Enjoy Spring Break, but prepare for an onslaught

In the 37-year history of Craven Community College, Student Council has never met on a Monday.

On April 4, however, CCC's Student Council will do just that in a special meeting called for the sole purpose of discussing and voting upon the college administration's proposed editorial policy for the Campus Communicator, an odious and insulting document foisted upon us in an administrative effort to establish dominion over an independent student newspaper and install an advisory committee imbued with the power to steamroll student editors.

Don't spend your Spring Break seething. Go to the beach. Sleep in 'til noon. Take a breather from this relentless and taxing controversy.

But the day you return to school, be ready to respectfully yet vociferously object to this draconian document and the de facto censorship committee it would create. The meeting will be held at noon April 4 in Orringer Auditorium, and I encourage all Commies to attend and speak out against CCC's illegal move, which has been condemned by the American Civil Liberties Union, Student Press Law Center, Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and Raleigh media law firm Everett, Gaskins, Hancock & Stevens, LLP.

Mitzi and I are drafting an alternate editorial policy, which we plan to deliver to Student Council bright and early April 4. If anyone is interested in assisting, please send me an e-mail or call my cell phone.
