      Editorial
      6:
      Some
      people
      loves
      to
      bitch
     
    
   
   
    
     
      In
      last
      week's
      editorial
      I
      went
     
     
      on
      about
      how
      sore
      my
      shoulder
      was,
     
     
      and
      how
      I
      was
      unsure
      how
      much
      the
     
     
      ambulance
      ride
      would
      be.
      Well,
      I
      spent
     
     
      all
      of
      one
      day
      at
      the
      doctors,
      and
      noth-
     
     
      ing
      was
      said
      that
      I
      already
      didn't
      know.
     
     
      And
      then
      a
      bunch
      of
      shit
      went
      down
     
     
      around
      the
      office.
      An
      employee
      of
      The
     
     
      Cadre
      publicly
      stated
      that
      there
      was
      an.
     
     
      "overthrow"
      in
      the
      planning.
      A
      group
      of
     
     
      seven
      Cadre
      people
      were
      dissatisfied
     
     
      with
      the
      paper,
      so
      they
      were
      going
      to
     
     
      leave.
     
    

    
     
      Is
      there
      any
      better
      way
      to
      get
      a
     
     
      headache?
      It
      was
      sometime
      around
      then
     
     
      that
      I
      decided
      to
      forget
      about
      my
      shoul-
     
     
      der
      and
      start
      taking
      pain
      killers.
      And
      I
     
     
      began
      plowing
      through
      a
      half
      a
      pack
      of
     
     
      smokes
      before
      lunch.
      And
      these
      things
     
     
      made
      my
      shoulder
      better.
      Except
      for
     
    
   
   
    
     
      _
      one
      thing
      I
      found
      out.
      My
      shoulder
     
    
   
   
    
     
      hurt,
      but
      I
      could
      manage,
      but
      there
      was
     
     
      one
      thing
      that
      made
      my
      shoulder
      feel
     
     
      like
      it
      was
      ripping
      apart.
     
    

    
     
      Bagpipes...
      Holy
      crap
      does
      the
     
     
      sound
      of
      bagpipes
      make
      my
      shoulder
     
     
      scream
      in
      horrible
      pain.
      Go
      figure...
     
    

    
     
      So
      I
      had
      an
      employee
      who
      per-
     
     
      sonally
      didn't
      like
      me,
      and
      was
      using
     
     
      my
      position
      as
      Editor-in-Chief
      to
      bring
     
     
      down
      the
      paper.
      It
      was
      a
      pretty
      childish
     
     
      thing
      to
      do;
      to
      threaten
      The
      Cadre
      and
     
     
      not
      even
      make
      any
      reasons
      known,
      just
     
     
      that
      the
      Cadre
      is
      disorganized.
     
    

    
     
      And
      it
      is,
      the
      shear
      amount
      of
      |
     
     
      information
      we
      get
      from
      day
      to
      day
     
     
      sees
      to
      that.
      There
      are
      some
      serious
     
     
      lines
      of
      communication
      that
      we've
      —
     
     
      always
      had
      problems
      with.
      An
      other
     
     
      complaint
      was
      that
      The
      Cadre
      is
      unpro-
     
     
      fessional.
      Fucking
      dammed
      straight
      we
     
     
      are
      unprofessional.
      We
      are
      a
      group
      (a
     
     
      Cadre,
      almost)
      of
      underpaid
      students
     
     
      who
      basically
      volunteer
      their
      time
      to
     
     
      putting
      this
      paper
      out.
      Sometimes
      we
     
     
      drink
      in
      the
      office,
      sometime
      we
      yell
      at
     
    
   
   
    
     
      -
      each
      other,
      sometimes
      members
      of
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      opposite
      sex
      are
      entertained
      up
      here,
     
     
      and
      sometimes
      nothing
      gets
      done
      in
      the
     
     
      course
      of
      a
      day.
      But
      we
      are
      all
      students,
     
     
      and
      who
      expect
      us
      to
      behave
      like
      little
     
     
      monkey
      men
      all
      dressed
      in
      business
     
     
      suits.
     
    

    
     
      And
      the
      last
      problem
      that
      I
      was
     
     
      able
      to
      discern
      from
      this
      group
      was
      that
     
     
      The
      Cadre
      was
      undemocratic.
      To
      this
      I
     
     
      can
      only
      respond
      with
      God
      dammed,
     
     
      you
      better
      believe
      The
      Cadre
      is
      unde-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      mocratic.
      It's
      the
      nature
      of
      my
      job,
      it
     
     
      was
      why
      I
      was
      hired
      last
      year,
      and
     
     
      given
      editorial
      prerogative.
      We
      can't
     
    
   
   
    
     
      effectively
      vote
      on
      every
      issue,
      and
     
    
   
   
    
     
      there
      are
      always
      times
      when
      a
      decision
     
     
      has
      to
      be
      made.
      Some
      people
      may
      not
     
     
      like
      it,
      but
      The
      Cadre
      does
      have
      a
      hier-
     
     
      archy
      and
      chain
      of
      command,
      which
     
     
      has
      me
      pretty
      dammed
      close
      to
      the
      top.
     
    

    
     
      Now
      there
      are
      people
      who
     
     
      don't
      like
      that,
      and
      I
      spoke
      about
      the
     
     
      situation
      to
      the
      president
      of
      Canadian
     
     
      University
      Press,
      and
      he
      assured
      me
     
     
      that
      I
      am
      not
      being
      detrimental
      to
      the
     
     
      newspaper,
      and
      that
      these
      critics
      are
     
     
      speaking
      way
      out
      of
      their
      area
      of
     
     
      knowledge.
      He
      also
      said
      that
      if
      they
     
     
      were
      unimpressed
      with
      The
      Cadre,
      then
     
     
      they
      are
      free
      to
      leave
      and
      start
      their
     
     
      own
      paper.
      It
      is
      feasible,
      and
      it
      would
     
     
      give
      a
      taste
      of
      what
      it
      is
      like
      to
      run
      a
     
     
      paper.
      A
      former
      UPEISU
      executive
     
     
      assured
      me
      that
      with
      any
      executive
     
     
      position
      you
      will
      always
      get
      ignorant
     
     
      people
      who
      have
      no
      idea
      of
      what
      is
     
     
      actually
      done
      from
      day
      to
      day,
      and
      will
     
     
      accuse
      you
      of
      doing
      nothing.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      "there
      is
      a
      plan
      in
      the
      works
      to
      over-
     
     
      throw
      the
      Cadre.
      I
      told
      a
      few
      people
     
     
      how
      I
      was
      quitting,
      and
      they
      said
      ther
     
     
      were
      too.
      There
      are
      a
      whole
      bunch
      of
     
     
      us
      leaving
      in
      protest
      to
      the
      unorganiza-
     
     
      tion
      and
      disfunction
      of
      the
      Ca
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Strong
      words.
      And
      probably
     
     
      one
      of
      the
      last
      things
      I
      wanted
      to
      be
     
     
      brought
      to
      my
      attention
      on
      a
      busy
     
     
      morning.
     
    

    
     
      _
      There's
      a
      commercial
      on
      TV
     
     
      for
      Denver
      Hayes,
      where
      a
      girl
      splashes
     
     
      a
      guy
      in
      the
      face
      with
      a
      glass
      of
      water.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      asked
      a
      roomamte
      if
      that
      had
      ever
     
     
      happened
      to
      him,
      and
      he
      laughed
      and
     
     
      said
      no.
      He
      asked
      if
      it
      had
      happened
      to
     
     
      me,
      and
      twice
      in
      my
      life
      someone
      at
      a
     
     
      bar
      has
      splashed
      a
      drink
      in
      my
      face.
      It's
     
     
      an
      ability
      I
      have,
      to
      really
      piss
      off
      peo-
     
     
      ple
      to
      the
      point
      where
      they
      don't
      think
     
     
      rationally.
      ;
     
    

    
     
      So
      what
      is
      going
      to
      happen
     
     
      around
      the
      office?
      Our
      weekly
      meeting
     
     
      was
      moderated
      by
      the
      Chair
      of
      Council.
     
     
      and
      a
      lot
      of
      ideas
      were
      thrown
      around.
     
     
      And
      a
      lot
      of
      them
      were
      really
      good
     
     
      ideas.
      Some
      were
      flat-out
      misinforma-
     
     
      tion,
      and
      some
      are
      inapplicable
      to
      The
     
     
      Cadre.
      Yet
      four
      of
      five
      major
      things
     
     
      will
      be
      done
      to
      make
      The
      Cadre
      run
     
     
      more
      smoothly.
      I'm
      all
      for
      changing
      the
     
     
      inner
      workings
      of
      The
      Cadre,
      yet
      I'm
     
     
      much
      more
      hesitant
      to
      change
      the
     
     
      external
      look
      to
      The
      Cadre.
     
    

    
     
      People
      like
      The
      Cadre
      this
     
     
      year.
      Its
      look
      isn't
      as
      finished
      as
      last
     
     
      year,
      but
      its
      content
      has
      been
      amazing.
     
     
      Yet
      just
      as
      there
      are
      people
      who
      think
     
     
      The
      Cadre
      is
      readable
      this
      year,
      there
     
     
      are
      people
      who
      think
      The
      Cadre
      is
      shit.
     
     
      Some
      want
      a
      return
      to
      three
      years
      ago,
     
     
      when
      we
      were
      always
      light
      on
      news
     
     
      but
      heavy
      on
      jokes.
      I'm
      happy
      with
      The
     
    
   
   
    
     
      '
      Cadre,
      and
      most
      people
      I
      talk
      to
      are
     
    
   
   
    
     
      also.
     
     
      And
      are
      you
      still
      wondering
     
     
      how
      much
      that
      God
      dammed
      ambu-
     
     
      lance
      ride
      cost?
      I
      got
      a
      bill
      in
      the
      mail
     
     
      for
      $600.
      f
     
     
      Next
      time
      I'm
      in
      an
      accident
     
     
      I'm
      walking
      to
      the
      hospital.
      Or
      calling
      a
     
    
   
   
    
     
      cab.
