Well hello, Douglas College! Miss us much? Ahh, that’s sweet—we’ve missed you, too. Since our production schedule has switched over to the lazy, hazy days of summer, we'll only be comin’ at ya once a month from now on. It’s tragic, yes. But Submission Guidelines Summer submission deadlines are May 2, July 1, and July 29. For letters to the Editor, vacant sections, and “time-sensitive” articles (weekend news, sports, and cultural reviews) contact the editor at: that’s life, baby. Now that you’ve reached a certain age and are busy gettin’ all colleged up, it’s time you understood that life ain’t all sunshine and roses. Sometimes, it’s hard. Sometimes it’s really, really hard. Sometimes it’s so hard, in fact, that you can only get one issue of the Other Press per month. But, even hard-time clouds like these have their proverbial silver linings. After all, receiving only one Other Press per month allows you to spend so much more time with each issue. Time to really get to know them, and to let them get to know you. Take them to the beach, share a pitcher of margaritas with them, introduce them to your patents...bond with them—you’ve got the time, so use it. This month we’ve got loads of election coverage for you to chew on. (Figuratively of course, not literally. We don’t recom- mend that you physically consume the Other Press, especially since we’ve recently downgraded to a suspiciously cheap and odd-smelling ink.) Read all about the crazy candidates in our News and Opinions sec- tions, and impress your friends with your wealth of political knowledge. Just be care- ful whom you quote J.J. McCullough to—we’d hate for you to get beaten up on our account. Next up, A&E Editor Iain Reeve treats us to a veritable slew of concert recaps— such a busy little social butterfly he is, makes me miss the days when I was young and actually had a life, too. Once you get good and cultured up by the A&E section, it’s time to move on to Features Editor Kevin Welsh’s fascinating and informative takes on film remakes and the American Basketball Association. Now, with your sporting appetite whetted by the basketball feature, why not jog on over to the Sports section where Sports Editor Darren Paterson brings his A game—his writing A game, that is. Man, that was pretty lame... “his writing A game,” I mean, really, c’mon. I promise ll do better next issue—after all, I’ve got an entire month to prepare. Which is exactly what Pll be doing for the next four weeks. Sitting in front of a computer writing and rewriting my June “Lettitor.” I promise. So, think of me while you’re out drinking margaritas on the beach with your parents and your May issue of the Other Press. I do this for you, people. I do it for you. Everything I do, I do it for you... —Amanda Aikman, Managing Editor All other submissions should be forwarded to the appropriate section editor.
