Klipsun Magazine

The cover of Klipsun magazine has a legacy including but not limited to cartoon characters, school administrators, clowns, cars, peculiar folks and tulips. This issue, it seems our subject matter has taken a serious turn. Ann Yow, our photo advisor, best summed it up after she saw the image of illegal activity emblazoned on our computer screen.

Trying to breathe evenly she said, “This isn’t tulips.”

Klipsun is your campus magazine. It isn’t about tulips or heroin. It’s about you.

The editors of this quarter’s Klipsun struggled with the decision to use the arresting cover photo. We feel that hard-to-swallow …

n the past few years, Klipsun has offered issues with assorted themes, such as politics, consumerism, women’s issues and rela­tionships. When the other editors and I sat down to select which articles we wanted to run in this issue, we realized three stories shared a common theme — they all related to the performing arts.

Jeremy Stiles gives us a sample of an ordinary open mic night at a downtown Bellingham bar, where performers with visions of stardom come together with performers who don’t have the same aspirations but do share a love for music.

Klipsun Magazine

Articles that feature ordinary people living extraordinary lives are some of my favorite to read, and two stories in this issue of Klipsun illustrate this theme. The people in these stories are admirable not because they have fame or power or money, but because they have been confronted with countless horrors and tragedies, and their ability to keep everything in perspective remains. Their experiences reiterate a valuable lesson: The power of the human spirit to overcome adversity cannot be underestimated.

During the last production of Klipsun, one of our editors brought in what was then the newest issue of Rolling Stone. To say the least, we were disappointed. We weren’t shocked that Jennifer Aniston was featured nude on the cover. We weren’t shocked that Rolling Stone would use sex appeal to draw in readers. We all were, however, disappointed in Rolling Stone's blatant portrayal of women as sex objects. This time it was just too obvious and too extreme.

We discussed the trend of Rolling Stone placing scantily-clad women on the front cover, while showing men in T-shirts …

What is the purpose of getting a college education? Why are we here? There comes a point in every students college career when we ask ourselves questions like these. It may be that we are here because it was what people expected us to do. Maybe we always planned on going to college and never thought otherwise. Or, maybe we are here because we want to earn more money or make a better future for ourselves.

Whatever the reason we came here, we are all trying to accomplish the same thing. We want to get an education. In the movie …

''Many poets have said that love asks nothing, but I submit to you today that love demands everything."— Judge Donna Hitchens, Superior Court, Valentine’s Day, 1991

I ’ll admit it. I’m a quote person. I’ll read a great quote and immediately write it down and either hang it on a wall somewhere, tuck it in a notebook or write it in big bright letters on the side of an old pair of tennis shoes. No joke.

So, when I read the above quote, I grabbed the nearest scrap of paper and wrote with great flourish. And, after reading …
