EDITOR’S NOTES-223
(#) The news of Shizuka Arakawa winning the gold medal was broadcasted early morning on Feb. 24, the day of our editorial meeting. I was delighted to hear such encouraging news after days of gloomy news. We hope that our Short News, too, can always provide you with news that makes people happy.
(#) I believe that by the time this issue reaches you, the spring will be in full bloom. And with time moving so fast, the Torino Olympic Winter Games may have already become a past topic.
(#) Now let me look at the pending problem of the bimonthly publication of Short News. Publishing no February issue had an affect on the article of our New Year’s Party. Although it was not anything requiring a very prompt report, the article of our main annual event of the New Year had to end up in the March issue, looking a bit lackluster. We regret that we couldn’t report the efforts of those concerned in
the event earlier.
(#) Even if we continue to publish our newsletter bimonthly in the future, we should try to keep in mind the importance of prompt news reporting and timely announcement of our events.
