The tv;o have begun planning for the 2005-06 school year. Tombe. At the time he “thought it would be fun for a term or two.” “But you got sucked in!” laughed Maras. Maras worked as a staff writ er and production assistant for his first term with the paper, then became the editor for the Commentary section for the remainder of the year. This year, Maras has contin ued to hold an upper position, as editor of the News section, which he holds as a valuable experience. Tombe began as a produc tion. assistant for a term last year, then moved up to be Copy Editor during this school year, as well as writing a student favorite, the horoscopes found at on the back page of The Print. , “Of course, [I’ve been] ‘Master of the Stars,’ perhaps the most satisfying role on the newspaper staff,” laughed Tombe. The two editors are glad to share their new job as Co- Editors-in-Chief. “I’ve realized it’s a really good idea to do this,?’ said Maras. “I think we’ll make a good team.” Tombe agreed. “I thought that was the best way to go,” he said, “because starting with a new staff, things are going to be out of hand and two heads are better than one. I think Ben and I can work off of each others’ strengths.” The two editors will be able to work together well. “I think Janies has very, very good organizational skills,” said Maras. Tombe relies on the fact that Maras was able to take on the difficult job of News Editor this year. “As News Editor, I know Ben can take on a lot of stress,” said Tombe. “I think he’s got experi ence and a good work ethic; he knows what has to be done and he’ll grudgingly do it.” Right now, the two are tying up loose ends and working on choosing a new editorial staff for next year. The task is a daunting one, as only one of the current editors will be returning. They are-also trying to work out a way to be more involved and work more closely with next year’s new writers. “I’d like to involve the writ ers more in the process so that they feel they have a stake in the paper we put out,” said Tombe. Tombe and Maras are look ing forward to this coming fall. “I think it will be a nice thing for both of us,” said Maras. “We’ve had all these ideas the whole time. We’ve seen the way things work and been able to say, ‘You know, it would be bet ter if we did it this way,’ and I think it will be nice to put some of that in action.” The editors encourage any one interested to come out and join The Print. “[Writing for the paper,] you’ll find yourself in a unique position to be the voice of the college,” said Tombe. “I think it’s a great experi ence to have at least once. It’s a very unusual environment,” said Maras. “If there’s one thing I’ve gained from my work here it’s a complete disregard for my own sanity.” SG plans to create club council Inter-Club council from Palomar College; we are thinking about revising it to make it work for our l Clackamas Print school.” There are six sections to Palomar Associated Student Government College’s constitution: purpose, mem the planning stages of develop- bership, disciplinary action, officers, i campus “Club Council,” an idea associated duties, and general rules. would send representatives from ASG is refusing to comment on the campus club .to a meeting on a forecast Club Council at this time, lar basis. so there is no certainty as to what f an e-mail that ASG Vice will be adopted or modified from the ident Elect Tiffany Williamson Palomar College Inter-Club Council Constitution.
