So this new staff of this old paper tells me they're work­ ing on J new reputation- new gra phics, new writers, new .tttilude. For those who are unaware of the "old" reputa­ tion, well, let's just say that the paper aspired to bu t ln reality was run by a Mussollni-type ,•dilor and looked more like a college newspaper that tripped along behind the Dartmouth Review. (But then, maybe it was ki nda like the New York Times.) Sn this new crew tells me (the old editor's nemesis) that they want a Mike Royko-type column to add to the makeover. (Is it more than skin deep?) Let's get this clear first and foremost: I don't want to be like Mike Royko. I don't li ke Mike Royko. I lis name invokes images of beer and cigJrs, you know, the old-boy network and oh yeah, that chuckle-with-a-pinch-type sexism. Besides, as far as "jJzzing things up" goes, Royko plays a slow clarinet. I screilm li ke a sax- like an irreverent feminist writer (got Hot jazz on a cool summer night. Columbia's own, William Russo conducts at that madill boys and material girls?) the 13th a nnual C hicago Jazz Festival, opening night, Thursday, August 29, 1991. And get this: I prefer hearing voices of the student body through v,•hicll-s that arc not of the est.lblishment.
