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.

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.

QUAD Edilors: Rebecca Gray-Glenn Abernathy-Myra Ware Williams Business Manager: Paul Kassouf Pbotographer: Buck McCnlloch Shown here is the Quad squad, Paul Kassouf, Business Manager; Re- becca Gray and Myra Ware Williams, Edi- tors. Glenn Aber- NATHY, other Editor, went up East ' before we could get a pose of him. Not withstanding his de- parture the entire staff perpetuated the mag in the eyes of the campus by continuing the good work of their predeces- L NTERING its second year of publication, Quad was put on a firmer financial basis when money was appropriated by the Executive Council to continue it. The fact that it would continue was evidenced by the popular vote showered on the question of the magazine ' s permanence last year by a grateful and complimentary student body. They appreciated the fine choice of articles and short stories by the Editors of the original Quad, the foundling of student publications. The popular election of student editors of the literary magazine was also received with acclaim and a multitude of candidates flocked to be qualified. When the smoke of battle cleared, Rebecca Gray, Glenn Abernathy, and Myra Ware Williams emerged victorious besides having been elected editors. Immediately they adopted a new official of Quad, the Business Manager after much meditation (there had been no manager) they se-
