HIGHLANDER PAGE 2 Edito rials on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1969. 8 Iron Horse to Make a Change As the article on the front page states, the fron Horse Game has long been dominated by the Ogden Tigers. Scots, let’s change history. Starting this year, why not let Ben Lomond start dominating the series? The first thing that needs to be done is to make the football team realize that Ogden is just another school. They’re not better than we are and they can be beaten, easily. It seems that Ben Lomond isn’t the only school that has trouble beating Ogden. Take Weber for instance. Since the Little Brown Jug started 43 years ago, has won 32 We need to start winning for another reason, too. Each time that Ogden or Ben Lomond wins the Iron Horse, a railroad tie is painted on their side of the track in their school colors. If Ogden wins about five more Highlander ‘70- School dent kno largely contributions. So on stuif you omething printable about ick and Lat ry, drop it e you want to read. Under a advisor, the paper staff this . wants one thing—to please And if we don’t, we invite to tell us about it. new year you. you The paper this year wants to do some things that haven’t been done in the past. First, among these is a “LETTERS TO THE EDITOR” column that will be a real voice for the students. Each letter will be accompanied by a comment by the Editor. Gripes, praise, or suggestions to the student body, faculty, administration, or school board are welcome. These letters may be submitted in person or dropped in one of the boxes in the office or library. Letters need not be typed, but must be accompanied by name. However, if just cause is shown, the name will not be printed, and your anonymity guaranteed. This column, containing well-managed controversy, promises to be one of the paper’s interesting features. This year’s paper will also contain a “LOVE LORN” column and a “GOSSIP” column. These Dad.could ; te G ny dilewance you a4 to 50¢? Fellow BE SURE Scots, Ps will feel about one year you graduate.

The same applies to those with broken hearts who want the world to know about it. Letters to the “LOVE LORN” column need not be accompanied by your name. The newspaper this year, more so than in other years, will depend on advertising for production. When we obtain ads from people and businesses, we tell them that our studentbody will support and patronize them. You could do your part by commenting casually, to our downtown sponsors, that you saw their ad in our paper. As a parting note, we, of the Highlander staff realize that our paper doesn’t measure up to the New York Times, but we're proud of our work and big alligator tears well up in our eyes when we see it scattered all over the campus. A paper it is, a door mat it isn’t. Please help. With your cooperation we think we can make the paper this year a functional voice of the students here at BEN LOMOND.

How else would he be able to explain my feelings in the words of his and our song. So fellow Scots let’s all fight to keep our spirits high in Ben Lomond.

Also for the first several years that Roy and Bonneville were around, they couldn’t beat Ogden. From my viewpoint, there seems to be some kind of fear which comes over us each time we play Ogden. I believe it’s time we change that feeling from fear to revenge.
