N f, Seawanhaka kept the students informed , about the Workshop-Theater and the Read- ers' Club, the latest club, fraternity and sorority tid-bits and the after dusk activities of the Evening Division students. Never to be denied were the doings of the various departments. Seawanhaka strove continual- ly to satisfy these groups by giving fair coverage in accordance with the magnitude of their accomplishments. This brings us to the problem confronting the paper during the first half of the school year. lt seems that a Cost Cutting Commit- tee had been formed in the University for, as WQQ their title suggests, the express purpose of L ! gm slicing all unnecessary expenditures. Al- L. A though Seawanhaka did not suffer as much as did Review, it was faced with a budget cut to almost half of the previous year. This explains the appearance of those compact four-pagers during the . . 1 autumn term and the resultant curtailing of departmental and organizationa news. Conforming, though, to the old adage ua penny saved is a penny earned, Seawanhaka was able to return to its standard eight pages during Sl'1lll'HllIllI'!4l. the last interim. Without flavoring this with too much Seawanhaka we would like to wind up by briefly spotlighting some of the individuals who made the paper a possibility during the l95l-52 season. They were a small group of students, ' h - ll d like yourself, who occasionally managed to go to classes. T e so ca e leader was one ferry Erankel, commonly referred to as The Chief. His humble ' ' Oh assistants included right-hand-man Arnie Goldstein, sports expert Larry C , the painsll Wachtel, headline specialist S chwartz and the petite Shari y S Nocks who had the arduous weekly task of assembling the copy into coherent, readable English. Others sharing in the glory and the headaches were Busi ness Manager Bernie Nearman, Connecticut's own Trudie Ray, Ed Cooper- man, Howie Girsky, Walt McDade and columnists Dennis Altman, Sam Berko- witz, Nicholas Pileggi and other assorted characters. The lournalism department has continually assisted the staffmen and established guiding standards for Seawanhaka. lts leading exponent is Prof. Paul Gould, faculty advisor to Sound and Seawanhaka, who frequently con- sulted with the editors in regard to make-up and writing quality. The editorial policy of the newspaper, though, was decided upon solely by the editorial board and never met with any censorship or interference. SOIHIJ V- i And now . . . the very sad story of Review S magazine, sad because this publication, . originally a monthly, was cut to one issue per semester in an attempt to curtail Univer- sity expenditures. lts excellent literary qualities still prevailed despite this setback, although an article in the Eebruary issue provoked dissatisfaction in some quarters. Entitled UBlacks and Blues, this article by E. S. Long was criticized as being anti-Ne- gro. Reviews editorial board explained, in agreement with their Eaculty Advisor, lffr. Bernard Barshay of the lournalism depart- ment, that the story only intended depicting an anti-Negro situation and that they did not consider it offensive. Think of the devastating consequences had Review been completely terminated? LTU poetry lovers would have never had the l i l
