Your paper, your voice
One simple way to maximize your time at UWT
Issue date: 4/6/06 Section: Opinion
For those of you looking at spring quarter as the beginning of the end, the last quarter of your University of Washington Tacoma career, we heartily, albeit jealously, congratulate you.
For those of you looking at spring quarter as the beginning of your U career, we welcome you no less heartily, though without jealousy. And if you are at some point in the middle of your time in our hallowed halls, it's a new quarter -- all fresh, clean and smelling like optimism and grapefruit Method all-purpose cleaner.
In the Ledger you'll begin to notice some familiar things, and some new things. You'll see campus news and profiles of our campus community throughout the pages. You'll see all about what happens when some members of our fearless staff go to Russia. You'll see, as usual, the events calendar, and a mishmash of tidbits known as Nibbles and Sips.
There are some noticeable changes in this issue. Husky voices are not in their usual spot on page two; instead, you can find them in the special Russia insert.
We thought it would be compelling to feature what Moscow State University students feel about about a hot-button issue: the student protests in France.
Also, we have tweaked the design of the front page a bit. Let us know your thoughts.
Coming in the next edition, we'll introduce you to a new Health and Wellness page.
We're hoping this will be a page to showcase what we do, as individuals, and as a community, to stay healthy and balanced. But to do this effectively, we need to hear from you.
In an effort to see how effectively we're gauging the pulse of the campus community, we're currently developing a readership survey. Sometime around midterm, you will see members from the Ledger staff campaigning around campus. Take the opportunity to let us know what direction you would like to see the campus and the ledger move towards.
This change is all part of our continuing effort to publish a newspaper that will be compelling and insightful for our readers. However, we're missing one key ingredient: feedback.
To be a voice of the UWT community, and to reflect that community, we at the Ledger need to hear from you, the students, and not just stuff we overhear in the toilet stalls. We want to know what your interests, concerns and passions are. We want to print your words, as contributing writers, as staff writers, as letter writers.
Or, if you simply have a scoop on a juicy story, let us know. Any way you choose to get involved, it will ensure that you have contributed to the legacy of UWT.
The best way to maximize the value of your university career is by maximizing your involvement in the process. Your dollars go toward supporting this community, isn't it time your voice was heard?
