And now a few words from…

Our office is infested with mosquitoes. Even now, the assistant editor is climbing on our unstable furniture, trying to get one. She is scared of heights and can’t come down. We do a lot of silly things down here in our crowded, multicolored hole. We have a stereo with one working speaker that plays tapes, but doesn’t pick up radio stations. We’re too far under for that. Sometimes, we prank call the Lynx office, and a certain ex-Sou’wester editor keeps submitting obscene art to us. We are very happy down here. We are obstinate, cranky, and strung out, and sometimes we fight, but after a few minutes we love each other again. I could say that it’s because we share a dream to make a perfect magazine, allusive yet elusive, a quest for site, sight, insight, and incitement, but I am not that unbearably cheesy. If nothing else, it’s because we are all pretty weird and enjoy each other’s company, and because we all like coffee. After three weeks of intense work, we are virtually comatose. Bueller?

-Christina Huntington, co-editor

Are we in charge? We’re supposed to be in charge. When I ask myself in charge of what I answer The Review. To us The Review is a synonym for this book you are now holding, and other things: the Valentine’s Love Prom with its boundless (if unappreciated) gleeful irony; an office that provokes with turquoise, pink, green, and grape walls; procrastination and hard work; a staff with various aesthetic orientations, work habits, caffeine and nicotine addictions, levels of comprehension of our Big Idea, and commitment to that Big Idea. The Big Idea is something silly and monumental like: to enhance and nurture a spirit of self-expression and self-exploration in the Rhodes College community. But really, we all just think creative stuff is cool. If you have compliments, call us. If you have complaints, don’t.
