Our Pulse is pounding for students
We’re back! And we’re
already working hard
to try to give you what
you want.
For those of you who haven’t read
Pulse before, it’s the Emerald’s
weekly arts and entertainment sec
tion. And for you longtime readers
— “longtime” referring to our less
than-two-year existence—we have
a few new things in store for you,
which you can look forward to each
week.
But not to worry; we’re not chang
ing everything. We still intend to of
fer the same diverse coverage that
Pulse has always provided. We just
want to add a little more: a little
more variety, a little more conven
ience.
For those of you who love re
views, you’re in luck. Remember
flipping through your copy of Pulse,
trying to locate all of the randomly
placed reviews? No more. In this is
sue, you will note, all of our reviews
are collected together and located
under a cleverly named heading:
“Reviews.” But wait; there’s more!
We already frequently review CDs,
films and live performances. But
now, we’ll more often let you know
what we think about books, videos
and even video games. And — who
knows? — maybe more.
And for those of you who just
15 Minutes
Get involved by submitting your
original work to our new "15 Min
utes” section. Display artwork, po
ems, recipes, anecdotes—whatev
er you have created and would like
displayed in Pulse. We’ll try our best
to publish all entries that meet our
guidelines:
Please limit textual content to 100
words.
No anonymous work will be accept
ed.
We reserve the right to edit submis
sions for length, clarity, grammar,
style and libel.
All work should be original—that
means yourownl
Be creative!
Important: Submissions will not be
returned.
Submit entries to EMU Suite 300 or
mhande@gladstone.uoregon.edu.
cannot get enough of Pulse, we’ll
give you more of that too. Are Tues
days good for you? Starting next
week, we’ll reserve a page of the
Emerald each Tuesday for arts and
entertainment news. You can check
out what’s happening in the com
munity and on campus up until
Thursday, when Pulse is published.
So, what should you expect to
read each week in Pulse? Good
question! In fact, I was just about to
give you the answer.
Remember “Cheap Date”? It’s
contents include ways to treat that
special someone to a nice day or
evening out without totally empty
ing your bank account. Well, no
matter how hard you look, you
won’t find it in this week’s issue.
But stay tuned. We do plan to fea
ture it this term.
And remember our syndicated
advice column, “Ask Harlan”? Sor
ry fans; not everything can be sal
vaged. Until we get enough positive
feedback, we’re putting him on the
back burner. But the idea of an ad
vice column of some sort has not
been dismissed. Keep your sugges
tions rolling in.
But, what’s new, you ask? For one
thing, while college life has the infa
mous reputation of constant party
ing and beer guzzling, it’s important
to remember that alcohol-free fun is
not obsolete. Each week, we’ll fea
ture “Good Clean Fun,” highlight
ing a drug- and alcohol-free event or
activity.
Finally, Pulse is not about us; it’s
about you. That’s why we want your
contributions. Get your 15 minutes
of fame by getting your work pub
lished in Pulse. We’re introducing a
weekly section called “15 Minutes,”
where we will feature original work
by you, of all people! Hey, it’s the
least we can do to make you a part of
Pulse. Send us your original poems,
anecdotes, artwork ... anything!
We’ll also feature student polls in
this section, which you’ll notice in
this issue, to reveal what you have
to say about entertainment and pop
culture-related issues.
We want you to be as involved as
possible. Please, be an active read
er. Tell us how we can improve. I
want to know what you think.
