LETTER FROIVI THE EDITOR In looking through past volumes of the Chestnut Burr and old annuals from other schools, it seems ironic that memory books could be singly so unmemorable. The main problem is how they're put together. Yearbook staffs have been compiling last names and first initials from left to right and matching them to mob shots with the assumption that the reader knows the rest of the story. If a university has a lot of groups, it will have a pretty thick book. Not many students though, will appreciate or understand more than a few groups on a few pages. By throwing in an opening section on campus buildings, or a shot of a dissected frog, nothing distinctive is said about the year--what people thought and did that was any different from the previous or following years, The 1974 Chestnut Burr is our effort to print as much of the KSU story as we could fit into 400 pages. We produced 66 photostories with hundreds of headlines and thousands of words modeled after the big magazines over the last fifteen years. We chose somewhat of a conservative style for an ambitious book design. The stories from Kent State demanded a change in coverage. A razzle-dazzle montage of day-glo graphics and no identification would be the wrong medium for documenting what this last year was like. We wanted to let people talk for themselves. We wanted to get inside groups instead of shooting the surface--rather than shooting at people, publishing person-to-person. Much of this year's book shows people coping, picking up the pieces and putting them back together. People kept busy with sports, tried out nostalgia in dress and dance, stuffed Volkswagens, and went drinking. All of the things that are supposed to happen at college. But the whole experience wasn't reruns. A lot of politics died off. Some unheard of movements started. The 1974 Chestnut Burr will live beyond the first reading, to document college life the way we found it to 9' hinges J. Ross Baughman April 15, 1974 Durx1.- BURR Editor-In-Chief: J.
