Memo: Shaking off summer’s malaise

Summer is always an excellent period for critical mulling, a hiatus from the cacophony of campus during which to take stock of what works and what’s simply run its course. The humidity seems like it’s here to stay for a bit, but you could say it’s a new season of the Weekly, literally and figuratively. We couldn’t get enough of spring assistant Weekly editor Emmy Blotnick’s witticisms and pop culture prowess in the newsroom, so we’ve got her on board as our first-ever columnist this quarter. She’ll be lending some context (and comedic value, I suspect) to our gamut of cover stories. Which brings me to another new addition: Week by Weekly, our whittled-down what to do from next door (the Block’s new Robert Motherwell exhibit) to deliciously nefarious mayhem downtown at this year’s Oktoberfest. We surely won’t be skimping on any debauchery this year, but our debut of Post-Grad Pursuit chronicles the trajectories of former Wildcats as they stake claim – and sometimes stumble – in that nebulous realm of the real world. Last but certainly not least, our superb cover story this week by Sara Peck explores the repercussions and ethical qualms of relationships on the job in the faux real worlds of internships many of us occupy for summers or quarters of our college lives.
