Editor-in-Chief
Amelia Mowl

Hailing from Indiana and an avid Laker fan, she took this job only so she could fire people. She also cracks jokes behind everyone’s back but the most important thing is that she doesn’t know what jokes are made behind her back. For those close to her, it’s no secret that she’s on a power trip…

Managing Editor
Melissa Malzhun

The Managing Editor who thinks everyone loves her when in fact they flock to her to play with her dog, Mojo. Drinks Mountain Dew to stay awake for her own staff meetings. Always in constant arguments over what editorializing means.

ed·i·to·ri·al·ize ( d -tôr - -l z , -t r -) intr.v.
1. To express an opinion in or as if in an editorial.
2. To present an opinion in the guise of an objective report.

Business Manager
Nancy McAnlis

Formerly the treasurer for the Class of '03, she now manages money for The Buff and Blue. What she doesnít know, weíve set up a high security camera zooming on her every move in the office. Every penny that comes in this office is wired even! Weíre spending a fortune but itís worth it.

Copy Editor
Anthony Mowl

The insecure younger brother who is still scarred from his childhood beatings by his older sister (who also happens to be the EIC). It’s no wonder he doesn’t show up for his office hours late. He likes Gallaudet and has an uncle.

Layout Editor
Sonia Pivac

A zesty and zealous New Zealander who gets irked when people think New Zealand is a country in Europe. She actually knows more than she lets on, and has exhibited extraordinary talent with sucking up to teachers. She hates finger spelling but knows how to spell S-A-R-C-A-S-M.

Photographer
Benjamin Lewis

He’s what you get when you cross caffeine and speed. Loves flying and traveling. Find him running around with Nikon 5700...not James Bond 007.

 

Event Director
Thea Cabral

Apart from strutting in her signature coat with the faux (we pray it isnít dead minks) fur, she gets on her knees andÖ paints. The Manus Girl, sheís our perfect step-in for Pearlene Jo. On her leisure time, she goes to church and confesses.

Archivist
Joy Maisel

You can say she found her cup of tea. The Archivist comes in, and we see progress at light-speed, and articles of all kinds come out. When she leaves this job, youíve been warned: sheíll be a walking encyclopedia on all the dirt that has happened on the Kendall Brown- oops- Green.

Writer
Noah Beckman

Hails from New Jersey and knows his state is not a garden but a dumpsite for NYC. He almost never says a word and doesn’t know what he likes but he writes, so we’ll say he likes to write. Oh, right, he’s only a freshman.

Office Assistant
Nicole Kraemer

Devoted to her sign, Cancer (stay away Leos), she’s always on the edge.

Senior Writer
Darlene Tropp



“Its T-R-O-P-P, not T-R-O-O-P,” says Darelne. She likes ferrets and hates people who spell her name wrong. Well-renowned for scaring freshmen with her bitchy attitude, she can be found taping people’s ankles really tight at the trainer’s room.

 

 

Writer
Rachel Burton

Manages to master the smoky-eyes-look well, and has no relations with the Burton Snowboard Company. A bit of a traitor, because she hangs out at Tower Clock office more often due to a certain ‘special someone.’ (Oh, they’re not together?)

Writer
Heather Cassinelli

Young. Brilliant. Ambitious. She's the next Hillary Clinton. Wait, she's not doing her autobiography anytime soon.

 

Jessica Graves

Our only sign that she's alive is the continuing beep we get from her Gallaudet email's automatic response system. Still, the budding journalist survived Myers. (Oh, the rest of us did too.)

 

Writer
Michael Higgins

Everyone knows he can kick some balls. He’s the most famous of us all as the leading star and scorer for Men’s Soccer team. A renowned ladies’ man, his fame from soccer brings him women.

 

Writer
Tara Holcomb

A classic Californian: blonde, blue-eyed, and taken. Spends her time living in the ghettos of DC on California SSI, prompting her into richness that she can afford to write for us for free! (Hey now, there’s nothing for free… we’re still waiting for a catch-22)

Writer
Thomas Korn

He's that KORN. But he ain't horny nor corny, he's KORN. Trust me, this kid would dig anything up on you, and as lawyers put it to their clients, "No skeletons, please." If you've got one in the closet, he'll be the one to spring it.

 

Writer
Pia Marie Paulone

Our genius writer can be found at flea markets on weekends looking to replace a certain lost blue comforter. She wrote her “Top 10 Reasons to Drink” article in Mexico, where the legal drinking age is 18. (She’s 17).

 

Writer
Dina Raevsky

Our comeback writer! A fellow Class of 1997 who once wrote for The Buff and Blue, Raevsky returns from New York City to pursue her Mastersí Degree. She's one l.o.a.d.e.d. redhead who knows how to mix vodka shots right, and has a lean & mean Rottweiler mix by her side. Whatís more, this redhead says she has partied with Paris Hilton and Nicole Kidman.

Writer
Elsie Ritchie

The one in dreads [hint: freshman], who likes the chicken in the cafeteria, she's almost never seen without a smile visible on her usually morbid face. We donít know if sheís smiling because sheís nervous or just plain dumb. She mocks bad tattoos by dropping this liner, "You know it ís bad if you once had a dolphin that ís now a whale."

Writer
Patrick Rosenburg

Never seen without his famed purse that has L.O.N.D.O.N. written all over it, this Peer Advisor drinks, smokes, and dons out advice to little scared froshies who think genital warts spouts all over your body (it in fact, does something worse than that. Want to know? Ask Mister Rosenburg). As a life-long hobby, Rosenburg checks out friends' AOL profiles and cracks jokes behind their backs.

Writer
Donald Tropp

Our insider informer on SBG. (Careful, Linsay and Tawny!) He likes to host birthday parties for his friends and is considering making a career out of it. He likes ferrets and helps his older sister clean up their poop and takes out the trash.
