EDITOR Posed reading, Bob Lively looks typical in the adjoin- ing picture, but he really divided his time between the News office and the Book- store, dabbling in anything concerning publications and the public in general. He also wrote publicity for the Post and studied poly sci. before quizes. TKe 1942 ixOBERT Alexander Lively, class of ' 43, in three short years at Bir- mingham-Southern worked his way from a mere reporter to the editor- ship of this vociferous outlet for student opinion. Last year saw him capably holding down the job of managing editor, and this year, from his comfy editor ' s chair, he holds forth on anything from Emerson to pretzels. With Lively at the helm and able Cornelia Banks assisting him as cam- pus editor, the paper has kept up its reputation of being a medium of student expression. To prove that they have the interests of the student at heart, they even allowed all com- ers to use the telephone free of charge. Every Wednesday night the office was a scene of busy activity, with Cornelia Banks and Ann Blevins typing complacently away, Editor [ 26 ] Lively tearing his hair in an effort to think up an editorial, society edi- tors Flee McLaughlin and Jane Hud- dleston phoning frantically trying to get date lists, and Walter Anderson contem.platively smoking his pipe and composing the immortal ' Peep ' s Diary ' . To keep the wheels of finance well oiled, Lester Gingold applied his many and varied talents to the jobs of business manager, assisted by a harem of beauteous ad-sellers. Bill Hudson showed up every Friday morning with a mob of pledges to put the paper together and circulate it. And last, but not least, is the man who contributed a great deal in making this a successful year for the paper, the inimitable ' Buckshot ' Mc- Culloch, whose pictures composed the art work of every issue.

3.e BUSINESS MANAGER Lester Gingold, rumored at one time or another to be a stooge of everyone on the Publications Board, finally displayed his mettle when national ads dropped out and even sold some himself. He also disproved the re- ports of tight finances when he liberally handed out bonuses from time to time.
