J President It is seldom that a university or any other organization has such a devoted and industrious leader as our own President Earl E. Dawson. His record of service to this University is un- matched, and his abilities are too numerous to mention. His past service here at Lincoln has been a shining example of strength and truth. Many are the times he has put the problems and toils of the school before his own. He is always there to lend a helping hand and offer advice to anyone-students and faculty alike --who may run into difficulty. This rnan has all the qualities we should strive for. It is our wish to ser?e him just half as well as he has served us. -J. .

at The Word 'Archives' . . . . . . is a noun, derived originally from the Latin ar- chivumf' Several meanings have heen attached to the word over the centuries, hut one of these - the mean- ing we're attaching to it - is essentially upuhlic record. Wave tried to cover a reasonahle selection of the year's most important activities on campus, though we lcnow that not everyone will agree with our selection. And we've tried to capture, too, some of the intangihles - the moods, feelings, and atmosphere oi a year on the campus - the total mixture of hard work and play, study and relaxation, successes and failures. The 1964 Archives is somewhat different in de- sign and function, hut not radically so. This was not done in an attempt to hring up to date or to improve upon the more traditional Archives editions of the past, necessarily. It was done hasically as an exercise in prohlern-solving - and the Archives did have its prohlems this year. First, it was decided that the Archives had heen spending too much money in recent years. Not only was the 1965-64 Archives directed to hold the line on expenses: itis hudget was actually reduced suhstan- tially. Because oi this, the original printing contract was canceled, and a change of printers was made, long after the beginning oi the school year. Second, after the hudget and the new-printer ques- tions were finally decided, our starting editor-in-chief was put out of action for the rest of the year. Fortunately, we were ahle to get things rolling again - hut this wasn't easy. And there were other prohlems - some old, some new. The total result was . . . well, the total result is the 1964 Archives It has some rough edges. It was produced on a much lower hudget. It shows the effects of a change of editors in mid-year. And it has other shortcomings, as well. But we DONT think it's a yearhoolc we have to apologize for. lt's admittedly short on frills, hut it's comparatively long on coverage - and that, first, is what we were striving for. It IS a pretty good Hpuhlic record, and that's what the word Archives means. Dawson md and ity alike has all ur wish rved us. Y 1 LR This Hpuhlic record covers principally the period March, 1965, through March, 1964. The March cut-off point is necessary in order to meet copy-preparation and printing-production deadlines, and to he sure that the staff could complete all of its worlc hefore school was out for the summer. Even Archives staffers lilce a summer Uhrealcn - not necessarily a vacation, hut at least a change to other activities. We did manage to slip in a photo ol this year's graduating seniors, however, hy a last-minute arrangement with the printer. We hope you'll lceep this 1964 Archives edition on some handy shell, and turn to it once in awhile for the happy rememhrances it will conjure up. Who lcnows? Twenty or thirty years from now, it might come in handy when you want to show your own college-hound sons or daughters what Lincoln was like in the Hold days - and, prohahiy, in some ways, what it will still he like in the 'Knew days, too.
