So we have a new president. I swear she could be coming off an armed robbery conviction and still be as well recieved.

I am working on the "Thames greatest hits" this week. If you are new to campus you might not know what the rest of us have been through. I remember several people mentioning in classes "What are these impeach thames stickers I see everywhere?"

I have seen several uniformed idiots comment in the local media about "lazy liberal professors". I can only assume they never went to school here or they graduated under McCain.

Either way, my article aims to educate.

The Student Printz is hiring for the position of Executive Editor.

Only two people have applied so far. So, please, I beg of you, either apply for the job or tell someone who you think would be good at it to do it.

This job is a tremendous resume builder and opens a lot of doors for you. The pay is OK, but the experience and the networking you get is monumental. Also, it makes it possible to skip one of the two internships a person typically needs to get hired these days.

Anyone from any discipline can apply - math majors, political science, dance, etc.

The deadline for application is April 11.

To apply you must submit to Dave Davies the following:

1. A resume
2. Three letters of recommendation
3. A formal letter of application
4. A statement of intent that outlines a) Your philosophy and goals for the paper b) A plan to carry out those goals c) An evaluation of the 2005-2006 Student Printz
5. A complete transcript of your college work

You also must have a minimum GPA of 2.5 and be a student at USM.

If you apply, you then must attend an interview in front of the publications board of USM on April 20.
