But this is tangential. There are many reasons to write editorials for the Wheel, not the least of which is that it is pathetically easy. It also helps if you don't sound like a total idiot on paper. A little panache. Sea-green idealism coated in the rusty scale of ennui.
Content also matters.
Here are some good topics for editorials. And writing for the Wheel is not without its benefits. Second, the Wheel has a readership of 15,000. So when it comes to spreading a gospel, we're talking maximum penetration. A righteous impregnation of the entire student body, if ever there was one.
