[Grogospeak] Technique 2013 Elections on Saturday, March 17th!

[Nick Wiltsie]

Also!

ADITL EDITOR (Quentin Smith, quentin)

Responsible for coordinating, advertising, and running A Day in the Life,
the yearly all-campus photo event.  Perl skills (or enough coding knowledge
to fake it) would be useful, as the site inevitably needs some updating
from year to year.  Also responsible for choosing, editing, and laying out
photos from the event for a special portion of the Journal section.
