Slum And Gravy: The Corps Paper Slum Gravy, the four-page seclion of the Pointer View, covers any- thing and everything done by the Corps of Cadets. New features this year included The View From Here, an editorial column that gave cadets a chance to speak out on var- ious subjects, and Firstie Corner, a comical look at the joys and pitfalls of life as a Firstclassman. In addition to covering the Corps, S G gives ca- dets a chance to practice journalistic art, including writing, photography and lay-out. S G was led this year by CPT Timothy Pfister, SSG Hal Leathers, and CDT Dave Taylor. RIGHT: FIRST ROW: N. Coddinglon. T. Balo. ;. D. Taylor. E. Morris. P. Nasi. SECOND ROW: K. Sullivan. M. Merrill.

1983 Bugle Notes Staff Makes Changes To The Plebe Bible Editor-in-Chief Mike Bryson headed up the Bugle Notes staff of 1983 which made several changes in the traditional Plebe Bible. The changes included the distribution of posters which encompassed all the service medals, badges, and insignia. The staff also worked hard in mak- ing a map of the Academy grounds with all the monuments, buildings, and landmarks professionally la- bled. The Bugle Notes of years to come will enable the new cadets to enjoy a new softback binding im- pervious to and insoluable in New Cadet sweat. Wow, the Corps has!

It published humorous magazines and sold Christmas cards under the tutelage of its Editor-in-Chief, Chris Carlson. The monthly issues were loaded with cartoons, stories, and photographs. And what, one may ask, made the Pointer such a daz- zling success? The blame lies at the feet of the outstanding staff. Their hard work and dedication provided the Corps with the lighter side of cadet life. Pointer: The Humor Voice In The Corps 375
