THE COLLEGIAN Interest centers on Al Butrym, Collegian Editor- in-chief, as he maps the strategy for a forthcom- ing issue of the school ' s newspaper. Adhering to the tradition of changing stalffs at mid-term, Editor-in-chief Alexander Butrym (left) congratulates Junior John Gall on acquir- ing the editorship of the Collegian. An amusing bit of sports copy appears to be unfolding from columnist Jim Dougherty ' s type- writer by the facial expressions of the other Collegian staff members. The responsibility for the weekly appearance of the 195 5-5 6 Collegian fell to Alexander Butrym. The paper not only serves as a workshop for stu- dents interested in journalism but acts as a vehicle for disseminating information to the student body. Dr. J. L. Rafter and Ted Bronson, former columnist for the Collegian and a 195 5 graduate of La Salle, who is the current public relations man for the College, served as moderators of the paper over the past year. By-lines from Bill Bickley, Jack McDevitt, Jim Dougherty, Tom Devlin, and Norb Moser, to mention a few, added invaluable interest and zest to the columns of the eight page weekly. 26

SOCIOLOGY CLUB The purpose of the Sociology Club is to better understand the problems and causes of social dis- tress confronting the modern world.
