C ■p if V 00 Changes open staff ' s awareness Posted on the wall in the TOWER office was a sign which summed it all up— A yearbook is an awful lot of trouble. Despite the all-nighters and work weekends to meet deadlines, the staff worked well together under pressure. The thing which set this yearbook apart from any other TOWER was the staff, said Linda Smith, adviser. Few staffs can boast that they didn ' t miss a deadline, that they still liked each other when the final pages were sent to the plant and that they sincerely tried to report the year the way it was, not as they would have lik- ed for it to be. Expanded coverage and feature reporting were the biggest changes in the publication. The book increased 32 pages to allow for the broader coverage of the year. An effort was made to make the book more personal. We think we made a lot of improvements by trying to center the book on the individual, said Sports Editor Linda Brockman. The copy was much better and the biggest change was ad- ding the student faculty features. Another change was having two editors for the book. During semester break Editor Larry Helm was hired as a policeman by the Maryville Public Safety Department. Assistant Editor Ann Mutti took over as the editor in January. I thought the staff reacted favorably to the change, said Mutti. There were a lot of hard workers who worked well together all year. They made the book happen. Along with the changes, improvements and hard work were the good times. In addition to picnics, spaghetti and Chinese pork chop suppers, there was the great lobster feast. Twelve lobsters were sent to the staff com- pliments of Stevens Studio in Bangor, Maine. For those on the TOWER staff the 1978 edi- tion became more than a memory book, more than a job to be completed, from September to March it became a way of life. 22 TOWER

V !ti X ' Wednesday nights marathon gang Clacking typewriters, the incessant bleep, bleep of the Compugraphic 7200 headliner and sheer bedlam racked McCracken Hall each Wednesday night. The MISSOURIAN staff worked feverishly to turn out each weekly edition, a formidable task for a student newspaper. Editor Kathy Bovaird said that all operations except printing were done by the 22-member staff. Though the advertising staff was brand new and many first story efforts were brief, she added, For a young and inexperienced staff, they pulled together pretty well. Bovaird and the staff worked for publishing more campus-related cartoons, artwork and editorials. They also tried to associate themselves more closely with the radio station and provide more consumer interest stories. Dave Gieseke, Tom Irvin and sports editor Dale Gard broadened their coverage. Along with the main seasonal sports, they included in- tramurals and reports of conference standings. Bob Power summed up his staff experience by saying, I got a lot of practical experience but it was so time-consuming. Wednesday nights got to be a real pain, but the pain was gone and the time was worth it when I saw my byline after the paper came out on Thursday. NORTHWEST fVllSSOURIAN 21
