Student Life Changes Preface This publication of the 1943 Argus make no effort to follow the yearbook pattern of two years ago, or even one year ago when the 1942 annual, in an outstanding contribution to the Ar- gus file, made the departmentalized static review of a college year, a student ' s biography of action, filled with the emotion and the color of that significant year. In that book the continuity of student life, in spite of shock and change, rounded its cycle on the campus as in the story. Student life in 1943 has had no such rhythmic pattern. The campus has felt the impact of war: change has been the keynote, adjustment the watchword. Loyalty and campus spirit of the students has remained through all of the emotional tumult but interests have focused sharply on crises nearer to the personal relationship than campus parties. The last wall is down: There is no slightest separation of the world and campus. In this year there has been a new pattern formed with new ideas, new ex- periences, and new relationships. It is a new pattern, like a score of modern music which, dif- fering from the pieces from an older mold, seems at first to have no melody. On closer examination, there is a theme — dedication to the winning of the war, whether in immediate active service or in the preparation for long-span projects which will have great value in the future history of the country — that unifies and directs the program of the year. This is the theme of the War Journal. The 1943 Argus has been issued for the studentbody by the Publications department. Editor Eugene Gaylor started the journal plan before he left for service. Other staff members were called until the book was eventually edited by the department with individual contributions: action photographs of football and basketball, Gaylor, Bob Campbell, and Elwyn Knapp; soph- omore photograph schedule and names, Ray Colbern; men in service, listed and edited, George Vinnedge. Material for the entire Campus Life section was compiled by Louise Wassner, representative of the Argus on the student council, with the ex- ception of football and basketball copy which was written by Stan Birdsall and edited by Jack Booth. Several Campus photo- graphs by Arthur Anderson.
