THANKS GANG! In a totally unprecidented move, | Teresa L. Olive, Student Publications Advisor, have commandeered these two pages from the yearbook staff. This act was done with the air of utmost secrecy, and | do personally accept all responsibility involved. | have done this in an effort to portray to you, the students, faculty and staff of UAM, the importance of what | affectionately refer to as ‘‘My Kids.” The Student Publications Department has played an important role in changing UAM, as well as pre- serving the past. Without the newspaper or year- book no UAM alumni could have the pleasure of reliving his or her past col- lege days. Published bi-monthly, the Campus Herald keeps students atuned to their surroundings by providing information about cam- pus events and activities. The Boll Weevil puts a “Stroll down Memory Lane”’ at every student’s fingertips. How many of | you have put your year- | book on a shelf and never looked at it again? This section of the Boll Weevil is called ‘‘Student Life.” | believe what the publication staffs do IS student life. Without the dedication of the small handful of students which produce your publica- tions, your life at UAM would be just a shadow of the past. They perform the remarkable feat of recording and preserving a piece of your life. These students are no different from you. They carry 18 hour loads. They major in every discipline from forestry to French. They date, eat 3 meals a day, take finals and they fight with their parents. However, their most amazing characteristic is their | dedication. Each of them shoulder a dedication and re responsibility which | have not seen before in my 25- arent Gr Campus Herald’ (top) and ‘Boll Weevil’ (above) year existence. It is this dedication that carries them through the rough times (which are many) | and the good times (which are few). Producing a newspaper and a yearbook can be a monumental task to undertake. Both publications have deadlines — deadlines that can’t be over- looked because of the date for which you're waited all semester, the most fantastic keg party UAM has ever seen, or the first month of the highly conveted summer vacation. “My Kids’’, often a motly crew, always give their all when asked. | think we should all give them a thunderous round of applause for their superb performance. And may- be we owe them a ‘‘Thank you”’ when we encounter them on campus. After all, they're responsible for | preserving a small part of you and your memories | that will always be as close as this 50th volume of the UAM Boll Weevil.
