Molly Gase, the news section editor of the Buchtelite, proves that you don't need to be a hardcore serious journalist to be a news editor. In fact, as an English major, she even proves that you don't need to be studying journalism. When it comes to how we're doing as a staff, Gase has a bit of a different take on that as well.
"I think we are really good at drawing cartoon dogs and bunnies," Gase said. "I don't think we're very good at ping pong or chair jousting."
Gase moved into the news editor position this year after being a copy editor and the opinion editor last year. She said that originally, she didn't want to be the news editor.
"I was totally happy in opinion. Emily and Mahala talked me into it." Gase said.
In a moment of seriousness, Gase did stress the benefits of writing for the Buchtelite.
"Write for us because it looks great on your resume and it's a great lesson in responsibility," Gase said.
Gase said she is glad she pursued a position at the Buchtelite.
"I really like writing," Gase said. "Seeing all the papers off the stand is really cool, like when you make a really good paper and all of them are gone. And the swively chair. I mean look at this thing."
