EDITORIALS
An Open Letter to the Morris
Brown Campus Community
From the Editor:
J am happy to say that
this begins a new era in
the evolution of the
Wolverine Observer. What
has been a student publica
tion is stepping into the
bounds of being a full-
fledged campus communi
cation device. Why limit the
paper to articles, current
events, and something to
throw in the trash when
you’ve finished reading it?
My fellow students, 1997
begins the building of a
legacy that was envisioned
by the founding fathers of
Morris Brown College,
national recognition, and the
Wolverine Observer will be
one of the key elements in
this process. You’re tired of
school registration? You’re
tired of not having anywhere
to park? There’s nothing to
do after dinner? You thought
this was supposed to be
college? In fact, you’re right.
This school is for you,
your development, your
education, and your future,
but you have to make your
time here profitable. How is
that possible? Write about
your experiences, your
complaints, your recommen
dations, and your sugges
tions. That’s what the
newspaper is here for; to
acknowledge the academic
vision and the ever-changing
minds of the students, then
blending the two visions into
our school’s lifeline, the
curriculum. I am challenging
every student on campus to
be a part of this evolution.
Write what you feel. Write
what you think. Express
your concerns. Observe,
evaluate, and speak your
piece with the underlying
trust that your faculty and
staff will listen, absorb, and
acknowledge you as the
future. In addition, I am
challenging all members of
the faculty and staff to
become the catalysts of this
process. Remember, you are
dedicated to educating us,
the leaders of tomorrow.
With that said, let’s make
1997 a year to remember!

If God in his infinite wisdom has a
book in simple, everyday, and common
language, why would man in his little
wisdom try to write so complex?
I will tell you why. The writer seeks
to make up for his lack of knowledge
by trying to fool the rest of mankind
by impressing us with his use of
imagery. The writer feels if he can
prove himself to Man, he has proven
himself to God as well. This is the
reason why many writers start off
thinking they know everything and end
up knowing nothing. We are a small
group that knows only God gets
things right the first time.
Somehow, the poets are most at
fault of this crime. They have made
themselves critics, writers, and the
audience. That way, they will be
perfect amongst themselves. Sad, that
if writers had the chance to try to
impress God, we would probably be
forbidden from him or at the least,
exiled from the rest of humanity.
