And finally the paper is out on the desks and in the mail submitted for reading and criticism. Now that you know what we do perhaps you are wondering what we do it with. We have a typewriter with extra-small elite type two mimeoscopes fone in running orderj and a new mimeographing machine. We also have other small equipment.

Their biggest problem by far has been in the securing of necessary funds to make this annual. Of course the business manager did solicit subscriptions but that wasnt half enough. The rest was gotten through the sale '26
