this year ' s branding iron focuses on university life bryan welcomes student response I ' m interested in publishing a paper for the students, said Mike Bryan, fall semester Branding Iron editor. I changed the editorials from page two to pages three and four because I couldn ' t see following an old tradition that wasn ' t of any significance. Bryan said the staff welcomed all letters because it was the only way in which they could find out the students ' reactions to the paper. The staff consisted of 12 paid members. Students signed up for publications productions class were the Bl reporters. However, any student could submit a letter or news article. The stipulations on the letter-policy were that the letter must not be libelous, 300 words or less and it must be signed. The business side of the Bl was handled by Paula Waatti, business manager. She was in charge of the national ads and the local ad staff. Advertising filled about 45 to 55 per cent of the paper each week. Mike H. Bryan, Editor Larry Armstrong, Managing Editor Carol Long, Desk Editor Jeff Haag, News Editor Allen Davenport, Photo Editor Phil White, Sports Editor Wendy Young, Society Editor Bonnie Warner, Feature Editor Paula Waatti, Business Manager Clark Germann, Local Ad Manager Pat Narrower, Auditor Henry Pacheco, Circulation Manager If might help if you use more than one finger, Janice Mitchell says to Larry Armstrong, managing editor. 64 Mike Bryan, Branding Iron editor, burns the midnight oil at the Snowy Range Printers. When I ' m done, all I want is a beer! says Paula Waatti.

Henry Pacheco, Jacque Boyd, feature editor, Joyce Johnson and Nancy Jones wrote features on campus activities. Jacque, feature editor who was once described as the tall one with the southern accent , cer- tainly was not. She rounded up feature writers and turned out reams of copy. Henry (Heming- way) Pacheco kept everyone trying to figure out his hidden meaning and sometimes hidden style. Joyce and Nancy had the task of interviewing thou- sands of queens. Of course, among favorites of the WYO staff were the photographers. They caused the most excedrin headaches, complained most, but were sometimes coopera- tive. Bill, Walt and Mark created general chaos the mo- ment they entered the office. They battled over darkroom privileges which were only three floors from the office and main- tained their physical fitness running up and down stairs. Wendy, an emergency photog- rapher and business manager, managed the money with the help of adviser George Padget. Whatever jobs the staff mem- bers had, they worked many hours with little reward except satisfaction with the 1968 WYO. Photograpfiers Bill Evans, Mark Eaker, Walt Rader and Wendy Young, business manager, create chaos in office and darkroom.
