    Hootie is still there and still writing. His administrative responsibilities are shifting to the new position.

    Whoops, wasn't clear. The ASE left and they're restructuring.

    So - Hootie becomes the columnist only? Does the new SE write? Design?

    I'm hearing that Hootie will just write and the new SE will handle "administrative" duties. And I believe the DP is designed in Lynchburg by the CEC.

    Not only would it be a good career move, I would think about applying so I can work with a guy named Hootie!

    Yeah. It's an interesting setup. The SE will have no real say in design of pages. That's handled in Lynchburg. And the paper prints in Richmond. What a cluster ... it'll be all budgeting, reading stories, managing writers, etc.

    ADD: Valpo, that's J'Hootie to you.

    How many guys on this staff?

    Can a family man afford to live in this college town on the salary they offer?
