Leah Krauss - Editor-In-Chief

Here's Leah in a nutshell: One time while driving to a miniature golf course in Rockville, one of her friends mentioned he should stop by the driving range too, because he had his golf clubs in the trunk already. Another of her friends said, "Way to be prepared." Leah said, "Way to be a yuppie."

It's that kind of acrid sarcasm that has endeared our lovely editor-in-chief to pretty much no one, except others with the same biting sense of humor. But that's okay, because a lot of people who don't know her very well think she's nice.

Other than making jokes at other people's expense, Leah enjoys music, cartoons, video games, learning new languages, and writing. She's a senior print journalism major. And no, she's not named after the princess in Star Wars.

Lauren Squires - Features Editor

The enigmatic "Squires" is a senior at our fair university, increasingly anxious about her majors in Communication and Philosophy--the potential interface of which may best be summed by one of her former co-workers who snipped: "If Kant were alive, you could write his press releases." Quick thinkin', Ace. Her family having traded the Town of Brad Pitt (Springfield, MO) for the Town of Dave Matthews (Charlottesville, VA) after high school, Squires has felt nomadic for some years now. This penchant for wandering has been indulged by AU's esteemed World Capitals program (Viva l'Italia!), her sister's two-year stint in Hawai'i, and America's extensive Interstate Highway system (Thanks, Ike). When not studying, traveling, or mocking others, Squires perfects the art of tap dance with her DC-based company, Tappening, and shakes her ass at lots of rock-concert-type-things.

Lauren Burgoon - Commentary Editor

World travelin' Lauren Burgoon likes to pretend she's cool and leads a very back-to-nature lifestyle because she's been to Africa twice (c'mon, how many of you can say that?). Burgoon, as she's called in certain social circles, dreams of being a "muckraking bastard," ala Bob Woodward, preferably in a foreign country. A condescending tone and a sarcastic comment are never far from reach for this journalistic whiz kid.

She is a senior journalism major; she's ashamed to be grouped with the lazy seniors that still have two gen ed requirements to fulfill before graduation.

Burgoon wiles away her time listening to 70s music, drinking Diet Raspberry Snapple, and creating a plan for the eventual eradication of those freaky dashboard dogs with heads that bobble and for people that call soda "pop."
