METAPOST: We'll bury your hatchet!

On behalf of myself, I'd like to welcome me, as well as the rest of the Hawk Lemon staff, back from a disgustingly long hiatus that put our good name to shame. As the editor-in-chief, I feel particularly guilty for not posting in approximately 61727159534 years.

So. What's in the works for the Hawk Lemon, you ask? Don't lie, I heard you.

First, we'll be returning with reasonably regularly-updated content fairly soon. We can't prove that we're better than the "real" school paper if we don't put out any work.

Second, we're accepting submissions from new authors. Contact the editor-in-chief (i.e. me) with a sample of your writing. If we like what we see, you'll be given the opportunity to write articles. Unlike the Herald, however, we insist on quality spelling and grammar. If you need help, or want a peer review (preferably before you post your article), you'll be able to contact Andrew or me for editing.

Third, you may have noticed my quote in a recent Herald article that incoherently discussed complaints about... the Herald. (The article, by the way, simultaneously covered and exemplified common complaints. Ironic, no?) What I said stands, not only as my opinion, but as an offer extended to all Hawk Herald writers: If you think your articles/ideas have been censored due to unfair restrictions, contact a Hawk Lemon editor. If the editorial board determines your work to be of sufficient quality, we'll be more than happy to publish it, because Fighting The Power is our middle name. (Our parents were hippies.)

Finally, after consultation with our legal department, this paragraph has been removed. It's strictly parody and satire for us.

And that, my friends, is how we roll. Just in case you missed it before: INTERESTEED AUTHORS, TALK TO ANDREW HART OR ROB CARSON AT SCHOOL.
