Rhodes to revamp ‘Rhapsody’
lObritschkewitsch takes Trint’ helm next fall
He said he wants to expand
into other kinds of writing
beyond his specialty, sports
writing. “As sports editor, I had
to spend most of my timé
writing sports stories, and I felt
kind of restricted.”
Insults help
pleasant year
for Rhodes
I By Mike Rose

I It’s been a mixture of regrets
I and triumphs, gains and losses
for Print Editor-in-Chief
Thomas A. Rhodes. Rhodes is
retiring from the position at the
end of spring term, and moving
on to edit “Feature” magazine
next year.
“The Print” has improved in
its layout and on the editorial
page this year, according to
Rhodes. “Last year, we often
took blind shots in our
editorials. This year, we have
attacked in a more intelligent
fashion,” he said.
“It was a kick when I did thé
‘Edge of Max’ editorial,”
Rhodes said. “It was a solid kill.
In doing my editorials, I insult
enormous numbers of people, I
get to run off at the mouth, and
I promote my opinions. It’s the
most enjoyable part of my job,”
he said.
“Threats to cut our budget
come on a yearly basis,”
Rhodes added. ASG members
have complained that they
have not gotten enough news
coverage, for example. “Dur­
ing the first term, we were
under tremendous pressure
from ASG,” Rhodes said.
I “This
year’s
secretary
[threatened to cut our budget
last year because we were not
[being kind to ASG.”
I Rhodes says he has gained a
[lot of experience in working
[with people in addition to ex­
perience in writing and layout,
fl don’t lose my temper any
[more. 1 can take shouting in­
suits like, ‘You’re going to
burn; you’re not making us
[happy; we’re going to cut your
pudget.’ Instead of losing my
temper, I just say, ‘Oh, I’m very
Sony’.”
Left—What me worry?—Rick Obritschkewitsch will take over the editor-and-chief
position next fall. Right—Tom Rhodes will mend his coffee ulcers as next fall’s ‘Rhap­
sody’ magazine editor.
Rhodes added, “One. of my
reporters said that J was a fairly
shy person when I started out.
Now, I never shut up and I in­
sult everyone.”
“The Print” exists to promote
the College and inform
students, but it is mainly a lear­
ning experience, according to
Rhodes. “We tended to bloat
coverage in some departments
and ignore others. Unfor­
tunately, because of our small
staff size, we can’t cover
everything that happens on
campus,” he added.
Rick Obritschkewitsch, the
incoming editor, will bring “a
calmer tone to the paper,”
Rhodes predicted.
As editor of “Feature”
magazine, the campus literary
and arts publication, Rhodes
plans, first, to change the title.
“ ‘Feature’ is a very ambiguous
title,” he said. He is con­
templating the name, “Rhap­
sody,” which he believes car­
ries a “moré" artistic ring.
‘Feature’
could
anything,” he added.
New editor
mellow fellow
By Mike Rose
Of The Print
A two-fisted, cigarette suck­
ing, coffee slugging, pale,
bespectacled beast with five
ulcers. He’s loud, swears a lot,
and likes to hang around in
stuffy, brightly lit rooms,-filled
with clanking typewriters, ring­
ing phones and people who
run around shouting, “Stop the
presses!”,
Rick Obritschkewitsch
doesn’t fit the stereotype of a
newspaper editor, but he has
been chosen to be the 1981-82
editor-in-chief of “The Print.”
He will take over the position
fall term.
Obritschkewitsch tends to be
low key, doesn’t touch cigaret­
tes and drinks only moderate
amounts of black coffee. He
does wear glasses, swears only
on special occasions, and will
probably have ulcers by the
end of next year.
He spends a lot of time in the
publications trailer sitting in

Rhodes would also like to
see a stronger driving force in
the magazine. “If a magazine
has a goal or purpose, people
will pick it up quicker than an
art magazine that just lays
there,” he said.

front of a typewriter. His byline
can be seen plastered all over
“The Print.” Currently, he is
the sports editor, and has writ­
ten the majority of sports news
this year.
“Rick has a hell of a lot more
experience than I had when I
took the job,” said current Print
editor Thomas Rhodes, who
will turn the helm over to
Obritschkewitsch at the end of
spring term. Obritschkewitsch
planned to apply for news
editor next year, but was en­
couraged by Print staff
members to go after the editor-
in-chief spot.
No major changes will be
made in the operations or ap­
pearances of “The Print.” “I
think Tom Rhodes did a great
job as editor. He will be a tough
act to follow,” Obritschkewitsch
commented. His goal is. to
makè sure all the departménts
atz the College receive fair
coverage. Some departments
were covered extensively this
year, while others were ig­
nored, Obritschkéwitsch said.
Thè incoming editor hopes
“The Print”, will have a larger
staff next fall. Coverage of
campus news could be increas­
ed with a larger staff, he said.
More communication with staff
members and assistance for
new writers are other goals he
is promoting. “I think that a lot
of people at the beginning of
this year got discouraged and
quit because they did not get
adequate help and support
from their page editors and
other staff,” Obritschkewitsch
said.
