Staff page 296 Comments from the Editor In my year as editor, there have been many misunderstandings as to what re- sponsibilities a college yearbook should have. I would like to take this opportu- nity to explain these responsibilities. The Raconteur yearbook is a student laboratory experience mainly for jour- nalism students but for anyone interest- ed. It is not for public relations pur- poses, although we welcome any help in circulation we can get. Some people look to a yearbook to provide only smiles and all the great things about the school. Yes, those are important but the bad or negative things are just as impor- tant. Ayearbook isjust that; the year in a book. The staffis responsibility, as well as mine, is to accurately record the years events and issues. It may be a sto- ry on the winning season for the bowling team or an investigative story of an ad-. ministrator getting his masters degree through using work done by others. All things that happen on campus or involv- ing the campus community are relevant. The charter governing the Baconteur states: The Raconteur is a student yearbook with responsibility to the University community. Also, it provides opportunity for laboratory experience for students in journalism. The Board of Student Publications has the responsibility for in- suring both of these functions are performed. The Raconteur must preserve its editorial in- dependence which requires student responsibility for pre- senting the news and opinion accurately, fairly, and com- pletely. The staff has worked very hard to meet these requirements. If there is any problems or praises, please send them to the Board of Student Publications. There are, of course, a lot of other things to say but no time to say them. As it would be in any situation where you work with people every day for a year. A lot of things can be shared in one year that cannot be captured in a few sen- tences, but Iill try. The staff this year was the most won- derful group of people live worked with. Seeing these peopleis talents ma- ture and expand was a very moving ex- perience. I can say that they are family to me. My thanks cant go out to them enough for all the hard work they put into this book. There is no way any of this could have happened without them. I donit have any specific thanks to give except to God, for just being. The other thanks goes out to anyone I spoke to or saw during this psat year because you helped develop me and this book into what it is. In closing, lid like to say that if you are looking for something, to make your life complete or meaningful e try looking at yourself. If done honestly, you'll find things you,ve never dreamed of. Thanks for everything. Tresa A. Roberts Editor-in-Chief
