(Reprinted from the Feb. 8, 1999, issue of The Cavalier Daily.)

Following almost 20 hours of discussion and debate, The Cavalier Daily staff members elected new leaders for the newspaper’s 110th year on Saturday in Jefferson Hall.

Staff members elected third-year College student Michael Greenwald editor-in-chief to lead the newspaper into the millennium. Greenwald, a psychology major from Boca Raton, Fla., plans to utilize web technology to create an integrated online edition during his term.

Greenwald will oversee the renovation and expansion of the office space in the basement of Newcomb Hall. The expansion project will also begin a new tradition of paying rent to the University for office space, making the newspaper completely independent from the University.

Other newly elected Managing Board members include third-year College student Masha Herbst, a music major from Fairfax, Va., elected as executive editor. The staff also elected Emily Kane, a third-year English major from Manassas, Va., as managing editor. Staff members chose Dan Cooper, a third-year American studies major from Drescher, Pa., as business manager, and Sonia Karim, a third-year English major from Springfield, Va., as the paper’s operations manager.
