With the help of your good hands

This being my last Tan and Cardinal as Editor-in-chief, I'm going to break a recent tradition and NOT write a column entitled "Everything I've always wanted to say ..." and then proceed to interview myself.

I will however, recognize some people that have helped me greatly with the paper this year. For what it's worth, I feel the T&C has had a good year and progressed in several areas - but that's neither here nore there.

Anyhow, I sincerely thank the following people without whom there would have been no Tan and Cardinal:

-to Fran Bay and the girls over in the PR office for making my job just so much easier!

-to Don Hines, T&C advisor, who may, one of these days in pub board meeting, find out just what constitutes news.

-to Melissa Barr without whom I would have resigned long ago. She was, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the greatest asset on my staff this year.

-to my entire staff for all the help and support (especially to Nancy Ballog and Deb Thorne.)

-to Blanche in the Campus Center Office for faithfully and dilligently getting my mail.

-to all the liars who said "nice paper this week, Mick" when it wasn't.

-to Dan Thompson for putting the paper on wheels.

�to 258 people who know where it's at here at Otterbein.

-But most of all ('a la Donny and Marie) to all of you , my readers, (both of you). You are really the people who "make" the T&C.

As the man once said:

Now my charms are o 'erth rown, And what strength I have 's mine own, Which is most faint

As you from crimes would pardon 'd be Let your indul gence set me free Later.

Can't Resist

Although, in the black of the night, we have laid, we have not partaken.

And the promises we've made in the light of the day, we have not forsaken.

And although we laughed; although we've cried; Although we failed, at least we've tried.

And the memories of you and I will linger in my mind.

Although, I said the times were really great, I guess they were rotten.

And wherever we go because of our fate, our times won't be forgotten.

And although there were no blows; although we didn't fight;

Although the tunnel is long, I can see the light. And it's good to know, if things weren't right, we'd quit while ahead and not behind.

So walk away now and do not cry any more.

I hope that later, things will look better than ever before.

Sweet lullabies ring through the air, but not for you and I.

During the day I feel good, and at night I want to die. Leave me now; add my name to your list.

Don't ever come back, because your love I can't resist. by Tim O 'Flynn
