Warning: This is not the New Yorl< Times
By Steve Conley
Nor is this the Village Voice, or the Post or
the Enquirer. All these publications have general
audiences of millions of people with the only com-mon
bond being that they are all human. The Rambler
is directed toward an audience with a bit more fo-cussed
common denominator.
These twelve to twenty-four pages should
represent the 10,000 students and who attend SUNY
Famiingdale. HopefuUy the Rambler fulfills this
obligation.
It is expected that not all students will respect
or enjoy all items published in the Rambler. This is
due to the fact that not all students share the same
feelings about certain topics. If an article or letter is
published that a student or faculty member disagrees
with, either on an aesthetic, political or subjective
level, they can speak out
The Rambler never has, and never will, ref-use
to print a letter or opinion that is signed.
Any topic is fair game for the Rambler. If a
student writes it (poetically or in prose) or an artist
draws it, it will be published with only one qualifying
factor: that the work is of interest to the student body
of SUNY Farmingdale.
In the past, the Rambler been the recipient of
much abuse. This newspaper has had it's share of di-lemmas.
The date has been wrong by a year, the
factual information in the articles has been incorrect,
and grammatical errors are in abundance. Much is the
fault of rushing the articles under the pressure of
deadlines. This results in some articles being slanted
in particular directions. This is not stating that the
mfomiation is incorrect, only that the other side of the
story may not have been dealt with in an equal
manner or with equal space.
This will, unfortunately, always be the case.
By nature, the reporters, despite the editing, urging,
and coaxing of the editor involved, will throw their
opinion into the subject. There is an ardent attempt.
on the part of the Editorial Board of the Rambler, to
limit this type of bias.
There is something that must be cleared up.
The complaint has often been,"How come there are
eight pages of comics and twelve pages of news?"
The answer is simple, the Rampage literary section is
printed once every two weeks, while the Rambler is
published every week. Literature and comic strips
pile up and must be given the space they deserve.
Also to be stressed is that the Rampage insert is not
"comics", it is literature. The section is not just
comics, it contains book reviews, movie reviews, po-etry
and creative writings. Take a second look.
Responsibility has often been a question
with the Rambler. This is because the subject matter
has no restrictions. The Rambler represents the first
amendment. Complete and total freedom of speech.
Truth and equality being our only guidelines.
All content is the responsibility of the Editor-in-
Chief and the Editorial Board. There are no limi-tations
to content aside from those determined by the
policy-making students that run the Rambler.
This newspaper supplements traditional news
sources, giving students not what they are getting
elsewhere. If students choose not to read the Rambler
because it is not the Times, Newsday or the Village
Voice, they will be missing out on news published
specifically designed for them. KING uf Let His Dream... Inspire Yours
