rf---. f . 'wfmrf - Y - ,, Em, With the next issue came our first correct headline on the galleys and the initial effort of the Kinni- cutt-Lehman team that contributed humor columns for all issues but the first one. The second page was also graced by the last-minute cartoons of Dave Ames in all issues but one, in which the gap was filled by Cokey O'Connor. The Board managed to fill up the rest of the page with Spot- lights, occasional letters, and several assists from our unofficial Associate Editors, Steve Jones and Mike Chace. The front page survived several arid land hectic for News Editor Butlerh periods during which im- portant stories were few and far between. Harry Holcomb was by far its most consistent writer with a story in every issue, with Tim Clark running a close second. Spencer Borden's sports page endured the same dearth of material malady as the first one between seasons, but was tided over by editorials from him and Assistant Editor Bancroft. The major change in the sports write-ups this year was the introduction of signed articles to allow editorialization in game de- scriptions. Toward the end of our management, we found our- selves growing somewhat cocky about our ability to get the paper out without much confidence gained strength only pletely extinguished by the last indulged in a scramble almost as first. Generally, however, the year was one without vast upheaval in any major category. It was rather a con- servative one of adherence to ideas proved by former Boards with occasional additions and, we hope, im- provements. trouble.

Sw ett Pierce, Kinnicutt. Gacnslen, Toop, Brown. The Lit. , although it has always been known as the literary issue of the 081B Newspaper, is really a different organization altogether. The Board elects its own new members to fill the places left vacant by graduating members. It is usually composed of former, and, if possible, continued contributors. The burden is on the Editor-in-Chief. After he and the other Board members meet in some impersonal classroom to complete the prelim- inary axing, the held of battle shifts to the house of the faculty advisor, Mr. Abell. This meeting is conducted by the Editor-in-Chief who The Literar Issue 1.4.1 ,',k ji 2 . 5 Rss tries to keep the remarks focused on the busi- ness at hand, deciding between the four or Eve remaining controversial papers. Having picked the articles with a well bal- anced issue in mind, the Editor-in-Chief must correct the papers and take them to the printers. The professional appearance of the finished Lit, is always more than adequate reward for the effort put in by the Board. And because the Lit, welcomes any contribution and will print anything it feels is worthy, the Lit.,' provides a valuable incentive and initiative for anyone to express himself in any way and on any subject. A weeding conference.
