A yearbook staff was practically non- existentthis year1 Leslie Shoquist and Sonya Xlerrill found themselves even writing sportsl Two veterans of yearbook work found themselves recruited-Bill lfreer and Clayla Pulliam. Three freshmen were partially trained, but due to tack of time on the part of the teacher editors, ended up only doing a part of what was needed. As many as six different photographers were used in the course of the year to take all the many activities and organizations which are covered in the 68-69 book. Days, weeks, months--night and day--were spent to make this a book enjoyable to students. Students were the focus of this yearbomik-students in all phases, doing everything. Since this was a rather quiet year far as activities, individuals and everyday life was what we concentrated on, more than a broader circle of faculty, administration and the develop- ments of L'SlL', which in itself would take up a whole book,

Taylor Payson was the Tide Sports Edi- tor for two quarters this year. Notes, interviews, press releases, as- signments, photos, editorials, news, news, news. . .the life of a paper staff is varied, but in the end the finished prod- uct comes outeach Friday, face-to-face with criticism, relentless or constructive. Many processes are involved in the making of the WESTERN TIDE. First the choice of stories to be covered, then assignments to reporters, and sending all copy to be verityped, then the final paste-ups which prepare the paper to be sent to be printed. The TIDE ran into the usual problems this year. At the beginning of Spring Quarter, a complete change of staff took place due to difficulties in assigning responsibilities. Replacing Mike New- house, who worked as Editor in Chief for two quarters, was Lynn Lippincott. Many other changes were made in staff. This is not an unusual happening for the Cal VVestern paperg at leat two editors have handled it each year for the past years, To help resolve this difficulty, the Publications Board, headed by Dr. XVilliam DeSaegher decided to change the term of the Editor in Chief and his staff so that it will run from Spring Quar- ter one year, to the Spring Quarter of the next, The overlapping of editors during the school year is hoped to be beneficial in the future, THEN ESTER STIDE' CAM U YH?- Susan Rousseau types copy here on the newly-acquired verityper which the TIDE bought from the fniyersity print shop.
