I got frustrated when we were behind, commented Lynn, but once we had deadlines behind us, there was a lot of gratification. Lynn added, The atmosphere was really relaxed. I was able to get to know the staff as friends, and that made working together a lot easier and a lot more fun. When I was a freshman, I was very impressed with the newspaper, said Senior Chris Wallis, Oracle editor, and at that point I decided to be the editor of it. Chris enjoyed working with the variety of people on Oracle staff. I like being editor because it's the position that probably has the most creativity.
