Owl daybook

Owl staffers can find the most up-to-date discussion of Owl doings, bulletin board style, at this link. The newest stuff is first; as you scroll down you’ll get the oldies-but-goodies in order. See also the staff bulletin board on The Owl’s Web site, http://clubs.pgcc.edu/theowl/

For Owl staffers who are paying attention during the summer of ’07: our first issue will be dated Wednesday, Sept. 12. You know what that means: the paper goes to press the previous Friday, Sept. 7. Articles that appear in that issue need to be finished by Wednesday, Sept. 5 AT THE LATEST – preferably earlier. So we really need to start working on articles earlier than the first day of classes – Monday, Aug. 27.

What’s to write about?

Bladen Hall, at long last, is finished, and many functions that were in the temporary buildings are back in their new digs in Bladen Hall. It looks great (and we need pictures). Will the temporaries go away now? Who can tell us what will happen to them?

The college’s new computer network is falling into place. A significant milestone was apparently reached in early July. What do students need to know about this? What’s new? What’s still to be done?

We have a new president, Dr. Dukes. What are her plans?

The college got a nice chunk of money from the county, for a change – more even than was requested. What differences will that make? Will tuition be reduced?

Our top fall sport is soccer, and PGCC often has nationally ranked soccer squads with no fans to watch. What’s with that?

We have a story working on the nearly finished high technology building, but need pictures to go with it.

Anybody got some time this summer to work on these stories?
