Welcome to the premiere issue of Oblivion. As the title states, we won't let it slip into the void--at least, we'll try as hard as we can not to.
We wanted to get this issue out before winter break because we had many articles on subjects that were growing older by the day. We also wanted people to be thinking of writing to Oblivion over the long break. When you feel extremely bored, you'll remember Oblivion and that article by the "narrow-minded dumbshit" which you would like to publicly criticize and dispute. When you have reached that state, Oblivion becomes your forum.
There is always more than one side to an issue, and although the editor may take one side, we will print all of them. Publications printing selective or filtered information can be spotted like a supervisor through a disgruntled postal employee's scope.
This publication is not intended to replace--or even compete with--The Olympus. We will try to print information that would not normally be found in The Olympus. The circulation of Oblivion is minute compared with that of The Olympus, and on that note, we would like to ask you to share your copy of Oblivion.
You are encouraged to write to Oblivion with your comments, articles, letters to the editor, poetry, artwork and anything else you can think of. Any submissions are greatly appreciated. If you think you should have a monthly column, write us. If you think a certain teacher is an agent for the CIA, tell us. If you have seen Elvis, let us know (even though the "Elvis Sighting Letters" box is overflowing right now).
You can include any information about yourself that you feel is relevant. You need not disclose any information about yourself if you so choose. Oblivion does not discriminate on the basis of identity. So, please, send any submissions to the address seen throughout this 'zine, and thank you for reading.
