Journalism Class Creafes Things The Things Crew Working hard? Lecture time again! Ll ..lL...liJ. In the spring of 1973 Northwesterrfs newspaper, The Compass breathed its final feeble inspiration. The literary magazine, Phoenix, had already expired and remained unmourned. Thus, Northwestern may have been the only school in the city with no newspa- per communication for its students. THINGS about Northwestern grew from the void. Journalism I students Carla Bailey, Carol Boston, Valeria McCants, Steve Peregoff, and Rodney Law- son attempted the improbable: the production of a newspaper with no money, no printer, and no after- school staff. With the creative help of typists extraor- dinaire Deborah Merenbloom and Joyce Brooks, and printing pro Melvin Odakowski, the Northwestern free press was born. The newsletter assumed the responsibility for disseminating tidings of events and for voicing editorial comments and protest. A modest beginning, the mini-paper teaches students to impro- vise, to economize, and to persist in the face of multi- plying problems.
