A happier, brighter, more fun paper for your Tuesday Morning

What do you think so far about the new Newspeak? Our newest endeavor is an attempt to make a newspaper which is more readable, fun, and interesting. We wanted the paper to be less dark, and we feel that the new size will make it easier to handle and read. We intend to include many more photographs and graphics than previous issues. And the crimson on the front and back pages gives the paper an extra kick.

Not only has the look changed, but we are also interested in changing the content. We want to create a newspaper that the campus community wants to read, as opposed to something they have to read. We would like to have more fun articles on things around campus: interesting things that students do, little known facts, and student opinions. We would like more involvement with campus groups and offices, such as the Career Development Center, because what they do is very important to the students. Also, this is a college campus, and there are always academic innovations being made. We would like to report on these, too. Bored on the weekends? Hopefully, we'll be able to have some people write about things to do on the weekends. We also want to get more cartoons and other fun stuff, probably even a nationally syndicated crossword puzzle. What else would you like to see?

Now before we continue, take a look at our staff box. How many writers do you see?

We think that many of you would agree that a fun paper would be fun to write for. We are sure that our readership will improve. We hope that people will be more interested in writing for us (if you are, please email newspeak@wpi).

So, enjoy the new Newspeak! Please let us know what you think, and give us any feedback you might have.
