Ok folks, here's the tentative lineup for the April issue. Still working on word counts, so stay tuned for that.

This list does *not* included regular column submissions (e.g. Rocky, Bobkat, Elliott, etc.). Note that columnist should strive to comment on subject material relevant to monthly theme.

April Theme: April Fools/Peace

News Story - Street Pulse Benefit Concert 3/28 - anyone?
News Story - Peace Conference 3/17 - Colin (story), Megan (photo?)
News Story - Preview: Greeks to Spend Night in a Box 4/26 - Anna
News Analysis - Whither the War? (Will?)
Feature Story - Are Local Vets Receiving Their Benefits? - Hannah
Feature Story - UW Teaches Course on Homelessness - Anna
Editorial - Are We All April Fools? - Daniela
Opinion - Hoovervilles and Beyond: The History of Box Cities - Daniela
Film Review - Letters from Iwo Jima - Jon
Arts Preview - Inappropriate Laughter (Oroki's performance 5/12/07) - Becky

We still need a reporter for Item #1 (Hannah, Anna?)

I've sent out invitations to all herein listed (except Colin so far, so I need his email) to post as authors on this blog. We are striving to use this space to coordinate our editorial efforts more effectively, especially in between weekly Sunday editorial meetings.

Also, please try to coordinate art/graphics for each of these, or at least keep those in mind, pending space limitations.

See you all Sunday at 6 p.m., Steep & Brew

Update: The Editorial Board (composed of the Editor in Chief and section editors) will be meeting prior to Sunday's general editorial meeting (6-7 in S&B) to go over a revised layout/design and figure out deadlines/word counts, so stay tuned...

For people working on Veterans pieces: here is a 3/16 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel piece discussing V.A. hospitals in Wisconsin. One thing it clarifies is that Walter Reed is a military hospital run by the Department of Defense which is separate from Department of Veterans Affairs Hospitals.
