Scott MacDonald: Contributor (sports and arts) (Year 1) Look, up in the sky--! This tall drink o’ water is an English student, reformed comic book reader, and sports enthusiast, with a particular penchant for basketball (his favourite writing subject)-- in fact, he’s often mistaken for a member of the basketball teams he loves to cover. He doesn’t discourage this, though he does deny rumours confusing him with Daily Bugle reporter Peter Parker.

Sean McQuaid: Editor-in-Chief, Comics Editor (Year 4)

An inveterate hummer, whistler, tapper and all-around fidgeter, his connection with this reality is minimal at best, lending credence to his claim of being misplaced in the space-time continuum; he seeks solace in our world through writing, reading, music, drawing, cartooning, and a peculiar passion for comic books. An unusually polite, genteel creature and a fan of Star Trek in all its forms, he is linked to the cult of the singing frog (though an ardent Catholic).

Carol Schneider: C Contributor, Women's Editor (Year 2) Bright, bubbly, and bouncy (a regular emotional jet ball), this staffer has been described (to her violent chagrin) as the office’s ‘ray of sunshine, "’ despite her claims to being ‘‘mean, cruel, and not nice.’* An ardent advocate of women’s issues, she worships unicorns, Roxette. and Darcel C. Kirvan (who?). This aspiring editor and journalist-to-be is a Jan of the new Star Trek shows, but thinks that William Shatner should be dragged into the street and shot.

Kathryn Brown: Contributor (Year 1) A rookie Xpresser who’s already begun to work her way up, doing entertainment pieces and collaborating on campus comment with her namesake (though it took them days to Jind each other, let alone develop a professional rapport).

Stan Livingstone: Columnist, arts

Fresh from that Dickensian youth Jactory known as Montague Regional High School, this impish generational pontificator is known for his rambling (vet witty) social treatises, and for never submitting said treatises on time (in strict adherence to the Cult of the Slacker). Frequently mistaken for a Jair-haired Casey (of ‘‘and Finnigan’’ fame), he wants to live in Cedar’s Eatery. His thoughts on Star Trek, if

Kirby Ferguson: Production, Music Editor (Year 3)

Self-styled arbiter of the musical aesthetic, his interests include literature, basketball, and anywhere other than P.E.I., as well as the fine art of minimalist conversation. Good with his hands, of an artistic bent, and endures recurring commentary of late regarding his hair or lack thereof, particularly ironic in light of his father’s career asa barber. Blessed with the middle name of Merrill, this closet smoker is also a

Grace Kimpinski: Production Assistant, writer (Year I)

A mere frosh, this overwhelmingly eager young lass burst into the Xpress office full of ideas and enthusiasm, winning both our hearts and a coveted position as Kirby's vassal, Outspoken and opinionated (and sometimes exhibiting the colourful vocabulary of a sailor), she has become an office fixture though she is relatively indifferent to Star Trek.
