[Redshift] Status of the Magazine

[Frank Riccobono]

Dear everybody,
 
Thank you for a wonderful semester!  From our contributers to our 
editing staff, everyone gave spectacular work to Red Shift this semester 
and I'm already making plans for next semester that include joining our 
techie side with our artsy side to develop into a tight knit creative 
community.  But before we make plans about next semester, I know you're 
all curious about where this semester's magazine is. 
 
There was a miscommunication between us and the printer we're using.  
They requested we upload a verision of the magazine that had margins 
their machine could print out on but that message got lost through the 
channels of communication.  Our faculty advisor, Erin Selby of Student 
Life, has been wonderful in helping us straighten this snag out.  By the 
end of the day the new version of the magazine should be sent to them 
and depending on postage things the magazine could possibly be on campus 
by next week. 
 
I wanted everyone to have the magazine ready for you to bring home for 
Christmas, but unfortunatley you're going to have to tell grandma to 
wait until spring semester starts.  But let me say that the magazine 
looks beautiful and really accents all the wonderful art and writing 
pieces we received.  We were able to include many more pieces than we 
were last year and the variety and quality of work is something I'm very 
very proud of.
 
We're going to start off the spring semester running.  The e-board and I 
have some great ideas that we'll start working out as soon as everyone 
finishes finals.  In the meantime, feel free to e-mail us with questions 
or suggestions.  Also, I'd like us to start using the forums on our 
website ( www.stevens.edu/redshift <http://www.stevens.edu/redshift>) so 
communication doesn't consist soely of us sending all of your e-mails. 
 
Enjoy your holidays, everyone, and don't forget to rest up your muses 
for the new year!
