Editorial Assistant
Selections for the Communications Department’s student staff positions for the fall semester have been announced. Senior Andrew Alekel will serve as the 1995-96 program director for KULV, junior Rosie Sinapi will be the fall editor of La Verne Magazine and sophomore Amy Borer will be the fall editor of the Campus Times.
Junior Alison Phanco, the current KULV program director, is happy to pass the position over to Alekel.
“He’s definitely capable of the position,” said Phanco. “He’ll do a good job.”
Alekel has worked very closely with Phanco and brings with him the experience of being music director, his knowledge of the music industry and his dedication.
“He isn’t afraid of working long hours. It’s important in this position,” said Phanco.
“I am really excited, my work has paid off,” said Alekel. “I hope I can keep the standards that Alison has set and have everybody work hard while still having a good time.”
Alekel said he would like to give the station an image and have people identify with KULV radio.
“I want people to know they’re listening to KULV,” said Alekel.
Sinapi will leave the Campus Times office only to be taking the reins at the La Verne Magazine.
“I’m very excited,” said Sinapi.
She believes that although she has never been on the magazine staff, her experience as editor in chief on the Campus Times will help to make the transition to the school magazine an easy one. She looks forward to incorporating new ideas and gaining a broader knowledge of magazine production.
“I couldn’t experiment much. on the newspaper, but on the magazine it is much more possible,” said Sinapi. “I look forward to incorporating some news into the magazine, as well as maybe an investigative piece.”
Taking over the position of editor in chief of the school newspaper is Borer, the current editorial director.
“She’ll bring both experience and leadership [to the paper],” said Eric Bishop, Campus Times adviser. “She’s a solid writer and editor.”
Bishop said that it was not a tough decision, naming Borer for the position. There is no way to prepare for or to learn when becoming an editor. According to Bishop, she was a natural choice.
Borer believes that her predecessors have had strong leadership while being an editor on the paper and she hopes to carry on that tradition.
“I want to continue what we’ve been doing. We’ve had strong leadership and that makes a strong paper,” said Borer.
