Every spring, as the senior class prepares to graduate, the Justice recognizes the accomplishments of its own graduating class-editors whose contributions to this paper will be felt long after their departures. Although none of the following seniors remain on our masthead today, it would be foolish to forget what they brought to these pages.MEREDITH GLANSBERG

Constitutional orders of succession typically concern chiefs of state, not editorial positions in student newspapers. But with the resignations of both the editor in chief and senior editor amid that unforgettable tumult of October 2003, the burden of stabilizing the Justice befell Ms. Glansberg, whose strength and composure in the months after won her an Alumni Achievement Award and the eternal gratitude of the newspaper's entire staff.

But Ms. Glansberg's accomplishments are not confined merely to picking up the pieces. As advertising editor, she increased the paper's revenue dramatically and rebuilt our client base. She then went on to serve as managing editor and revolutionized that position as the public face of the newspaper to the University at large and an unrelenting advocate of our organizational interests to administrators.

Ms. Glansberg, an economics and American studies major from Plymouth, will spend a month after graduation traveling in Europe. She will then move to New York City, where she plans to pursue a career in advertising.

MATTHEW BETTINGER

Mr. Bettinger was a skillful and dedicated editor in chief, but it was on the opinion pages where he left an indelible mark. He was a rhetorical powerhouse whose passion for politics and civics brought maturity and intellectual verve to the space underneath the masthead. And his arguments, always convincing, never dusty, were enriched by his knack for articulating theme-a skill he honed by many years on the high- school debate circuit.

A proud New Jerseyite, Mr. Bettinger imbued the paper with an appreciation for geographic regions beyond Massachusetts-and the roads that travel there. As editor in chief, he was always wary of exposing his opinions of hot-button issues that the paper covered. Instead, he used his column, "Drunk on Hysteria," to wax poetic about the expressways and parkways around New York City, such as the Taconic State Parkway which runs through the Hudson Valley.

Mr. Bettinger, a politics and history major from Englewood, will cross the Hudson this fall to attend the law school of Fordham University on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

REBECCA DREILINGER

In her initial role as a photography editor, Ms. Dreilinger brought a previously unseen level of efficiency to her role in the paper. This attribute, combined with a distinct professional character and level-headedness well beyond her years, made her a fitting successor to Ms. Glansberg as managing editor.

Her presence in board meetings will be missed; her ability to keep the board on task and mediate between opposing opinions was invaluable. Always willing to say what she knew would be "unpopular" for the sake of what she believed was right, Ms. Dreilinger embraced the role of kindly authoritarian.

Ms. Dreilinger, a Spanish and American studies major from Bethesda, Md, plans to pursue a career in journalism in the Washington D.C. area.

ANDREW MEYERSON

This is the second time in as many years that the Justice has bid farewell to Mr. Meyerson, who this year will receive a master's degree in Near Eastern and Judaic studies. This time, however, he really is leaving.

Mr. Meyerson will be remembered for his masterful eye-both in photography and picture editing. His distinctive approach even led some readers to coin the term "Meyerson style," after his tilted camera angles which helped animate a lifeless speaker shot, for instance.

His proficiency behind the camera and with Adobe Photoshop should not, however, eclipse his diplomatic grace. Mr. Meyerson was, with Ms. Glansberg, a leading figure in rebuilding the paper's reputation after the "Dusty Baker incident." Even our fiercest critics would melt away at the sight of his warm smile.

Mr. Meyerson will move to Jordan in July to join the Peace Corps.

SAMANTHA SLATER

Ms. Slater joined the editorial board as forum editor after being one of the section's most consistent columnists. She fulfilled this post in two phases, interrupted by a semester spent in France where she submitted two memorable columns to which the stateside editors eagerly affixed Paris datelines. Last fall, she returned to the Justice armed with the same enthusiasm for editing her section and considerable penchant for wine.

Always advocating a nourishing environment for writers, Ms. Slater's patience and kindness in dealing with new staff was an example for as all. Her effervescence and bubbly personality will be missed in the newsroom.

Ms. Slater, from Plainview, N.Y., will probably work in Washington D.C. with an Israeli activism organization.

YANA LITOVSKY

Ms. Litovsky is the only editor who will be remembered more for her writing than for her role on the editorial board.

Not that she was a lackluster features editor, but it was her sharp prose that earned Ms. Litovsky the most notice. Her film criticisms, along with her regular column, "Culture Vulture," were the best examples of cultural commentary in the Justice that we can remember. And her columns were also the source of much debate-never a bad thing for a section called "Forum."

Ms. Litovsky, a psychology and philosophy major, will start her job in the summer as an industrial psychology research assistant at the Harvard Business School.

RACHEL KRAMER

Arguably the best photographer the Justice has had in the past four years, Ms. Kramer brought her artistic sensibilities to picture editing here. Her skillfully composed and stimulating photographs graced countless covers of the arts section, as well as the rest of the paper.

Ms. Kramer, an anthropology major, will move to Madagascar where she will enter the Peace Corps.

IGOR PEDAN

No one can doubt the dedication of one of the paper's more zealous former editors. Mr. Pedan's passion for journalism and his uncanny nose for news made him a valuable asset as a reporter, an editorial assistant and as a news editor.

He, along with Ms. Litovsky, was responsible for integrating the news and features staff and formalizing its weekly meetings, increasing the number of staff writers and imparting the editors' enthusiasm to our not-yet-fanatical contributors.

Mr. Pedan, a computer science and philosophy major, will pursue a Master's degree in computer science at Brandeis next year.

Finally, it would be wrong to leave unmentioned the valued accomplishments of advertising editor Leslie Pazan and business editor Amanda Jacklin. We wish all of these seniors the best of luck and bright futures.
