About three days later, the first issue of The Batt came out. Anxiously I searched for my gem. After leafing through the football preview section, I found it. As I sat in the Commons reading my story, the ex pression on my face changed from happiness to astonishment to anger, That wasn’t my story. That was my editor’s story with my byline. Feeling like a failure, I contemplated my future as a sportswriter. Should I quit? They wouldn’t even miss me if I did. Fumbling through my jumbled list of phone num hers, I called the man who would soon become my best friend at The Battalion, Nick Georgandis. Georgandis and I were in the same boat at The Batt. He too was a young and naive beginner. He too had been All-World at his high school paper. He too real ized that The Batt was much different from his high school paper. He too saw his byline that day on a story that he clearly did not write. Georgandis came over. (He lived in Aston and I lived in Dunn). We bitched and sulked about our Battal ion debuts over a couple of games of John Madden Foot ball. Reeling from the dis gust I felt after reading The Battalion that morning, and reeling from the disgust I felt after eating an entire Gumby’s pizza that after noon, I decided to call The Battalion and give the sports editors a piece of my mind... When William Harrison, one of the two sports editors, answered the phone, I thought about lighting into him like Buddy Ryan into Kevin Gilbride. But I didn't. My better judgment caught up with me, and I merely asked him about my story. Listening attentively, I made my mind up to work on be coming a better writer, the best I could be. Sure there have been times during the past three semesters that I have want ed to give up, quit, and change my career plans. Something has kept calling me back. Maybe it’s the fact that I get to register early that keeps me devoted to my job, or maybe it’s the fact that I get free food at every sporting event I cover. Seriously though, after working here for a quite a while, I feel a peculiar bond with the staff here. When I’m not working on a prize winning column or late- breaking story, I enjoy hang ing out and watching TV in the cozy confines of The Bat talion newsroom. No longer am I nervous around the likes of R.C. Slocum, Antonio Armstrong, Leeland McElroy, or Tony Barone (well, maybe Barone). No longer am I as giddy as a 13-year old girl in a room full of college boys when I’m sitting courtside at a basketball game or in the press box at a football game. One thing has never changed however, and that’s my love for writing for the people at Texas A&M. In my columns, I have been able to entertain, in form, and share some really personal feelings with the student body and faculty of this school. No one really ever thought you could do all that with a sports col umn. With my stories, I have been able to report on countless sporting events and sports figures. My passions have endured some changes, however, and whether you care or not, I’d like to inform you that I will not be writing for the sports page next semester. It’s not that I don’t like sports any more. Not that at all! I just need a change of pace. I still love to write, and you’ll just have to pick up the first couple of issues of The Battalion next semes ter to locate me at my new address. I’d tell you where it is, but I haven’t been hired to write there yet, and I don’t want to jinx myself. Wednesday Rcr londo soap operj the full “De Elizabeth I beneath Wi In this episode: Di?
