N sgr- ln Nlay of 1966 the Echelon was awarded three hundred dollars for the entry of its January edition in a national contest on traffic safety. The contest was sponsored by Kemper Insurance Company of Chicago. Additional commendations on the edition were received from Don L. Smith, city traffic engineer, and Governor John A. Love. This year the Echelon continued its editorial policy of including articles about moral responsibility, world affairs, and problems encountered in flexible sched- uling. Emphasis was also placed on freedom of the press, since lVlr. Carl N. Clay, advisor for the Echelon staff, feels that students are capable and should have the right to publish a periodical that expresses an opin- ion in today's America. The Echelon was an instrument of controversy, provoking thought and debate. Published twice a month, the Echelon was under the direction of Kathy Gamble, editor-in-chief, Jim Drew and Cindy Sabo, news editors, Nlike DeLong and Jan Bolt, editorial co-editors, Becky Powell and Rosemary Felsburg, feature editors, and Rick Milner, Rich Wach- tendorf, and Kathy Carlos, sports editors. Other members of the staff included Carlene Hale, business manager, Larry Clayton, advertising, Jay Reed, art editor, Steve Killey, Dave Boucher, Ed Pompea, and Carey Watson, photographers, JoAnn Garcia, circula- tion manager and exchanges, lVlr. Carl N. Clay, advisor, and Nlr. F. Southern, photography advisor.
