PUBLICATIONS 'I' HE high point of this year's publications effort was Bradley Kulman's well-run AlIen-Steven- son News, not to take any credit away from the Unicorn. Led by Kulman and his determined staff of Wee Willie Duryea, Dean Ween Landis, jeremy Ben-Ami and Timi loukowsky, the News produced four fine issues without annoying anybody land that's hard to doli. Clifton York, and his eager darkroom people, Larry Buballa Siskind, kept the News in pictures. Although there were a few rushed deadlines, and the Cocce Press went out of business midway through the year lgood-bye Emilll, Kulman 84 Co. functioned almost completely independently of advisor Mr. Nichols iwho wasn't even here for the first semesteri. One could always find them sweating over some last minute headlines to fit in around the printer's ridiculously early deadlines followed by Kulman's roar of Duryea and Landis, down to the printers! We shall not repeat what the reply usually was. lf anything went wrong, it was usually blamed on Robert Buehler, a comfortable scape-goat since no one could remember exactly what stories he'd been assigned. Perhaps the only area where trouble was encountered was with the various Opinion Forums, where students and faculty were asked to give their views on sometimes con- troversial items. Since Allen-Stevenson has always been a hot-bed of outspoken dissent, it has been logical to assume that most will freely spout their opinions if given a platform. Not so, and the Editors had to go far afield - to special writers such as Plato, Socrates, and name withheld - for sources of O.F. material. Perhaps the less said about the Unicorn the bet- ter. Despite the presence of Clay lgnatz Hutchi- son lformer Editor-in-Chiefl in the fall semester, the yearbook suffered from a lack of overall leadership. Editor-in-Chief Livingston took a back seat as York took over, ably assisted by Landis, Siskind and lou- kowsky land missing Greg Demirjianl. Long hours were spent in the claustrophobic darkroom trying to catch up, but only the second deadline was missed by an appreciable amount of time. Minor crises occurred over the misuse of water and the avoi- dance of permawash, the lack of copy paper, the theft of a camera, the lack of contrast on the varsity soccer picture, etc. The Editors for 1978 have already planned their book, so Mr. Nichols' last Unicorn should be much less of a headache. Please bear with us, dear readers! and contribute more than you did this year. Even the likes of Glickman 84 Ruenitz lour esteemed Business Managersl don't like to apply strong-arm methods to raise funds! 80

CARNIVAL 84 BOOK FAIR C ARNIVAL was once again a success in 1977, raising nearly S1300 to be entrusted to the Student Council for appropriation. February 11th was the fateful date, as eager hordes of parents, relatives, reluctant grandparents, etc., trouped into the confines of the gym UQ, accompanying their boys. One of the most unusual - and voted most original by the judges - was 7th grader Whitney Ransick's argument booth, where one could have a temper-venting 60-seconds of blabbering and com- plaining. All the while patrons of this booth were subjected to a steady stream of Ransick invective, including insults and moderate profanity. All in all, it was a popular venture, and most students want it back next year. The ludson family and 801 founded and funded a Wheel of Fortune, where legitimate prizes land sim- ply rubber lizards, spiders, etc.i could be won by lucky contestants. Then there was Locomotion, run by Nick Armington and Lars Lofas. This tested one's training driving skills - without forcing patrons to join a union! These booths - and many others, of course - made a gross of over 51500, aided by Mr. Gauger's ever-present hot dog and warm soda stand. Mr. Suter once again took up his spot selling tickets at the front door, and Mr. Harlan's overall leadership once again coordinated things - despite a sore lack of good door prizes contributed by patrons other than ludson. Frankly, Mr. ludson and family deserve much more praise than they got, as they donated the bulk of the quality door prizes.
