We need volunteers to assist us in keeping the student body informed through our newspaper. Experience isn¡¯t absolutely necessary, but writing and typing skills are in great demand. We need people to rewrite articles, type, and proof-read. We could also use a good photographer. Although many of our staff members are journalism majors, we also have several engineers and a pre-law student working for us. Since The Voice comes out five days a week, we need excellent students who know how to budget their time efficiently. Good grades are a prerequisite for working on the paper. There is some money for salaries depending on how involved you get with the paper, but don¡¯t expect to get rich. This isn¡¯t something you do for the money. Mostly it¡¯s just for fun. Anyone who is interested in joining the staff should speak to me immediately after this meeting. Be prepared to start right away. The first issue goes to press tomorrow.
