ANOTHER FIRST! ! The yearbook staflc of 1964 spent a precarious summer waiting to hear whether or not they would finally have their own book to publish. The good news finally came early in Sep- tember. For the first time in the history of Fairleigh Dickinson University, there would be separate year- books for each of the three campuses. Needless to say, there was anxiety as well as hidden fears with- in each stat? member's heart. The initial step was to think of a name for the book-a name that would make an outside reader immediately think of the Madison Campus. Using their clever minds to the utmost, the stafic reached the solution: run a name the yearbook contest . The contest was open to the entire school body, and the response was terrific. Names were sug- Avery nervous editor gested that conveyed historical as well as geographi- cal symbolism. Some suggestions were given much consideration: others were disregarded. Names such as The Rock and The First were not up to our standards. But, Gary Beinhaker's entry seemed to be very a propos: THE COLUMNS. 50, we had the name for our book land in the process, Gary won a free booki. The interest in the book seemed to have an osmosis-type efTect around the campus. From a staft of 4 or 5, the list soon included over 15 energetic and sincere people. Seniors seemed to realize that they now were going to be in the spotlight alone-not with 800 others. The solid staFf from 1963 could now aftord to take a long awaited restenot retire but relax. Dave could practice his guitar, Sherry could write to Larry, Rita could help Dr. Buchen, and Hesh could keep on worrying about meeting deadlines. Of course the problems of laying outithe book came as a frightening and overwhelming realization to the editorial staft, especially Coop. His imagination and talent were tested time and time again,- he never retreated from the assign- ment. The entire staHE met and completed assignments with interest and vigor. They knew that the book was ours and we could make of it exactly what we put into it. The first book is always a difficult one to organize. Being a small campus, the editor has the task of capturing the people, places and things that keep the community working in harmony. As a result, innovations in yearbook organization occurred in the COLUMNS. Rarely will a college yearbook devote a full page in the senior section to one particular senior; but COLUMNS did iteand not once but five times. The editors felt it was time to give credit to those outstanding seniors who have given so much to the rapidly growing Madison Campus. The seniors in that section represent such qualities as leadership, academic achievment and athletic participation. The COLUMNS' staFf felt that this, being our first book, would be a good opportunity to capture the atmosphere of our campusethe dividers are our eftort. The talent, of course, belongs to Mrs. Liba Bayrak; indeed, she helped capture the unique surroundings that we live and study in. The year went fast,- the deadlines came quickly. The problems of meeting them arose as usual, but the printers and photographers seemed to cooperate most iust when we needed an extra few-days for layout or a rush job on some prints. COLUMNS was a team efTort. There probably will be changes next year and even more the year after that. That is to be expected. After all, when a school finally gets the opportunity to publish its- own yearbook, the staFf try a little harder and sometimes get over-anxious in trying to please. We went out on a limb in some places; we probably were lax in others. But for the first attempt at layout, at doing copy and identifying all pictures correctly, the COLUMNS editorial stafl,E want to congratulate and thank all those devoted workers who helped us put out this book. Normally, this type of acknowledgement comes at the end of the book, but we want to put it here in order for all to know that the entire school body was responsible for putting out the COLUMNSewe are very proud.

The METROPOLITAN, student newspaper of the Madison Campus, completed its fourth full year of publication this month. The paper, pub- lished bi-monthly and usually from six to eight pages, foresees a four-page weekly publication within the near future. Numerous new ideas were tried in the MET this past year, including full page pictures on page one Uohn F. Kennedy, Lois Behringeri, halt- page pictures on page one icampus in Englandt, and the use of color. The use of color in pictures was especially significant. The METROPOLITAN became the first New Jersey college newspaper to use a process known as duo-tone , wherein a picture is printed twiceeonce in black and then in color. Numerous advantages are offered to business majors who work on the Met staff. The paper boasts more local advertising than any other New Jersey college newspaper, and selling this ad- vertising space is good practical experience for those students who plan to enter that field. In the New Jersey Collegiate Press Associa- tion newspaper contests, the METROPOLITAN has received second place and honorable mention in photography, honorable mention in editorial, and honorable mention in feature stories. This recog- nition took place in the 1962 and 1963 contests. National representation has also been gained via participation in the annual Overseas Press Club conferences for college editors, and through Pi Delta Epsiion, the National Honorary Collegiate Journalism Fraternity. 77
