7431! OF MNHWTS' 23 Distinction 43 Direction 69 Participation Competition I33 Identification 119 I65 Index a: Advertising For Me record Changing the name of the yearbook was a very difficult but revealing ex- perience. When the staff launched into the struggle Iasy May, we did not anti- cipate facing such problems as the extensive research necessary to find a satisfactory replacement for the old name or a student body destitute of college tradition. We tackled the research problem early in the year. Twelve competitive names were presented before the students for election and the results indicated Excalibur as the most popular of the twelve. The problem of research, however, was, by far, less taxing than the Sisyphean task of restoring tradition. We soon realized that what we needed was not a better title but a new spirit. Many stu- dents had become disenchanted with the traditional float building at Home- coming and with apple selling of Apple Day. Some had even lost the spirit of giving during H.A.K. Week. We, the 1970-71 staff, decided to do something about the apparent complac- ency. Our mission: to shock the stu- dents out of their apathy by suggesting the yearbook name-change. Immediately after the announcement, a flair of opposition arose. Buy of course, that was what we really wanted. We were cailed before the Radio and Com- munications Committee for special con- ferences severali times and were stopped for informal debates in hallways, dorm lobbies, and some even out on the street. You're robbing us of school tradition. This is our yearbook; we'll decide when the name should be changed. The arguments were numerous, but the more opposition we heard, the more hopeful we became of the future of our proposed new title. If this name innovation has served any purpose, it has helped revive the original Lancer spirit in the space-age Excalibur.
