: Fran, the editor, Klocke has entered the room. The place suddenly radiates with activity. An argument is taking place at the door. Don't tell me, Paul. You stole that paragraph straight from my Observer column of last semester. Will they come to blows? No, Ron Pochintesta smiles, pats Paul Diamond on the back and returns to read copy in the Man- hattanite oFFice. A laugh is heard near the genuine antique beaver-board wail. Mike Marine is reading this week's Asides column. From all indications, this will be one of the funnier columns. Who is better equipped to judge the column than Mike? As you know, he wrote it. In case you haven't noticed, a crowd has gathered on the left side of the filing cabinet. Jack Hallissey has assembled his staff of sports writers for the purpose of rehashing this week's stories before they are given his final O.K. Jerry Nutting, Ned Condon, Jim Gallagher, Don Maguire and Bob Tobin wait their turns on the stand as Jim Reilly cries for more space for athletics. Jack looks upon his statT' with a calm, but merry eye, and sits down to rewrite the columns. Silence! Silence! i demand silence! These are the words 1' Jack Huilissey, Sports editor, figures out the deadlines for ballots.

Monday nights on the Quad were work nights. Mike Marina stealing ideas for his Asides column. steal back in time to a Quad night, and see what was going on as the news was in 'the making. The date is Monday, any Monday. As usual, the Quad night starts at one o'clock in the afternoon. Gaining admittance through the perpetually locked Quad door, we are staggered by the breath-taking scene that commands our viewing. We are standing in the midst of a temple dedicated to the fourth estate. Upon surveying the interior, we notice the three main walls of genuine brick. They are complemented by a fourth wall of antique beaver-boarcl, which is finished in a fiat coat of greenwpaint. The interior is further enhanced by desks and chairs of real wood which has been extracted from genuine trees in a forest. Perhaps the last things to be noticed are the . . Security First Filing Cabinet, typewriters which have thirty years- of newspaper tradition behind them, and assorted papers, some as old as the typewriters. A noise in the far corner of the room attracts our attention. There, in the corner, is a member of the fourth estate dili- gently pounding out a masterpiece on one of the tradition worn typewriters. Let's walk over and, though it may seem impolite, read over his shoulder. The masterpiece is unveiled. Now is the time for all good men . . . Copy Assignments for this week by Patrick J. Garvey, News Editor . . . Listen youse guize, initial yer name an der poop. If yer don't there will be trouble . . . and how! Of course you realize, as well as I, that the stories are due tonight. This is a revised poop sheet, which was done for our benefit. on Pochintesta, co-managing editor.

Time out for a bull session. whispered by the man behind the estate . . . Fran Klocke. Quickly the members fall into submission and diligently set about the task of reading copy. Don Murphy and Don Mc- Carthy are quietly deciding whether to write an article, and if so, on what. Stengal and Waters are at it again. Their- scratchy copy pencils are drowning out Spinelli's snores. John isn't sleeping, he is concentrating on the Business Journal. Dream on, John. What with coffee, supper and more coffee, the night has passed quickly. The office is emptied, except for two people. Here is fifteen cents for a token Phil. Use your own money to get home from the printers. Sandstrom, after profuse thanks, accepts the money from his editor, grabs the copy, and is off to the printers. The paper has met another deadline and is on its long way to you.
