Harrington, Davidson — let them think their floods of ideas are not mine. It makes them happy. And they are not bad minions, as minions go. He sighed gustily.

Gentlemen, meet Felicia, he purred. Felicia, the staff, laughingly so-called, of my magazine. It ' s an annual disease, he said, settling him- self into a chair and his date upon his lap. Last year the big names were Schneider, Piness, Price, and Kunstadter; this year 1 could mention Price, Bickford, Waldt, and Miller. But the real guiding VOO DOO spirit is right here with you, baby. He leered pleasantly. And I must say, Phos went on indulgently, I man- aged the Bridge Episode very nicely. Governor Devers could never have opened the bridge properly without my assist- ance.

THE TECH The Staff: S. Rubni, N. B. Champ, General Manager; D. Reiner, D. Benenson Complete coverage of Technology events has been the byword of The Tech ever since this oldest of our activities had its beginning in 1881. Although the Institute has no regular course in Journalism, the newspaper does provide an informal edu- cation in this held, for here is an outlet for those with abilitv to write, and create. N. Trask, R. Bacastow, N. R. MacDonald, J. Stenart Getting away from the grind is essen- tial to a well-balanced education and the manv hours staff men spend in the Walker Office writing headlines, typing copy or chasing down assignments provide a wel- come relief from Technologv ' s routine. In addition to the regular two-issue-a- week schedule several special editions are published during the academic year. Last spring complete coverage was given to the Mid-Century Convocation and that par- ticular issue of The Tech provided a per- manent record of that much publicized event. And to give the Freshmen a hint of what lies ahead, the special Frosh Camp Issue is printed before the term officially begins. A Problem in Make-up: P. Gay, M. Bosniak, G. Steinberg H. 30
