The Lifestyle Queen’s reign is over. This is my last issue as Lifestyles editor at the Alestle. No, I did not get fired. I've been attempting to tickle and tantalize the Alestle readership since mid-October of 1998.1 hope I've done at least an adequate job. It was my goal to cover underpublicized bands, interesting flicks and the everyday things to do when you’re bored out of your mind. I believe I met that goal. Don’t fret. I’m not going far — only to the news department. So while I won’t be bringing you “news of the weird” anymore, I’ll be bringing you “news of the weirder.” At these prices I will be the Alestle’s first assignment editor in the news section. Our headstrong editor in chief, John Klimut, is shaking the place up a bit. That's all right, though. He’s got some great ideas for the future of this newspaper. One of those visions is an assignment we don’t s editor. My job will be to funnel news in and out of the office, make sure reporters are doing what they’re supposed to do, especially meeting their deadlines. Danielle Stem will be the news editor, since Pat Ebers, our very own “News Bitch,” is leaving us. Danielle and I will be bringing you the news from now on and hopefully with a new level of continuity and a flair never before seen on this campus. I’m handing the reins over to Bridge« Brave, who will be your fearless Lifestyles editor. Trust me folks, this chick has the talent and the skills to provide you with a Maybe one day we will sell cars, food and everything else you need. But right now, it's great de dynamite Lifestyle section. Just watch. 1 to 3 days. Not that you would, but don't sweat using a credit card.
