We near Finals, and the snow has caused problems for many people right now. If you find you can not attend the meeting with the current _Undercurrent_ staff tomorrow but you still want to make your voice heard, please e-mail me your thoughts at [log in to unmask] as soon as you might. Around 4:30 PM Friday, I shall print up the e-mails and take them to the meeting. Please, in your e-mailing, be very specific about your complaints, frustrations, or confusions. Please don't simply point out flaws with the current newspaper and its staff but offer specific solutions. For example, if trust is an issue, how might the current staff regain trust? If their editorial selection policy seems to be arbitrary or motivated by personal politics rather than by assessment of quality and relevance, what would you suggest they do to fix this problem? If you think a specific individual is responsible for many of the problems, such as some have criticized Eric, well, you need to be there in person. The issue of an individual's credibility is not easily handled in an e-mailing. You may mention your lack of faith in someone's credibility in your e-mailing if you wish, but I won't be able to speak on your behalf on that issue. Finally, if you can actually give your full name and give me permission to give out copies of your e-mailing, that would help credibility all the more. However, there are valid reasons for anonymity, such as the rumors that one editor is violent when criticized, so better your thoughts with a pseudonym than no comments at all. Thank you. If the _Undercurrent_ wants to consider frustrations in the progressive/liberal communities and take a Y approach to conflict, this should all work out for the best. If the _Undercurrent_ has no agenda beyond defending itself and being left alone and/or takes an X approach to conflict, this will be a difficult meeting at best. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
