The
last
word
By Tony Reinhart
Letters to the editor This week,
turn over the reins of Spoke to a new editor and staff. Every four months a new group of journalism students takes over production of your college newspaper. In case you’re wondering, this, my last column, will not be a sappy tear-jerker in which I say I’m sad to leave and how wonderful it was to be editor of Spoke. As is true about any period of life, the last four months had their share of successes
and
I
failures.
many college and university papers, Spoke’s content provided almost exclusively by journalism students. As such, we are trained to report news in a serious, professional manner so that we can get jobs after we graduate. This training gives us the skills to write for general public audiences. But general public audiences differ greatly from college audiences. On Spoke, I and the staff were confronted with having to decide between the two. Should we write only hard news for our own professional gain, or should we provide a balance of news and student-oriented features for the students Unlike

decided that our first responsibility was not to ourselves, but to the students. We felt that, regardless of what some people thought we should be doing, we would try to get more students to read Spoke. The only way to judge a newspaper’s success is by the number of people who read it. Did we succeed? We have no scientific proof that we did; no surveys or statistics to indicate the quality of our performance. What we did receive was some response from students and others at the college. And response, whether positive or negative, means that people are reading the paper. We received complaints from other Conestoga campuses that we wrote too much about the Doon campus. This was a valid claim, so we tried to provide more coverage of the other campuses where possible. We tried, but this is an area that still needs improvement. We heard through the grapevine that I and the staff had made Spoke worse, both in appearance and content; that our methods were somewhat less than professional. I can only assume that most of these detractors, many from within the journalism program, simply missed our point. Spoke is not and never was intended to be a faculty newspaper, nor should it be a guinea-pig for the journalism students who write it. Spoke is a student newspaper and should aspire to be nothing else. If we try to emulate the Globe and Mail, we will produce nothing more than bird-cage lining. The Globe and Mail is arguably the finest newspaper in the country, but it is aimed at a specific audience. Since Spoke’s audience is made up of Conestoga College students, it must provide content that interests Conestoga College students. We decided that student reaction should carry much more weight than that from any other source, and considering that we can say that we made Spoke a little bit better. The only way this paper will continue to improve is if students take more responsibility for what goes into it, by voicing opinions in letters to the editor, and if future Spoke staff remember who they are writing for. With that I wish the incoming Spoke staff much success, and ask them to remember a group of newspaper people in Toronto who wanted to try something different some years ago. When others said they would fail, they established a successful paper (The Sun) in the face of stiff competition, and continue to attract an audience that still hasn’t stopped growing. Their secret? Faith in themselves. Thanks for reading Spoke.

The Conestoga Spoke. That’s a very interesting name for a paper. Or is it? The word “Spoke” isn’t bad, it’s the rest that seems confusing. I can’t understand why it isn’t called the “Doon Spoke,” considering that the only input allowed

turnout from a few campuses is a lot better than only 50 from Doon at a hockey game. I’ve never seen a poster or any information about hockey at our campus. I didn’t even know we had a team, and I enjoy hockey. I realize that the thought of having to associate with one of the smaller campuses might be appalling to some, but that’s about as intelligent as refusing to help someone because they sit on the other side of the class. We are all here for career training, so let us get together and “get the most out of our college experience.” Now comes the big test. Does Doon control Spoke, or is the paper open to all students?

Bad
claimed
faith
By Jamie Reaume Three charges of bad faith bargaining were made by the college teachers’ union against the Council of Regents because of material distributed by the colleges prior to the Feb. 18 strike vote by 8,700 academic members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU). Members from Ontario’s 22 community colleges marginally opposed striking by a 51.4 per cent vote against the action. Conestoga College, with 297 of the 380 members voting, rejected the strike action by 59.3 per cent. Bart Wesseling, president of Local 237 at Conestoga, said the
documents distributed changed the vote by 10 per cent province-wide but around 20 per cent at Conestoga College. The documents alleged that the union “abandoned” the contract talks after the weekend of Feb. 13-14. On the document was the signature of Ray Illing, the mediaprovincially-appointed

led the team with the most points per game average for the
season with 15. With the team’s final record of 4 wins and 14 losses, they didn’t qualify for the playoffs.
