From The Editor

 

 

Editorial
By Adam Honsinger

Greetings, and welcome to the first of
four summer issues of the Other Press in
a swank and exciting magazine format. |
have recently taken over as the editor
here at the OP and have launched my
tyrannical dictatorship inspired by the
hard-nosed journalistic approach of my
mentor, Lou Grant. Although the paper
remains autonomous and ultimately run
by the collective, | hope to bring a sharp-
ened sense of accountability tempered
with a soft-boiled friendliness to the
paper’s organizational culture.
Accountability to you the student body,
and friendliness to those who work so
diligently to pull off the miracle of publi-
cation each week, or, as is the case
through the summer semester, each lazy
month.

As many student papers do, the OP
has oscillated through the years between
hard times, skeletal staff and prosperity. |
feel that the Other Press is moving into a
new season of graphic, journalistic and
literary integrity. If nothing else we hope
to make the paper look good and this
vision includes a higher profile, expand-
ed distribution, and some exciting new
editorial features—in short, more adjec-
tives. Throughout the summer, we will be
brainstorming and experimenting with
new concepts and ideas so that (theoret-
ically) by September we will be a finely
tuned production machine.

| would like to extend a gracious wel-
come to those who have recently joined
the OP roster, as our team expands to
meet the goals of this blossoming vision,
and thanks to you for picking the paper
up. We are located downstairs in room
1020 and if the door is open come on in,
and if it is closed, knock. We welcome
your feedback and look forward to enter-
taining, stimulating and informing you
throughout the semester.

Sincerely, Adam Honsinger, Editor
