Nelson Ed Ellis Editor Associate Editor Managing Editor Copy Editors Sports Editor Junior Assistants Sophomore Assistants AS THE official student newspaper of the University, the ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ■ ' ° ' Missouri Student attempts to promote the best interests of the Student Body in every possible way. Its main objective is to print student opinion on all issues confronting the students and to take a stand in behalf of the students, when the occasion warrants such action. Essentially non-political in character, the Student has maintained an independent attitude both in its editorial columns and its selection of staff members. Although it is under the control of the Student Council, the editor is almost entirely free to choose his assistants and the editorial policy. The Council exercises its control through the Advisory Board made up of four Council members and a student chosen at large. The editor is a non-voting but otherwise regular member of the Council. There is no faculty censorship or control. During the first semester the paper was distributed each Wednesday evening to every student enrolled in the University. The retrenchment program of the University caused withdrawal of support from that quarter and made it necessary to sell subscriptions in order to secure the finan- cial backing for the second semester. That it secured a circulation numbering more than one- half of the students is proof of its popularity as a campus news sheet.

At the beginning of the year the Showme succeeded in obtaining O. 0. Mclntyre, famous New York columnist, to accept the honorary title of Godfather of the publication. The Missouri Showme is published by the Missouri Chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity. The magazine is edited and managed entirely by students, the staff being chosen from almost every department and school in the University. The year 1931-32 saw the development of a Showme Consciousness. At the beginning of the second semester of this year, the Showme moved its editorial and business offices from the Herald-Statesman Publishing Company to 14 South Ninth Street, where the favorable location and window displays brought the magazine and its workers to light. Outstanding among the ten issues of the 1931-32 magazines were the Blue Book Examination number, depicting a humor- ous type of examination and containing something about 400 students; The Co-ed number, glorifying the co-ed; and the Circus number, which presented a humorous slant at the Big-Show known as the University, with fraternity and sorority side-shows.

» i i SAVITAR THIS year for the first time the Savitar sophomore staff has been divided into two parts, the editorial staff and the business staff. This specialization of the work has been found to be quite successful, and it is believed that the sophomores get better training for the positions on the executive staff the following year. The freshmen still are given the same general work they have always done; this gives them a year to decide whether editorial or business work is the more interesting to them. At the end of the freshman year, those whose work has come up to the caliber set by the Savitar Board and the executive staff are recommended for positions on the sophomore staff. These recom- mendations are acted upon by the Student Council, whose decision is final. The new sopho- mores are allowed to select their own line of work and specialize in that line throughout their sophomore year, at the end of which time they are chosen on the basis of monthly ratings to the four executive positions: ed- itor, business manager, and two associates.
