Come speak to Batt staff this summer

Batt adviser Cheri Shipman organizes a series of guest speakers at the Battalion staff's Sunday afternoon meetings (usually 4 p.m. And still called the "400" meeting). After the meeting the staff goes to work on the next edition, thus supplying you with a chance to visit the Batt's shiny new "2001: A Space Odyssey" newsroom in the MSC.

She's got openings July 15 and July 29 — contact her if you're interested: cheri.shipman (at) gmail.com

See what the Battalion staff is writing these days: http://www.thebatt.com/ The students are also doing more with multimedia, video, podcasts, radio, etc.

Stuff to do and places to eat in College Station, written by JOUR 490 students.

Just a few of the past 400 speakers: Michael Landauer '97, assistant editorial page editor at the Dallas Morning News; Michael Mulvey '94, Pulitzer-winning photographer for the DMN; Bryan Butler '95, news editor at the Bryan Eagle; Marissa Alanis '90, formerly in Internet PR/marketing and now at the DMN; and Doug Pils '92, night sports editor/Sunday Page 2 writer at the San Antonio Express-News.

If you'd rather view the beauties of College Station in the springtime, workshop leaders are needed for the April TIPA conference at Texas A&M, helping collegiate journalism students!
