This year has been no exception. Beginning in September with a fledgling editor and a dearth of experienced staff, the paper seemed destined to a shaky beginning and an uncertain future. Yet miraculously the Trib began to appear regularly on campus. Somehow enough stories were written and enough photos wen1 taken to fill up the pages, and the Trib persisted. W hile the contributions of scores of writers, photographers and artists helped make the Trib what it was this year, I'd like to take up a few precious copy inches to thank the members of the editorial staff. Without their commit ment and late nights, nothing could ever have come together. Heather Clancy (Assistant Editor) An absolute godsend. Calm, cool, and com mitted. Without her, drama reviews would have been scarce and page numbers, staff lists and photo credits non-existent. Was also, incidentally an invaluable link with the Daily. Michèle Dupuis (News Editor) Also known as demi-goddess of the deadline and tireless defender of the short paragraph. Singlehandedly recruited and trained a fleet of top-flight newswriters. (Who else would have known that ). Mori would learn to live and breathe PGSS?) Chris Flanagan (Sports Editor) Slasher of sports manifestos and heir to the Chair. Authoritative yet unassuming, determined yet not obsessive, Chris has given a new meaning to the concept of vagabond environmentalist style. Good luck in September, Chris. Jacket and tie de rigeur. Ezra Greenberg -- Photo Editor and author of ezratorials unparalleled anywhere. W hile keeping abreast of world events, Ezra also found time to in vestigate issues close to all of us in memorable treatises on cafeteria litter and burgers on the Main. Hopes to continue his crusade in Washington next year. "Those people could use some good old fashioned decency and concern," he sd'd^ Jenny Henderson (Copy Editor) A late but much-needed addition to the staff. 11er long-suffering eyes and sense of structure saw to it that crimes of syntax were dealt with before publication. Highlight of the year: The Somerville Inci dent. Kate Morisset (Features Editqr) Halifax whiz-kid and organizational dynamo mo to mention a Wizard with the What's On). A reader of minds. Kate neser has to be told anything — it's "already been taken care o f," Tanya Van Valkenberg (Arts and Entertainment Editor) An official secondsemester addition to the staff, Tanya had been hanging around the office for y |p |. It was only a matter of time before we harnessed her creative energy to the wei!-oiled machine that is the entertainment section. Tanya: a veritable patron ol the arts.
