     This is the sixth SUN this term, and each one has 
     
     brought our staff the satisfaction of a job completed. 
     
     Unfortunately, we have also felt frustration, frustration, 
     
     from mistakes made. Mistakes are bad anywhere, but in the 
     
     newspaper business they are especially irritating. That 
     
     is because once the paper is in print they are beyond 
     
     -correction. >They simply settle within the pages 
     
    

    
     defying staff and misinforming readers. ‘ 
     
    

    
     This editorial has been inspired by specific blunders 
     
     in last week's SUN. The first of them, we're told, has 
     
     upset the home economics department. The faux pas in ‘ 
     
     question was‘in the article entitled, "Dalton Hall Meals." 
     
     There appeared a sentence which read, "As the home 
     
     economics students are leaving the managerial process and 
     
     intricate workings of a food service behind, you will be 
     
     able to dine in style for just the costs of ingredients 
     
     and preparation." Does that make sense? Maybe so, but 
     
     it should read this way. "As the home economics students 
     
     are learning the managerial process and intricate 
     
     workings of a food service business, you will be able to 
     
     dine in style for just the costs of ingredients and 
     
     preparation." That was mistake number one, and we 
     
     hope that now we have properly corrected it. 
     
    

    
     The second.major error was on the same page. It 
     
     was in the Fall Fest Schedule, just where we wanted it 
     
     least. Whoever laid out the schedule (probably,the 
     
     editor) omitted part of it. The result was the 
     
     jumbling of Thursdays and Friday's events creating a 
     
     confused and downright misleading situation. Hopefully 
     
     we didn't spoil anyone's week—end, and.we assure 
     
     everyone that it won't happen again, at least not 
     
     during Fall Fest. 
     
    

    
     The secret in newspaper work is to minimize mistakes. 
     
     Gripping that secret is one goal of the SUN, and it 
     
     is a goal which may eventually be reached. Pat 
     
     Ingraham, Lachlan MacQuarrie, and the rest of our 
     
     staff are helping us get there. Pat's typing is 
     
     frequently flawless, and the copy she doesn't 
     
     handle is carefully scanned by Lachlan and our other 
     
     proofreaders. Some errors survive this process, but 
     
     we usually don't make the same ones twice in a row. 
     
     At least we're learning. 
     
    

    
     Not often do newspapers acknowledge mistakes, but 
     
     there you go, the SUN has done it. Our redeeming 
     
     qualities are that we try to correct ourselves and 
     
     that we invite our readers to join both the SUN and 
     
     the struggle to improve it. If we're lucky maybe 
     
     someday the eagle at the bottom of this page won't 
     
     be necessary.‘ -
