Davant, who is also off-campus this term, said he was anxious to come back to campus and start working.
"I am really excited to come back and start with The Dartmouth," Davant said. "I think the '98 directorate is going to pay special attention to the reader and try to make The Dartmouth a more exciting publication."
Fritz said of the new senior directorate, "they are a very competent group of editors, and I am sure that they will do a wonderful job next year."
Gorman said the incoming editors have many creative ideas for the news and business sides of the newspaper.
"I am sure that they will implement those ideas and improve upon the projects we've started," she said.
