Clackamas Print News Editor Ben Maras and Copy Editor James Tombe were recently named Co-
Editors-in-Chief of next fall’s newspaper staff. 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.”
