and so it begins
Jun. 12th, 2005 12:16 pmDo you know why I'm not even a mild shade of worried about this new Student Government-backed, (and funded! Through our tuition money! Wonder if any students were consulted...) College of Journalism-equipped glorified newsletter of a newspaper insert in the Gainesville Sun that will be "debated" in Student Senate this week? Because many student newspapers with a lot more merit than the potential I see in that rag have come through this city, yet we're the only ones about to celebrate our 100th anniversary next year. Bet your sweet ass we'll cover the A&S Fee allocations, the readership numbers, the nature of the advertising that goes into it, the opinions of the journalism professors though.
Honestly, the Sun barely has staff enough for the real news and just doesn't have the editors to devote to this venture, and most of what comes out of the journalism college is little more than capable of stringing a sentence together and a damn far cry from journalists. However, that does bring up the interesting prospect that the Jschoolers will finally get up off their complacent laurels to find the kids they're putting out into the world without our help are, at best, marginally qualified.
In any event, my point is that if war is what the failed mayoral/commission candidate who feels jilted and the Student Body President who hasn't done a single honorable thing since getting into office and has gotten the corresponding press coverage in the Alligator want, then we can bring it.
