Gary_Yngve Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 They wrote an article on the Climbing Club. Well, it turned into an article mostly on Colin. They wouldn't let me do them the service of proofreading their drivel, so I sent them an email: > Be especially careful that there are no typos in our email, > website, forum. > climb@u.washington.edu > http://students.washington.edu/climb/ > http://uw.cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ They only listed one of the three, and they SCREWED it up. GRRRRR! They totally slighted the club. No mention of our big shows. Only the briefest mention of meetings and gear. They listed my first name as Gary in one point of the article and Greg at another... INCOMPETENCE!!! GRRRR!!! Klenke, you're right... these folks are destined for UW admin.

Gary_Yngve Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 Who thinks that the author (she) of the article was getting just a little wet thinking about Colin? "When he spoke, the brown curls that frame a high cheek-boned face bounced back and forth, emphasizing widespread hazel eyes. A cobalt blue bandana dotted with little white flowers was wrapped around his head warrior style. In a loose blue T-shirt and well-worn baggy jeans, the pre-mechanical-engineering major looks like a regular easy-going guy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Pine Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Check out this page. They've got a big headline about "Haley" with a picture of Gary "Yugve" A choice quote from the article: “I tried to grab a hole but everything I grabbed slipped out of my hands,” Haley remembered, “and I was gaining momentum. Then finally I stuck my foot in a depressment, ..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 On another note, they wrote our email addr as climbing@u, not climb@u. I called The Daily this morning and demanded that they fix it immediately. They told me that I need to email Features, and they'll fix it at their discretion. At the same time, I emailed CAC, explaining to them The Daily's incompetence. Within an hour, we had set up climbing@u to go to climb@u. Computing services at UW (CAC) rocks!!! The Daily can learn a thing or two from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Selective Service screwed it up one time... got this nasty letter threatening arrest because they claimed I wasn't registered.

klenke Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Funny funny thread! Yep, nuthin's changed with them momes. You don't expect the Daily staff to moil the day away for the sake of a good article, do you? I think in my six years at UW I maybe read...let's see...zero well-written articles in The Daily. The thing I remember most is that they never got to the point--ever. The suck-ass cartoons in it were the best thing going for it, and that aint saying much. There was once when I was in a stall taking a dump at UW and there wasn't a Daily laying in there with me so I was forced to use TP for once. And that heavily adjectival description of Colin: come on! This is an article about climbing, not a climber in general. I didn't know he intends to be a mechanical engineer, though. That's cool.

Colin Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Yes, I agree, that was a ridiculous article. I had no idea while being interviewed what she planned to write about. The majority of those quotes were totally garbled and vague references to what I actually said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
