Dylan Matthias, Editor-in-chief
Dylan is beginning to worry that he's been around the Gazette too long, mostly because he's now been roped into running the paper for all of the 2010-11 year. He's a fifth-year student trying to do English, journalism and creative writing all at the same time. In his (diminishing) spare time, he covers university soccer on various blogs and writes speculative fiction novels on such themes as death, power and political corruption. He enjoys contradictions and wishes time-travel existed right now. He ran a high school paper called The Wall for two years in very rural Nova Scotia, and he now realizes that stress then has nothing on stress now. Drop by the office to chat, eat leftover pizza, or volunteer. This paper's important, and we're all in it together—otherwise Dylan probably would have found something better to devour his time by now.
