the
people could talk and embellish the tales ot the "great man from
Virginia." It grew because there was no man forever hawking around
the first President with a pencil and notepad ready to take down
his every utterance and action for the posterity of the American press.
The fact that the InUmatc life of a President is for sale for the
price of a morning paper Is startling. When we think that It costs
a mere dime to know who the Kennedys had to dinner ihe previous
evening, we real lie how difficult It Is to have too much to say to
embellish  a  well-established  fact.
The well-established facts are now rather easy to sift from rumors,
because with few exceptions, rumors are reported aa such. In the
early days est the United States, there was no such restraint ln the
pre****. If the President waa a hero, he waa a hero and there was
nothing to he done, but propagate the "fact" with alleged facts.
Since George Washington was a hero, he was also given more stature
The Journalist will argue that the facts make news, no matter
what the facts in many coses. The Journalist will also argue that his
approach to the great men of our times Is to satisfy a hunger of
his readers.
Unfortunately the readers want to know too much to give "hero
stature" to their contemporaries. The people are not content with
"new-fangled" heroes, yet they also can't abide "old-fashioned" heroes
'except as curiosities. We could then argue that we wilt have no
, heroes until the people care a little less about the "lire" and a little
more about the "legend."
