1984_01 The Daily Collegian January 1984

Editor to establish strong links
J. he new year, 1984, is already well upon us and with it the legacy of the novel
of the same name by Eric Arthur Blair, alias George. Orwell.
As students in our own 1984, all of us at CSUF are working^nd living in a society
surrounded by mass media coverage on all levels: international, national, regional,
local. That's where the Daily Collegian comes in.
Like any branch of the media, the Daily Collegian has the responsibility of
presenting to its publics a reflecting view of people and events, with emphasis on
clarity, accuracy, and objectivity.
This semester, more than any other in the past, the main aim of the Collegian will
be on establishing strong two-way communication links with the CSUF students,
faculty, and administration, as well as between our own staff members. If the
Collegian can do that effectively, then we are fulfilling a major portion of our duties as
journalists.
As editor in chief ofthe Daily Collegian this semester, I have a few other goals in
mind concerning the directioh the Collegian will be taking this semester. Some of
those goals are:
—To provide fair, non-libelous, accurate, ethical news and feature coverage.
—To provide an open forum where students can express their views in the form of
letters to the editor or freelance articles.
—To provide the students with a "marketplace of ideas" concerning events on and
off campus.
—To keep the students informed on current events.
—To operate the Daily Collegian as a business in the most professional manner
possible.
These are just ideals to work with, but nevertheless ideals that need to be used
practically if the Collegian is to demonstrate a good working relationship with all
parts of the campus this semester. .
In the meantime, I would like to extend a "Welcome Back" to all CSUF students
and hope that this is one of the best semesters yet.  .
Oh, and welcome to 1984... Brian Covert

Wetzel said. "Many working people
who are not students enjoy the college
atmosphere, so they are staying in
apartments close to the campus which
make it harder for students to find a

Wetzel  estimated  there would  be
room for an additional 400 studenu if

"There is a definite need for more
on-campus housing," Wetzel said. "Af¬

the benefit of having both dorms and
