Editor Robertson censoring copy. Associate Staff— those who by virtue of hard work or brilliant journalism get their names on the Masthead. €L PURP Confidentially, now, says Tom, the real power on this campus lies, not in the faculty or with the student officers, but in the con- trol of student opinion held by Millsaps ' ef- ficacious fourth estate. Comprising the editorial part of this estate are such penmen as Clayton Morgan, Law- rence Rabb. Mary Askew, Lad Waring, sports-hound Joe Brooks, and that furtive, insectile figure--the much-curst and late- lamented Dirt Dauber--all under the direc- tion and censorship of Editor-in-Chief, Tom Robertson. Heart, body and soul to its editor (and almost that to its staff) , the P. and W. expresses impartially the views of all who dare to publicize them--provides opportunity for student radicals and reactionaries to in- flame the campus in behalf of their causes. Responsibility for student elections, polls, and contests, is eagerly assumed by the journalists and the results delayed for days to provide scoops. The business end of publication is handled by Johnny Burwell and a staff including such commercialists as Raymond Martin, Sidney Graves, and Harris Carter. To them belongs the credit for securing the ads. keep- ing up the mailing list, and distributing the paper in the halls each Thursday morning. EDITORIAL ASSISTANTS These able reporters spend most of their time running down the campus big- shots for news on the organizations which said big-shots head. Having obtained the desired information, they rush frantically to a typewriter the last ten minutes be- fore deadline to write up their stories. They emerge with nerves slightly on edge — but triumphant at having turned in their assignments. 20

Editor Mooter — wondering ij she ' ll ever get the copy correct. ASSOCIATE STAFF Chichester, Ricks, Jackson. White, and Childress distinguished themselves by becoming invaluable to the editor, thereby letting themselves in for a lot more hard work. And in recognition of this work the title Associate Staff was created and given to them. Contrary to the usual expectations in such cases, they lived up to their title, and the ' Shela greatly appreciates their contributions. €lie BOB The function of the Bobashela differs from that of the P. W. in that its province is history rather than the dissemination of news, and its scope includes an entire year, rather than a few days. Like the P. W. , however, it provides an opportunity for budding journalists to air their views, and remains as a permanent record of their efforts, as well as of college activities. Organized almost as soon as school started, the an- nual staff met regularly to report what it had done; to exult in their new staff room; and to deplore the lack of privacy which allowed the indispensable Mr. Murphy, acting on orders from Dr. Smith, to invade tiieir sanctum at any time for the purpose of removing property that struck their fancy to parts unknown elsewhere on the campus. This he did by means of the window (which he alone could unbar) and it was not at all unusual for Editor Moorer to walk in of a morning, bent on serious work, only to find the place ransacked, and everything in a turmoil. In spite of the frequent confusion, however, the staff did ac- complish ? Special credit is due. this year, in addition to the associate staff, to journalists O ' Brien and Rundle. and to Assistant Editor, Ess White, general handy man and moral support of the editor. Following the effective example of Manager Wall, the business staff soon became adept at hounding the student body to buy books and pounding the pavement for adds. Rice Wilson. Jim Thompson, Eva DeCell, and chief propagandist Roy Clark were es- pecially active in arousing the student body to the proper pitch to support the worthy cause. EDITORIAL ASSISTANTS
