 There was a time when you felt you were unable to do something. Today you surprise yourself doing it." The newsletter you have in your hands is the result of the joint effort of the stu­dents of English basic VI together with their teacher.
The idea of a Newsletter began when the students from sixth semester majoring in Language and Phi­lology realized that the school needed an informal way to communicate among them. In this way, it could be possible to share different opinions and expec­tations, as well as publishing information concern­ing the academic community.
The objective of this project is to start a Language and Philology school newsletter that can be thought as a window, a channel of communication among language stu­dents and as a way to reflect upon the academic envi­ronment surrounding the school. This collaborative ef­fort goes to show that if people have the will and the drive, it is possible to make dreams come true.
The Director of Capital Letter wants to invite you to contribute and cooperate to this purpose by send­ing your comments to uncapitalletter@yahoo.com.

CAPITAL LETTER 7: EDITORIAL

INDIFFERENCE IS THE NAME OF THE GAME Publicado en Capital Letter No. 7 Mayo de 2005 One of the questions we usually ask ourselves is why things are the way they are. There should be more peace, more security, more courses, more processes going on, more research, more changes… and endless list of other things. What are we doing to contribute to the construction of that better society we all envision and desire? Have we contributed in the creation and provision of peace, security, study opportunities or research processes for ourselves and the others? What has been our performance as individuals and as groups? What have our results been? The Universidad Nacional de Colombia is a place rich in human resources. Students and teachers have been given the chance to exchange and spread knowledge. However, we always complain about lack of opportunities to develop the writing skills and when the occasion comes we take no notice of it. The case of the present discussion originated from the ...
