Editor's Corner
by Megan Besset and Jamie Stark
In the field of high school newspaper editing, there are two types of editors. Those who wish to attend UW-Madison, and those who want to go to the University of Minnesota. These are their stories:
Jamie: I just sent in my application to Madison.
Megan: Did you have fun writing those essays? I didn’t have to write on my Minnesota application.
Jamie: Ha ha ha! Shut it. Did you have fun breaking the “7” ACT barrier for entrance? I heard they gave the test to a monkey and it got a seven and attended Minnesota.
Megan: You wouldn’t know admission standards if they slapped you in the face!
Jamie: Come on, Meggerz, are you really gonna’ root for the Gophers? Everyone knows the Badgers are the world’s greatest burrowing rodents.
Megan: Have you seen those Minnesota hockey players?
Jamie: Bunch of Canadians.
Megan: Whatever. Twin Cities has two cities. You only have one.
Jamie: Yeah, but Mad-town is way closer to Chicago. Minnesota can’t even see it.
Megan: Well, Minnesota doesn’t have a sales tax and they have the Mall of America. Do your malls in Madison have roller coasters inside of them? I think not.
Mrs. Kreuser (James and Meggerz’ BFF): OH, SNAP!
Jamie: I have nothing to say to you. Why don’t you go be a huge brain drain and take your intelligence to a neighboring state?
Megan: We’re through, Jamie.
Jamie: HA! Madison gets the last laugh!
Megan: Nope.
Jamie: Son of a gopher!
