Review Journal: Chaos, confusion continue at UNLV student newspaper 

Rebel Yell columnist Alexander Marriott points us to a Las Vegas Review Journal article that shows that troubles continue to plague the campus paper:

"The holiday season has done nothing to quell the chaos at UNLV's student newspaper, as two more people affiliated with the Rebel Yell have been fired in the past week.

On Friday, newly appointed interim Editor in Chief Ellen Kominsky fired Mary Hausch, the newspaper's faculty adviser of more than a decade. The Rebel Yell advisory board then fired Kominsky on Monday..."

The new interim editor will be the Rebel Yell's third this semester.

Marriott, the subject of some controversy himself earlier this semester when he wrote a column on Christopher Columbus, said in an AIM conversation that the Rebel Yell "continues to deteriorate."

The faculty advisor will be getting her job back, he says, next semester.

"I'm not sure, I don't know all the details, there is only one more issue this semester and her contract needs to be worked out anyway, my guess is they will just wait until they get a new, and dependable, person in the EIC job," he said when asked why she wasn't immediately hired back.
