Printz looks for new Pillow Talk writer

Many of you have already noticed that Pillow Talk is missing from today's paper.

I can honestly say that this is probably the hardest column I have ever had to write, so I'll just spit it out. Glory Fink will no longer be writing Pillow Talk for The Student Printz. I know that Ms. Fink will be missed by many, but I have to do what I feel is best for this publication and for our readers.

I'm sure many of you have read Ms. Fink's article from last week on her personal Web site, askglory.com, and wondered why it didn't run in the paper. Parts of her article were libelous, and I chose not to run it. I did not make this decision lightly, and I consulted our faculty adviser and an expert in media law who both agreed with me.

This newspaper is a training ground for real journalists. We do things the right way or we don't do them at all. We don't know everything there is to know about journalism. But we do have these wonderful resources called professors who help us every step of the way.

I have every intention of continuing Pillow Talk, and we are taking applications for the position effective immediately. I am looking for someone who writes well, is informative yet entertaining, has a thick skin for criticism and is mature enough to talk about sex in an open and honest way.

Anyone interested should come to the Printz office in the basement of Southern Hall. Because of the sensitive nature of this column, please attach a sample column to your application.

Until we find a suitable writer for Pillow Talk, we will be running a column called Kinsey Confidential. This syndicated column comes from the Kinsey Institute Sexuality Information Service for Students. The Kinsey Institute was founded by Alfred Kinsey.
