Sams Commentary Meet the New Boss ... Same as the Old Boss? by Alex Esmon Managing Editor It's amazing how quickly a year can pass. Twelve months ago, I took over the position of Features Editor from the two year incumbent, Phoebe Esmon, and now as I look at the end of this academic year, so do I look at the end of my reign as Features Editor. The time has flown. As I look to the end I also see the person who will replace me, a change many of you will see as a blessing. Holly Rhodarmer, a woman you have read countless stories by, will replace me as head Features Editor, effec- Alex Esmon tive immediately upon completion of this issue. Sayonara, fair readers. So as a good-bye to my staff and as a welcome to the new editor, I will pass on a few words of wisdom that are guaranteed not to help with a damn thing in your life, because chances are you' 11 have to learn these lessons by yourself. Some things just can't be taught. I remember when I was promoted from staff writer to section editor. The jump was big. The movie guy was moving up to the role of section editor. The world was a happy place. Then I realized just what it meant to be a section editor. First there are the deadlines. Some staff writers seem to think these are something abstract or per haps elastic, pliable and changing with the time. I learned quickly that five o'clock on Monday really means eight o'clock or maybe even three o'clock on Tuesday. I learned that on-time can be a very untimely thing. I also learned to keep my phone free on the weekend for that impending call from a staff writer who was calling to tell me that something just wasn't going to get done. I learned to accept these after four or five months. Then there were the nights when I sat at my desk pondering what to assign for the next week. Who should write about the new play? Who will cover the festival in Waynesville? Who can I get to write movie reviews because I'm burned out? Which leads to my next point. The hardest thing I ever did was to let go of the weekly movie review. Sure I've done the occasional fill- in article this semester, but for all intents and purposes, I'm not the Movie Guy anymore. I passed the torch, handed off the baton, how ever you want to see it. And to be honest I miss the weekly grind, slamming bad films and praising the good ones. But I will say this: 1 don't regret my decision. Then there are the late nights spent cranking out the final product. Trust me, the first couple are fun; sort of like summer camp slumber parties. But then you begin to dread the days when you know that no matter how hard you try, you will not be in bed before four in the morning. In the end, you have to make a decision: Either you put up with the excessive pressures on your time or you quit. It's simple. You either get to where you love the work or you will be miserable. That being said, there is no better job on this campus than being a section editor at the campus newspaper. You know what's going on, your finger is on the pulse of the school. When someone is fired, you know about it first. When a new production is being put on, you see it first. When things are happening on campus that have the potential to change the very face of the school, you have the chance to tell people, through the power of print, what it could mean to them and how it could affect them. The demands are great, but the rewards are greater. The satisfaction that comes with a product that you know thousands of people are using and learning from is astounding. So to Holly, I say good luck and the section is yours. Twist it around, flip it on its head, and make it your own. The reigns are yours. Guide the horses with care. To the staff or the features section I say congratulations. You deserve a medal for putting up with my demands. Just understand that no one could be as proud of you as I am. You have helped to put forth a section anyone would be proud to call their own. Holly is lucky to have you on her side. Meet the new boss. I doubt she'll be anything like the old boss. So now what do I do? I'm a displaced movie critic who needs a job. Maybe I'll give that Managing Editor thing a shot. Seth's done a wonderful job in the capacity, but now that he's been promoted...
