In this way campusevents will be more likely to get comprehensive coverage.The responsibility for publishing a good newspaper, in thefinal analysis, resides in the student body, so all <strong>of</strong> youbudding journalists get <strong>of</strong>f your butts and truck on over to theMartlet <strong>of</strong>fice.Applications can be made verbally to Bob Higinbotham,Editor, or in writing. Written applications should be shovedthrough the Martlet door (through the mail slot) or given tothe girl in the SUB.genera1 <strong>of</strong>fice. Remember, no experienceis necessary, just an interest in helping put out a good paper.John-Destry Adams toiled inanomymity for 12 years in theCanadian Armed Forces beforebreaking into Canadian theatre ina conyincing way.

Bar Manager Bert Weiss’has to go andhave an accident.Sure, it would be easy to place the blame for Bert’shurt lip on Bertihimself, but that only tends to burythe real issues. Student bureaucrats would do well toheed the words <strong>of</strong> Kenneth F. Krutchfield, who said,“Try to start a business without having made aninitial capital outlay for the necessary tools <strong>of</strong> thetrade and the first thing you know, an employee hasan accident, and the Workmen’s Compensation Boardis down neck.” yourThat comment is certainly warthy <strong>of</strong> reflection. It’sonly by divine intervention that the Compensationpeople didn’t swoop down on us immediately.The old adage “an ounce <strong>of</strong> prevention is worth apound <strong>of</strong> cure” has merit. If the AMS had providedBert with a proper corkscrew, perhaps that cork‘wouldn’t have popped out and hit Bert on the lip.If the liquor control board hers about it, which Ipray they do not, very stiff conditions will have to bemet by the AMS before they’ll grant us a permanentlicence, perhaps to the extent that bartenders notedfor their lack <strong>of</strong> efficacy with wine bottles will have towear hardhats and mouthguards, and nobody wantsthat.Perhaps, though, it’s better if the whole incident isforgotten. Further publicity could only serve toaggravate the injury already done. Let’s all jointogether and wish Bert’s lip a speedy recovery, andhope that Bert learns how to better handle his liquor.Mexican studentsdrive to free 100political’ prisonersMEXICO (CUP11 - A new The student demonstrationscampaign began in Mexico’s that began July 8 at the nauniversitiesJuly 8 for the ac- tional university and at thequittal <strong>of</strong> ‘Mexican political pri- national polytechnic institutesoners, particularly students here,, were called by a commitwhowere jailed in 1968. ttr <strong>of</strong> lawyers and intellectuals.With the presidential election If .the students do not come<strong>of</strong> July 5 completed an ’ Luis Out Of the isolated campuses,Echeverria Alvarez, the , ,ern- the government does not interingparty’: candidate, eiczted, fere.
