All in all, for jokes, light reading, and straight dope on events at the Academy, the LOG was unbeatable. But the LOG labored under difliculties that are ordi- narily unknown to most college magazines. There is absolutely no time in the daily routine that is not occu- pied. The men who make our LOG took the time in bits from their studies and shorted other activities for the benelit of the magazine. There werenit very many men who could make the exchange or could feel the lure of printers ink above the other urges. And then they catered to a very specialized audience, the Regiment. This reader demanded technical information, and he had developed tastes which were at variance with the rest of the country in many respects. It was a tough problem to please such a reader as well as the others who would read the LOG. just where to draw the divid- ing line in readers was a problem that presented itself with every new joke and every new story. A The Log bas its columnists too.

,,,f- sports. Boasting a crackerjack battery of sports writers, among whom were Kern, Rowen, Rose, and Kelley, sports editor Baldwin kept the Regiment well informed on all the details of Regimental and collegiate sports. Photo Editor J. M. Snyder faced the tremendous task of supplying more pictures for this yearis Loo than any previous editor, due to the trend toward greater pictorial coverage in modern periodicals. He and his staff, how- ever, more than carried the burden. Running neck and neck with the joke department in popularity was undoubtedly the cartoon section under the direction of jack Kalina. With contributions from such ace cartoonists as Roop, Schwartz, X. X. Virg Partchu Migoo1 , and R. W. Anderson, Kalina and his staff always turned out an issue loaded with fine drawings. The Midshipmen are never completely away from Navy information. Every issue contains a number of articles of useful information which every oflicer and Midshipman should know. The purpose of these articles is to convey general knowledge about the U. S. Navy, they cover every typeiof naval craft from battleships to P-T's. The job of selecting, rewriting, and organizing all of these articles falls upon the professional staff. Gossip by Salty Sam, short stories, a music column, Midshipman polls and various and sundry other topics Sorting !brozzgb fl fweeklv collection f of shots is Pboto Edilor Snyder. .Y :mn iegff . f -1- - 4 vp. fl .L-j::,1:e-.p.

r gig J. ff' Hnrremmegssicintans- am mmzinmilictzanuiiemmfl :mf than nf-axegintmenmi AFTER surviving june Week, the new TRIDENT staff set to work. Many long and furious discussions went on as to what would go where, if and when it was available. At first, a lack of material was the major problem for the staff, but after the members had put in hours of work, the material started coming in. Now the question was whether or not the work measured up to the high standards of the TRIDENT. Dick McCool, as editor, was the man most concerned. Under his guidance the staff settled for the best. Putting the whole thing together was quickly completed. While the literary end of things went its way, Bob Steele was in charge of getting the pictures. A shot here and there of the different events meant hard work, but he got them all and did a fine job. The photography section of every issue is strictly frame-inviting. jim Whetton, charged with the business department, had his own worries. The printers wanted one thing, and the staff another, but jim was the fellow who coordinated the two. His job, one of the most diflicult, never seemed to be too much for him. - The TRIDENT, like our other publications, gave the men who worked on it extra-instruction in planning and organization. Though it may not appear to be a very frightening task, that of starting a publication as nothing more than a vague idea and weaving it into something with form and appeal takes a variety of abili- ties that can have their applications in any field. Bills, statements, cmd dollar signs lzmmt the dreams of B'1l.S'1i7ZL'SS' Manager Wlzeiton and his associates.
