Page 2 THE EMPATH October 26, 1982 pn«OAL: Because of Lack of Participation The EMPATH May Shut Down THE EMPATH did not print last week due to ‘lack of participation’. The handfull of us who are running this paper could nave compensated for those who did not contribute, but failing our mid-terms seemed like too large a sacrifice to make. It seems like this campus thinks THE EMPATH comes out all by itself, whether you help us out or not. THE EMPATH has always been understaffed, but in a significant, transitional period like the present, we felt there would be more interest in having a paper to keep up with these issues. We now barely have the staff to publish bi-weekly and if it weren’t for a dedicated few, you wouldn’t have seen an EMPATH yet this semester. We need your support if we are going to be able to keep functioning at all. Maybe some of you feel a student voice is not important. If so, fine. We’ll go back to our suffering studies. If you do hold this as a priority for a college, then it is time to lend a hand. There are many ways in which you can contribute. By writing news, sports, features, opmion, letters. Or bringing us information on your organization, or anything else you find important or interesting. We are certainly not limited to the type of format you have seen thusfar. Give us some of your creative ideas, I know they’re there. Our meeting times and deadlines are posted outside our office door. Come by this week and leave your name and number if you are interested in saving your student newspaper. If we don’t get some input by next week we will be forced to shut down. Let’s hope it does not come to this. PLAYING WITH FIRE THE EMPATH The Empath is published by the students o f St. Mary's College o f Md.

The result: a fifteen yard penalty. Great. This moved them about 20 yards from their own end zone. I, on the other hand, was “nailed” upside the head and knocked senseless to the ground for what seemed like three or four days. The call: 3rd down. Congratulations, good hit. But wait . . . this is flag football. I suppose when you’ve beaten everyone by the rules the trick is to become a ref so you can fix a game. Sound familiar guys? This is in no way disrespectful of the Exception’s win (who are also 7-1). They didn’t call the game. Just the players from the teams we beat did. Think about it. And then there’s next year — maybe we can get some seeing eye dogs to referee.
