Basketball Allan Wagner became a prominent member of the College of Pharmacy basketball team during his sophomore year, but to his regret, he was the lone member of his class. He was the so called big man, and received the name Big Al, which has remained with him ever since. Our second year at college went fast and suddenly Al was a junior, coming back to the team for a third time; this time accompanied by -his classmate and buddy Bruce Rifkin. The opening day of the season was recorded as Al ' s greatest day in basketball. Besides fine rebounding, he was high scorer of the game with 21 points, and the team won a 66-63 victory. Bruce Rifkin played well throughout the entire season scoring many vital baskets at opportune moments. The night he tied the score 28-28 at Cooper Union with ten seconds to go before the half time will never be forgotten. How high is the basket? Big Al can touch it. Three cheers for Mara! All eyes are on Bruce CUCFs ace. 27

Inside Anodyne office — Howie and Bert, working on copy. Ed and Jack planning an Anodyne editorial. Joel, Mara and Gil putting in overtime to get Anodyne out. For the past several years the term Anodyne has come to mean something more to the students at the College of Pharmacy than its purely pharmaceutical connotation. About a decade and several successive titles ago, it was finally decided that the publication of the school promoted a soothing and relaxed feeling; thus it was called Anodyne. As stated in the regulations governing the activities of the paper, there are five issues produced each academic year. A sixth issue may or may not be printed at the discretion of the executive editorial board. Each April, an April Fool issue entitled Iodine was printed. However, this past year, it was decided that the humorous edition should be withdrawn so that the more pertinent news could reach the student body. The positive reaction of the student body pointed the way to future editorial staffs for the discontinuation of this particular humorous theme. Because Anodyne is primarily a student publication, the entire staff of writers, copy and proof readers, artists, typists, and photographers is drawn from the undergraduate student body. The only contact with the faculty is through one faculty advisor who deletes any material considered to be in bad taste. This past year at a student debate concerning the advisability of continuing the publication discussion centered around the cost of production. Production is made possible by an annual appropriation for Anodyne received from the Student Activities Fund. As a result, Anodyne received a revised allocation enabling it to continue its quarterly publication for the ninth consecutive year. 29
