BAMBERGER SCANLON SCHNEIDERMAN MORRIS CHISOM WETZEL CAHILL WILCOX BENJAMIN ATKINSON PLAYBILL Welcome to Playboorland! Here you will be truly comfortable. Nothing in Playboor will agitate your imagination, prick your conscience or cause your brawny brows to knit in wonderment. Relax, you have finally stumbled through the looking glass of the publishing world ' s Nirvana for nitwits, the ultimate in lowbrow ' thought, ' Playboor! Since space is an important problem for us we must depart from the format appropriate to this page and change the subject. Namely we must leave this chatty, good-naturedly introspective outpouring and turn our attention to those Westwood moguls of the publishing world: the Communications Board. Comm Board is composed of eleven hearty souls sometimes dedicated to the notion of freedom of the press. During the past school year they considered and put aside proposals to junk Together and Ha ' Am. They were more successful in 86ing the anemic, literary magazine The Comm Board chairperson, Robert Bamberger, is a senior in history. He characterized his chairpersonship as making a sincere attempt to be sensitive to the needs of the campus. According to Bamberger the most important task ahead is to make Comm Board and its publications financially independent so that the student press will be free of outside pressures. Playboor requested that the members of Comm Board submit biographical material. Only six did. Apparently the rigors of office were too severe for the others. Robert Bamberger: I was born and razed (sic) in Ohio, came West to find my fortune. Have become a slow-moving left-liberal, milquetoast socialist with a capitalist after-taste. That isn ' t the Am a fervent believer in knowledge and awareness though both may drive us crazy, but letting the culture do it alone is not the answer. Has it ever occured to you that death may be simpler than life and infinitely more kind? That isn ' t the answer either. (Editor ' s note: Obviously we let these people write their own stuff, read on for more prose.) Bill Scanlon, vice-chairperson: I was born in Milwaukee and have lived in Europe and all over the country; but heaven to me is the Irish Valley, along Richland County Trunk 1, just outside Cazenovia, Wisconsin. Since second grade I was set on winning a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. My friends and teachers, Owen Fennema at the University of Wisconsin where I was an undergraduate, and David Eisenberg at UCLA, almost got me to go on. But always lingering in the back of my psyche has been a political bent. Part of this is a reverence for the press, which led me, after three years of graduate study in biophysical chemistry, to membership on the Communications Board in October, 1972. Now I ' ve gone so far astray from my youthful dreams that, rather than a Nobel Prize, I am set on an appointment to the Supreme Court by one of my good friends Leon Kos, Richard Nuanes or Robert Bamberger, or my wife, Eileen McGlynn, curator of the Irish Valley. Carole Ann Schneiderman, representative: Has been a Comm Board member for the past two years. She is a member of the Bruin Belles and has served as their public relations and social chairperson. She is also a member of Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority, the Academic Senate and the Mortar Board honor society. Carole is a senior in Theater Arts Communications. Harry E. Morris, Publications Manager: Adviser to all student media since 1944. Mr. Morris retires this summer after almost fifty years as a UCLA student and Associated Students employe. Edited UCLA athletic programs for twenty-five years. Henry Elbert Chisom, graduate representative: I was born in Los Angeles in 1946. While a student at Manual Arts High School I decided that I was going to be a professor of history. I have attended several universities on the east and west coast in pursuit of that goal. I want to say to all men that dreams are the property of men, and we all have the right to dream. Tom Wetzel, graduate representative: A native Angelino (I attended Hollywood High and LACC before coming to UCLA in 1966), I got my BA in philosophy at UCLA in 1969. Since then I have been plodding through the doctoral program in philosophy and am in the process of writing a dissertation entitled Non- existent Objects. Although there are many things in which I am interested I would especially mention ontology, socialism and skoptophilia. ABOUT THE AUTHOR. Steven L. Silver is the brilliant young writer that no one is talking about. he is a rather dull senior specializing in ancient Mesopotamian history, of all things. In his junior year he was quite closely associated with Ha ' Am and regularly contributed humorous stories and feature articles.

Playboor looks at campus architecture stairways gargoyles other masonry delights Many artists and artisans have lavished their multifarious talents upon UCLA. Over the years the architecture has swung from academic to concrete humdrum. In this wide range of styles and motifs there is much that is worthy of the Playboor reader ' s delicate consideration. In as much as the buildings and their reflect the needs, aspirations and preoccupations of those that have designed them and now influence those that use them, Playboor offers a small selection of the masonry delights to be found lurking in the area.
