sure that The Print comes out
every week and is a worth
publication.
This year’s editor-in-chief,
Rick Obritschkewitsch, said
that his job requires an
understanding person who can
deal with people. Also re­
quired, he said, is a good
knowledge of journalism, abili­
ty to withstand pressure, and
plenty of time to spend working
on the paper.
Obritschkewitsch said,
“The editor keeps The Print
from becoming a ‘PR sheet.’
I’ve gained a better overall view
of what journalism is all about.
It’s improved my diplomatic
ability too,” he commented.

Editor, Thomas Rhodes, said
being editor of the campus art
magazine allows you to be
creative with graphic designs.
“I was pretty much left alone to
do what I wanted’, tq do,” he
added, referring to restraints by
the student publications ad­
visor, Dana Spielmann.
“You learn to deal with
people in difficult situations. It’s
really tough to reason with an
artist whose poem you have to
cut lines out of,” Rhodes said.
The financially rewarding
