T}i I Movies ul Odds and ends with Rob and Kevin with the aawn or each semester comes a chang ing of the guard up here at The Gamecock. Seniors leave, underclassmen are promoted, people come and people go. It’s unusual for any one of us to be in the same section for more than two semesters, much less the same position, and this semester proves to follow suit. Encore’s former editor Rob Lindsey has since left the hallowed halls of The Gamecock and has moved on to bigger and better things (we guess). He will be missed up here, but we must move on. We can only hope to do his previous efforts justice, as his shadow will forever be cast on this section. In keeping with the spirit of a new semester and New Year, we here at Encore are beginning a num ber of new features to offer you a more informative paper. Box office reports, movie times and new re leases are all things that we are working to include within the pages of Encore. In addition to these we are asking you the reader to contribute your thoughts and ideas to our paper. Did you see a live show you enjoyed? Send in your review to us. Planning on going to see “Next Friday” this Friday? Send that or any movie review in, too. Your ideas can appear in print as a full-fledged Encore re view. Our e-mail isgamecockencore@hotmail.com. We want to know what you think, and if we like what you have to say, you’re in. It’s that easy. Wp want this section to reflect the opinions and preferences of the reader. We can only tell you what we think about certain films or albums. It is up to you, the reader, to interact with us and tell us what you want. It isn’t hard. We don’t bite or anything. We want this section to live up to the potential it has and eventually become the most waited-for sec tion of The Gamecock. This section should be the pulse of the paper, and this can easily happen with your help. A few semesters ago when Encore was simply a weekly section in part with the paper and not the great tabloid it is now, Rob Lindsey and co-editor Erin Reed adopted as their slogan, “All Aboard For Fun Time.” We hope to carry on with this spirit and make writng for, working for and reading this section fun. Why shouldn’t it be anything but fun? If you don’t like what we’re saying, tell us. Or if you think you can say it better, prove it. We love to be proven wrong. Or at least Kevin does. He has simply gotten used to it after 20 years of being wrong all the time. Also look for us to rant on whatever we feel moved to pick on each week. This space will be filled with our nonsensical ramblings on anything from boy bands to rap metal. Whatever catches our fancy. We encourage you to actively participate in this, as well. If you like Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit, give us a good reason as to why... seriously. We don’t get it. An additional avenue for your interaction with us will be through sporadic polls and open-ended ques tions that dig into your CD collection or your opinion . of movies. Also, as a service to our Student Media counter parts, we will be giving WUSC-FM its deserved ex posure. We implore you to tune in and drop out. A lot of changes are in store. And with your help, we plan to make this paper something that does n’t end up tossed to the floor behind your seat. At least we’re going to try. So drop us a line if there’s some thing you think is interesting enough to write about. Encore is about all the things that are fun in life, be it movies or music or whatever. This paper belongs to us all and with your help, all kinds of interests can be represented. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
