SS SS I PP-TAN ably filled the news editor post after her introduction to journalism via a Mississippi daily. Abe Tahir and Liz Nichols were co-feature editors. Dick Goldhammer was sports editor, and along with assistant Larry Franck they gave a running account of everything from varsity football to intramural ping- pong. Carolyn Kochtitzky was the picture editor. Mickey Aiken, Walt Larson, and Charlie Patrick comprised the re- mainder of the business side—with Aiken and Larson sharing circula- tion duties. Patrick was assistant ad manager. Editorial assistants, reporters to most, really did the leg work, covered the news and brought it in. These included: Martin Miazza, Herman Geschwing, John Way, Bill Shirley, Mary Elizabeth Tahir, Jo Garner, Ann Yates, Kacky Salmon, Lacy Martin, Charlotte Hess and Sara Murphy. The reporters with a flair for athletics included sports writers: Francis Napier, Charlie Bell, Steve Butler, Colleen Fly and again Mickey Aiken. Carl Mullican carried the very big title of The Mississippian ' s Gov- ernmental Researchist. 25

The Mississippian threw the book out the window in its news coverage as the campus sheet wound up its forty-first year of publication. With Paul Pittman at the helm, the paper went through a series of exclusive scoops, kidnappings, and finally a direct lawsuit brought about by the indignant action of the Law School football team. The little Chicago Tribune got an undercover interview from the four freshmen responsible for the dognapping of Bully Jr., Mississippi State ' s canine mascot. But a week later Rebel readers were shockd, to say the least, to see that a reliable source had intimated that Ann Gilpin, May Queen, would be kidnapped in retaliation. A month or so later the Mississippian uncovered a fix in the annual Murder Bowl between the lawyers and pharmacists. Following their defeat by the pill-rollers, the law gridsters filed a suit against the Ole Miss paper for $50,000—claiming their pride and integrity had been smashed. The Mississippian, which makes its bow every Friday evening, is cir- culated throughout the state, as well as being on the exchange list of almost every big college in the country. An additional 200 copies to Mississippi legislators boosted the paper ' s circulation mark to 2750. Harry Danciger was managing editor of the paper. Ed Brignac fiddled with the books and assumed the title of business manager. He was as- sisted by Paul Amos. Beau Carvill saw to it that the sheet was distributed, and Bob Boh hustled ads as advertising manager. Mary Evelyn Smith
