my building is being completely changed around, and i see the beginning of the inevitable struggle between smc student publications.
bergeron's getting completely revamped. the lab for the online publication and 105 have become one room, and all of the pcs are in the defender lab. there's been talk of the defender and online publication sharing the same lab space so the other lab room can become an electronic classroom or whatnot, but it appears to be happening.
this is a bad idea.
there is already enough tension between the publications, and sharing lab space will make things really, really bad. there is going to be bickering over computers, the fear of not being able to speak freely in the room...it's ludicrous to expect two publications to share one space and feel comfortable enough to be as vocal as if one had a room for each publication. it's going to be a huge mess.
yet another example of how things are getting messed up just as i get ready to take the helm of the defender...i swear the journalism department is doing everything in its power to make things difficult for me! i'm tempted to speak up and at least make sure the department knows i'm going nuts here...first the stipend being taken away, then the internship saga, and now this...
i want to be the exec ed. i've wanted to be exec ed of the defender since my freshman year. i wanted to be exec ed of my college publication since i was in junior high. but they are making it increasingly difficult for me to want to be exec ed now that i'm in place to be exec ed.
as i head to the library, i make this prediction:
*vickie settles into chair*
kathy: vickie, since you're only here for an hour, how about we have you do some shelf reading?
why do i make this prediction? because i've doen shelf reading for every tuesday i've been there. let me tell you that shelf reading is one thing that i will most certainly NOT miss when i'm gone.
