WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Jennifer Kreitz gets a prize for the best (and only) response to last week's trivia question, "Who's Your Daddy?": My new daddy is Don Smith, an instructor here at Columbia College in the Film/Video Department. He's rny fab ulous advisor and he's taught about fo llr of my last film Cl asses. Most importantly, he just hooked up an editing job for me, which excites me to no end1 And he always wears cozy sweaters.

Congratulations, Jennifer!
