As Editor-In-Chief of the Commentator for the 07-08 school year, I alone take responsibility for the summer issue missing the deadline of today. Everything was looking good and peachy for a 10 p.m. Internet release, until the OC summer staff was booted from the Erb Memorial Union by Mike, the EMU “security,” and Programs Coordinator Liora “Spunky” Sponko, about 19:00 Friday evening.

Apparently, we were there past summer hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and it was “a liability issue” for a few fee-paying (not to mention student-serving without pay) students to be in the building. Who knows what destruction we were to cause if allowed to remain in the building until 10 p.m. We are currently at Rennie’s cursing the ridiculousity that is campus bureaucracy.

 

Alas, I still take responsibility and apologize to the eager fans waiting for the summer issue. So here is a preview: The “When Keepin It Real Goes Wrong” Award goes to Ty Schwoefferman; the OC tears into Bellotti for not have a mustache; we stand against Canadian geese for pooping on our land; and, we call out Larry Craig for calling out “nasty, bad, naughty” boys. Plus, plenty of phalli (or phalluses) and a short recap of that last 25 years that was, is, and always will be, the Oregon Commentator.

Summer Issue will be online Monday at noon, on the dot, and delivered in print as fast as Western Oregon Press can get it to us. Back to the Booze is still on schedule. Sorry for any inconvenience.
