It must have been an ordeal for them every time the gang came through those swinging doors to have another Roman Feast. Food was not the only thing we consumed. Man must not only satisfy his hunger, but his thirst. When men gather, and the iug is passed, merriment flows. Although we were often too tired to be merry, there was one thing that we eagerly did. That was to pass the iug. If you ever happen to enter the Manhattanite office, you will notice, on the wall, a sketch of what seems to be a throw- back from prehistoric times. It is not what it seems to be, however. This is the symbol of the Manhattanite. The half man, half animal signifies the combination of high intellect and animal endurance that is demanded of this type of man. Plaid shorts and cigar indicate one thing; a Manhattanite Man has unique taste. Every college has its egg heads, white shoes, black shoes, the rah-rah, coed-killer, BMOC and Frank Frat, but only Manhattan has the Willy, a symbol of the Manhattanite Spirit. We present this book to you. Read it carefully, but while reading, look with compassion upon things contained between the covers that may go against your grain. Remember that we are all very tired now, and we welcome any criticism, as long as it is complimentary. In the wee hours of the morning, work continued at a rapid pace.

Newspapers should be a maximum of information and a minimum of comment. :Cobden Each year a new editor-in-chief is appointed to take the reigns of the QUADRANGLE. It is the responsibility of this man to decide and direct the editorial policy and operation of the newspaper. The position, if it is to be truly held, is a lonely one. Despite the pressures of those who surround him, the editor-in-chief must maintain his newspaper as an impartial vehicle of student news. It is very easy to combine comment with straight news reporting and escape criticism. To become the active crusader for one faction in favor of another is to swim with the current. But to stay immovable when bom- barded from oil sides by demands and personal preiudices takes strength peculiar only to the responsible man. These are the requisites of the editor-in-chief. If they are met, he has fulfilled his responsibility in this office. As the presses rolled to a stop in February of 1955 the campus became aware of a new event. There had been a change in the QUADRANGLE. A new editor had been ap- L pointed. With this editor came a deluge of something which Fran Klocke in a more formal pose, had been often overlooked in college newspapers Factual newspaper reporting. During this, its thirtieth year of publication, the QUADRANGLE matured. Its pages became a reflection of the entire campus rather than a segment of it. News of campus activities was made known to all who stopped to read the past thirty issues of the Quadrangle. But what of the news behind the news? What of the hours and the work which were expended upon each issue? Let us
