KATHERINE SPELLER - FEATURES EDITOR

Katherine Speller is a third-­year journalism major, bever-­age enthusiast and avid watcher of ‘90s dramadies. It’s her fourth semester working at The New Paltz Oracle and second semester running the Features section. Although the section may often be referred to as the illegitimate child of News and Arts, there is a wealth of intriguing and noteworthy stories waiting to be told. If you care about the stories carried around by the eclectic masses on our campus and want to stretch your feature-­writing funk muscles, this section may be for you. After all, Features is so hip it’s practically a pelvis.

MARIA JAYNE - NEWS EDITORMaria Jayne is a journalism and Women’s Studies major (only because they said she couldn’t be a raconteur). This is her second year on The New Paltz Oracle and it’s going to be the best. She would love to have you write for her section — which covers things like campus news, town and village affairs and local government. She is open to sugges-­tions and is willing to accept anything having to do with cats and their political stances. She may meow more than holding proper conversations, but if you have any questions she can lead you in the right direction.
