DAILY HERESYIn brief: Media, Jews interconnected

The following from Abe Rakov, editor of the Daily:

So Saturday the 22nd is Yom Kippur. We aren't going to have training then anymore. Training will take place at NOON on Sunday the 23rd, which is our first day of work. Please be here by noon so we can get started on time since we have to put out a large paper that day. The training should go from 12-1, then desk meetings from 1-2 (no desk meetings on Saturday anymore). And then the day will go like a normal work day.

Granted, Yom Kippur is a high holiday. But for all you Christians out there, aren't all Sundays holy? And who knew it required training to work at the Daily?

Certainly not the readers.

THE DINOSAURBriefly: City editor remains outstanding

E-mails went out over the Daily Northwestern listservs this morning announcing EIC Abe Rakov is once again taking applications for city editor. I guess he stopped at some point?

Anyways. We are just 25 days away from the purple lady's first issue of the 2007-2008 academic year, and there remains a gaping hole in the masthead. Why is that, dear readers?
