Thomas Lyons

Thomas has got a lot of ideas. He nearly became an IDEAS major until he almost failed mechanical engineering. These days, he’s stoked to work with new writers, returning editors, and the office’s resident squirrel. He’s returning from a summer reporting for Richmondside, an online paper in California’s Bay Area, where he covered local politics, immigration, and feature stories. Thomas is not concerned about the journalistic ethics involved in simultaneously running the University’s independent humor magazine, The John Wesley Methodist Charter, though someone should probably look into that. A College of Social Studies junior, Thomas knows at once too much and seemingly nothing about Rousseau. Outside of The Argus office, Thomas rocks pretty hard with some Wesleyan bands, cooks the books for the Wesleyan Outdoors Club, performs stand up comedy, tours prospective students, and dreams of one day driving the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile for a living.
