The Buchtelite, 127-year-old
independent student newspaper of The University of Akron previously under the
capable hands of former BJ editor Roger Mezger as its advisor, will suspend
publication at the beginning of next semester, marking the second time in
less than three years that the paper has gone on hiatus.
Two students editors
are graduating, another four are going out of the country to work or study.
The paper’s current
temporary adviser, Val Pipps, is trying to round up replacements. Val joined
the Akron faculty after a 2006-2008 stint at the BJ, where he was the major
reason the Ohio.com web site hits more than doubled during his guidance.
