Editor reviews semester
Well, It's almost over.
With Thursday'* Razxberry issue, we finish
publication for the year. I know we haven't pleased
everyone with our coverage, but I think we consistently
put out a good newspaper.
When I took on the editorship, I had one main goal:
To leave The Collegian in better shape then I found it. At
the time, the survival of the paper wa* definitely
threatened. The forced "retirement" of our business
manager and the general feeling of resentment among
people in power because of the last "Collusion" ha'd put
u* in this threatening position.
The resentment has pretty much substded, except
for a few senators who must be pissed off over my
comments of last week on the importance of the
minority editions.
After I was named editor, I was warned about
certain members of student government and administration. These were the people I was told I could
expect to have difficulty with. Well, The Collegian got
through the year without too many difficulties. In fact,
some of these "troublemakers" proved to be very
cooperative to my staff and I.
. Through it all, through the freezing of funds, the
student elections and the threats from Irate readers, this
has been a true learning experience for me, one I do not
regret.
Now more than ever I appreciate the good, hardworking staff of  reporters   I  was  blessed  with.  The

pressures of the election and from the administration
didn't faze The Collegian staff in its efforts to present
the complete story of the many issues on campus.
The quality of news has been good, with the various
lawsuits dominating the headlines. I realize the volume
of suits must have gotten tiresome to many readers, but
it was our obligation to cover them.
The students and faculty of these areas (nursing,
enology and geography, among others) deserved to be
kept abreast of the events so important to their lives. I
hope we succeeded in giving them this information.
We owe it to many people in the Baxter administration and student government who gave us all
the fuel we-needed for news and editorials. Special
praise should go to Norman Baxter and David
Nikssarian. two of the many who make life interesting
at CSUF
The question of who will succeed me is a major
concern of mine, but I'm sure that person will perform
In a manner that reflects the best interests of The
Collegian. When I was appointed, no one said the Job
would be easy, and it wasn't. The Job will remain
complicated, but It will also be rewarding. I can attest to
that.

moves on without a trace of the

hands of a lesser composer.
