02/09/2011 Editorial

Last week, Punxsutawney Phil paced the permafrosted fields of Gobbler’s Knob unable to find his shadow confirming that spring is just around the corner.

Although we have been skeptical of this groundhog’s clairvoyancy in the past, we can say, now, without hesitation, that his predictions are correct. Although the flowers have yet to bloom and the chilly weather is still upon us, something is springing to life in our college community; something is growing, and its roots lie in the newspaper you are holding.

The Communitarian and The Communitarian Online (our soon to be launched website) will bear the fruits of a new community: a community of scholars, writers, photographers, musicians, athletes, film enthusiasts, technology aficionados and party goers. We speak of this community, -- the students and faculty who are Delaware County Community College -- this family of readers, writers and thinkers.

This is your source of news, reflecting and displaying your interests, achievements and the stories, both local and national, that directly and indirectly affect your life. This spring we are growing and evolving to meet your needs, wants and expectations. So grab a paper for yourself and a friend, sit back and enjoy this, the spring 2011 edition of The Communitarian.
