[Redshift] Shifting Into Gear

[Frank Riccobono]

Greetings Members of Red Shift,

On Monday, we your newly re-elected E-Board, held our first meeting 
regarding the upcoming edition of Red Shift.  Many things were discussed 
which will be brought up at our next meeting.  Which brings me to my 
first real point: there will be a general body meeting on *Monday, 
September 24th*.  The meeting is scheduled to start at 8:32 PM (Red 
Shift traditionally tries to pick unique starting times for all of its 
events).  If you have evening classes, or choir, or anything else like 
that preventing you from coming that early, please don't worry about 
it.  The purpose of starting the meeting before 9:00 PM is to allow 
those that have other RSO commitments to come say hello and hear what we 
have to say before going elsewhere.  You will in no way be penalized or 
chastised for arriving at 9:00.  However, if you are going to be late 
for the 9:00 start time and you would like to make sure the meeting does 
not end before you show up, please email us with your explanation and we 
will see what we can do.

Second order of business:  the time has come once again, to choose our 
Editorial Board.  Aside from simply pooling submissions, Red Shift needs 
your help inputting together the magazine.  Last semester we had three 
editors (one for art, one for prose, and one for poetry).  This year we 
would like to expand the editing process so that mounds of work aren't 
being piled upon only three people.  If you would like to become 
involved in the editing process in some way, please contact us.  We can 
definitely use your skills.  Likewise, this will be the first issue of 
Red Shift to print business ads. Don't worry we'll find a way to include 
them unobtrusively, but we need the ad revenue to help cover printing 
costs.  This means we are looking for a Publicity representative who 
will try to sell ads to various businesses.  If you think you would make 
a good ad salesperson, please contact us.  Finally, we have also started 
discussions about bringing some uniformity to the design of Red Shift.  
If you have an artistic eye or any experience with magazine layout, we 
can definitely use your help.  Once again, if you're interested, please 
contact us.

I believe that's all for now.  There will be more announcements at next 
Monday's meeting.  Oh, there is one more thing.  I don't think this 
necessarily has to be said, but we are officially open for submission.  
Please email all submissions to redshift at stevens.edu.  If your 
submission is not in a digital medium, please contact us at that same 
address and we will try to arrange something.

This time I really think that is everything.  I hope you have a pleasant 
week.  See you on Monday.
