That's the news, and we are out of here. Tomorrow night, the DP will inaugurate its 111th Board of Managers and Editors in pomp, circumstance and revelry, retiring current board members to civilian life and marking yet another year in the life of one of the University's longest running traditions. As an independent newspaper with no financial ties to the administration, the DP's perennial goal is to be the advocate for the entire University community -- to insure that whatever happens on campus does not happen in secret. Among the traditions passed from board to board are persistence, accuracy, belligerence and a fervent mistrust of anything done to students without their knowing about it. The 111th Board members were elected to their positions by the outgoing board last fall. Leading the 21-member board will be College junior Charlie Ornstein, who hails from Farmington Hills, Mich. Ornstein, described as "intelligent," "determined," and "nerdy," carries to his position two semesters of reporting and two semesters of editing experience. As executive editor, Ornstein will serve as president andCEO of the corporation and has final authority for all business and news decisions. "I hope to report the news as clearly and objectively as possible, and to provide a forum for discussion on campus," Ornstein said.
