Executive Editor: Eric Goldstein

Eric Goldstein has an egg fixation. "He'll close himself off in his room forever and then he'll come out, fry up some eggs and eat them, and go back in his room," said roommate Jason Marbutt, a College junior. In fact, the newly elected executive editor is famous for his midnight egg, cheese and hotdog meals. Marbutt also took issue with Goldstein's cleanliness. "He's a pretty messy fellow," Marbutt said. "He has the worst room I have ever seen in my life." Perhaps Goldstein's messiness can be linked to his lack of identity -- a problem his parents say dates back to his early childhood. "When Eric was in nursery school, we were called in for a parent conference," said his mom, Karen. "They said, 'You know, Eric is really shy. We're not really sure he has a sense of who he is. Make sure he looks in the mirror and knows what sort of a person he is'." Mrs. Goldstein said she believes her son now knows exactly who he is. "He's bright, very very loving [and] very sweet," she said. Other than sitting in his room and eating eggs, Goldstein is also a confessed UTV-13 junkie. Incoming Sports Editor and College junior Scott Miller, who also lives with Goldstein, said being on Frontline last week was a dream come true for the man who will serve as the DP's CEO. And Goldstein fulfilled another UTV fantasy during last year's Spring Fling, while hanging out at the Sigma Nu fraternity house. There, he met Andrew Barkin, host of UTV show Midnight Live. "He basically came out of the closet as a big fan, much to Barkin's delight," Miller said. "He's a big Andrew Barkin fan." Goldstein said he sees himself as ambitious and probably too much of a perfectionist at times. His mother agrees. "He absolutely, positively cannot make up his mind about anything," she said. "He just dwells on them and dwells on them and never makes a decision. It's really kind of funny." Even his younger brother, Jeff, thinks the elder Goldstein takes things a bit too seriously sometimes. "He stresses out a lot, he goes a little crazy sometimes," he said. "It's really funny to watch him get stressed about something." If Goldstein expects to succeed as Executive Editor of The Daily Pennsylvanian, his decision-making skills will be put to the ultimate test. After all, there's nothing worse than a president and CEO of a $1 million-a-year corporation who cannot make a timely decision.
