After a semester filled with coverage of vaginas, snow days, and the many activities of Adam Carlis, the Daily is moving on. Despite drama, heated debate, surprise candidates, and sexual innuendo, Tufts' daily newspaper managed to complete its elections last Friday afternoon without TCUJ intervention. Ben "This girl in my weightlifting class..." Oshlag relinquished command of the editor-in-chief position to Benjamin "I lent my girlfriend to Russ" Gedan.
During his term, Gedan plans to serve donuts and Doritos at Friday meetings and institute weekly vocabulary quizzes. Oshlag, however, will be neither gone nor forgotten, promising to cover women's soccer while attending Tufts' graduate school.
Serving as Gedan's understudy will be Managing Editor Russell "Business casual" Capone, who will continue to call section editors, and "Vinny," with questions at least five times a night. After having difficulty with the French women, Will "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" Kinlaw will be returning to Tufts to try his luck on American soil and join the exec board as associate editor. Rachel "Yeah, I'd hook up with Val for money" Rubenson will be leaving her post in news and her "journalistic responsibilities" in sports to work with fellow New Hampshirite Kinlaw as associate editor. She hopes to work with Russell to form a partnership between the Daily and Green Mountain Coffee.
Leaving the Daily as editorial page editor, Brooke "Snoopy, come home" Menschel will be truly missed, as she parts for bigger and better and more Jewish things. Good luck next year as Hillel president.
In the news department, Mary Anne "I can put Jacob in his place" Anderson will come over from features to take the reins as Matthew "Lousy whore" Kane takes off for Belgium. Anderson will be joined as a full editor by Nick "the Mexican Kinlaw" Ferre, who is stoked to teach grassroots journalism while meeting the 10 p.m. news deadline. Staying on as assistants are Lauren "I like arguing with MANE" Phillips and Paloma "Why won't Matt Kane leave me alone?" Cataife. Jacob "I like long walks on the beach" Silberberg returns from a semester abroad in Chile to take on the role of news assistant. Joining him will be Emily "I like to guide tours" Chasan and Adam "Get me away from Online and Josh Belkin" Cooper. Kane will continue to cover TCU Senate meetings from Brussels using video conference equipment, and Jeff "Anything oral..." Gelinas will take over as the department's Parisian correspondent.
In features, Laurie "I bring sex to the features department" Johnson and Joe "How do I have three editing nights with Matt Kane" Welch will continue to bring you hardcore investigations of sex and dating on campus. Joining them will be assistant editors Laura "Writing about sex is more fun than reading the opinions of Jesse Levey" Israel and Amanda "Manderina" Mu?±oz.
The men of the Daily are anxiously awaiting the return of Leigh "Is my Bub still here?" Wald from France, as she comes back to the Viewpoints department. Ilene "No more Russian-Slavic living" Stein will serve as Wald's co-editor. Viewpoints is bidding farewell to Dena "Get me out of here" Sloan, but Danny "Sorry, I was busy pledging" Adam will stay on as Viewpoints assistant.
Sports will be the largest and most alcoholic department next semester, though Ferre will single-handedly tip the balance to News. The Sports department will be doubling in size thanks to the return of its former editors from abroad, and Neil "Hold on, let me ask my girlfriend" Taylor will cede control of the department to Neal "#11" McMahon-Shapiro. Erin "I like writing about players and dating players" Desmarais and Jon "Varsity athlete in two countries" Japha will also return, but sadly, Val will not be here to enjoy his return. Dan "The People's Choice" Fowler will continue to analogize sports losses to historical tragedies, and Matt "Hip-flask" Bennett has pledged to put more effort into sports now that he is disease-free. Assisting the seven editors will be Manali "Hold on, let me check my buddy list" Shah, who shares Desmarais' journalistic style.
Arts thinks it will be the coolest department next semester. Good luck without Caroline "Traveling lush" Wolter and Alison "Sex in the City" Damast, who are leaving for big bad NY City. But rest assured, Arts will still forget who is supposed to edit the page each day. Drew "Red pants are sexy" Shelton will stay on as full editor so he can continue to receive promotional underwear. Rob "Pimps a" Lott is coming back from London and will put the cool quotient back into the department
Also continuing as full editors are Kristen "Don't ever call me Kenipple" Keneipp, Rob "Dining Services pimp" Bellinger, and Sheryl "Mix tapes are cool" Gordon. And while Marci' "Speedreader" Ferraro provides (wo)man-power as assistant editor, arts will continue to refuse to go double.
Always conscientious, the photography department has learned to take "live" photos of bare, intertwined legs. Staying on as full editors are Justin "I'm ghetto" Golub, Chlo?© "only I can pronounce liasOn" Sallin, Brad "Laid-back" Stitchberry, and Trevor "Dude, where's my car?" Harris. Eva "Espana esucks" Rebek returns as assistant editor along with Marie "What's your F/Stop" Lee.
After successfully transitioning to modularity, Quark, and a digital paper, the production department is looking forward to a calmer semester. Leading the way is Paula "I put Benny in his place" Romero, who plans on bringing her Chilean know-how to The Daily, completing the transformation to: El Daily-o,solamente en Espa?±ol. Paula will take over for Valentina "I've closed the EPDC" Clark as production director. The department will greatly miss Clark's sexual comments, and will also mourn the loss of production managers Sandy "Future Mix 98.5 dee-jay" and Michaela "I need a break" Vine. But all is not lost, and Jenny "Faaaaa-bulous" Ahn, Madelyn "Have sympathy for me, I live with Matt Kane" Medeiros are looking forward to more late nights as production managers. Moving up to layout editor are Jonathan "Only guy in production and loving it" Cohen, Lisa "It's an enye" De Elizalde, Mollie "Only female AEPi pledge" Greenfield, and Abby "Chica" Volin. Elaine "Associate editors are so fickle" Wang defected from the news department to help Romero whip exec into shape as layout assistant. She promises, however, to continue her weekly column, "Professors in the News." Sparring with Benny over the finer points of grammar will be copy editors Melissa "Not even if Matt Kane were the last guy on earth" Landrey, Lisa "Coom is roblem" Cooms, and Dave "Abercrombie" Perkiss. Graphics editor Brad "Wait, we have meetings?" Callow returns. Karen "1-2-3" Forseter, Adam "I'd like to split Ehren Brav's infinitive" Dobson, and Ann "Why do I deal with Craig" McGinnis are leaving.
Keeping up with the Daily's efforts to stay at the forefront of technology, an Information Technology department has been created for the fall. Gloria "Benny likes me" Chen is moving up to Online Editor. She will be joined by Josh "Can we write an article about snow removal?" Belkin, provided he has enough time in his busy schedule of sucking up to Eric Greenberg and watching The Simpsons. Fred "Where are the clipboards?" Liu will stay on as assistant to help Online continue the progress it made this year. Online will be mourning the loss of senior Meryl "Benny, shut up" Hertz, but Hertz will leave her wisdom behind in the form of her 23,465 page online thesis... I mean manual. Seth "Let's play a game" Kaufman will continue to fix late-night network disasters in his capacity as Systems Manager.
Meanwhile, the business department announced at Friday's elections that it will in fact exist next semester. Dave "CFS hotshot" Lattanzi will continue his role as executive business director. Rachel "Shalom" Finklestein will double-team as both business and receivables manager while Stefan "Did you know the president of Indonesia falls asleep when he's talking?" Lukac returns as advertising manager. Victoria "Sendables" Luxardo takes over from Eric "They really are letting me graduate?" Siwy.
