The- Bull, approximately $4,000 less than the estimated cost of the annual. According to Anothy Hayes, the yearbook editor, the funds supplied by the school may go up to $14,000, depending on student enrollment, which has not yet been totalled. Each student pays ten dollars in tuition fees for the yearbook. The Student Government (SGA), in its last meeting, proposed an allocation of $1,000 to be added to the yearbook funds. With the probable additions to the budget, Hayes said approximately $2,000 will still be needed to meet the$16,880 figure, given to him by the publishing company. This balance will be obtained by profits from advertisements and fund-raising projects that the yearbook staff will sponsor, such as socials and dances. The staff will also ask for donations from community organizations and individuals, Hayes said. Student ads will be available at one half the price of business ads. Hayes explained that student ads, under the topic, Express Yourself , can be purchased by groups or individuals who want a space reserved in the yearbook for their pictures. Group pictures may have no more than ten people. The price for student ads is fifty dollars per page. Hayes said he is optimistic about this year ' s yearbook production, in spite of the monetary problems. He expects to have a basic book with about sixteen color pages. There will be no special effects, tints or elaborate cover. Still I expect the yearbook to be better than last year ' s . Hayes commented. ' This just means that everyone will have to work harder. Last year, the total yearbook cost was .$-20,000; $7,000 more than initial $1.3,000 appropriation. Eventually, the university was able to provide more funds for publication of the hook. There is no guarantee that the university will provide additional funds this year, and Ha.yes urges the student body to take an active part in eliminating If important — How important.. . . . Is a Yearbook Production? Anthony Hayes, 78-79 Yearbook editor this financial crisis. The Bull is used to recruit students to Smith, he stated. This should bring concern from the university as well as the student body. Hayes said he regards the yearbook situation as a test of student awareness and concern versus student apathy. The 1979 Bull Staff was the recipient of several dif- ficulties, concerning the 79 Production. In spite of a cut-back in our allotted budget for the production, we continued to produce the Bull . This obstacle placed a heavy burden on our creativity. A lot of things that we wanted to present through this medium were left behind, due to a lack of funds.
