I know you are expecting about 250 words welcoming you back and wishing you good luck for this semster… not going to happen. I love you Panthers, but we have a problem. This summer, like many of you I was drawn into the vortex of www.thefacebook.com, and while browsing through the groups I ran across one entitled “20 Questions: the ONLY reason I pick up The Panther.” As of today this group has 362 members. In fact it is one of the biggest groups on Facebook.
Now I know many of my peers do not understand how many hours it takes to put the paper together, so let me enlighten you. Writers are assigned stories on Mondays that are due by Friday. Once Friday afternoon hits section editors and myself begin the process of copy editing and page layout. Our main production night (Tuesdays), can sometimes drag on until 3 a.m. on a Wednesday morning.
