From The Editor

 

Editorial
By fidam Honsinger

This is it: The last issue of the summer. As
of September we will return to our usual
weekly newspaper format. The August issue
heralds the close of the semester and the
beginning of a new academic year. And
frankly I’m not sure whether | should laugh or
cry.

| for one am excited about wiring myself to
the weekly grind of publication and its more
fluent movement from one issue to the next.
A momentum that | can only trust will function
a little more ardently than the lull and crash of
a monthly schedule.

This summer has proven to be a somewhat
serio-comic apprenticeship as the quadrilogy
of May, June, July and August will attest. The
sum of some good, honest, hard work, under
the scrutinizing random visitations of Murphy
and his diabolical axiom.

In the end | feel tenderized and marinat-
ed—ready for the heat of weekly deadlines,
both here at the paper and in my academic
pursuits. Thank you for persevering with our
attempts throughout the semester to negoti-
ate new software, design, staff and features
in concert with technical, human and some-
times divine expertise and error.
