Thin webs of rubber cement hung from desk to desk . . . huge piles ofphotographic copy filled the tables . . . mount- ing board cluttered up the room . . . soft music from the portable radio and sounds of utter con- fusion filled room 250 as the staff rushed about putting in its regular Saturday of work on the PIONEER. Where's Pope's picture? . . , who stole the Pre-med Club? . . . who will go out for hamburgers? . . . where's the paper cutter? . . . what about this cut, lVIr. Finley? . . . Yes, it was a lot of fun at times, but then again there were other times when fun was not to be had. Before this book went 'to press there was a maze of sales conferences, contracts, choice of personnel, plans, layouts and trial ideas. Wi'th that completed came hours ol' picture taking, developing, printing, cutting, filing, typing, proof reading and assem- bling-with frequent trips down to the engravers in the jeep to break the monotony of it all. But that is just the work and hard part of it. The time spent working on this yearis book was time which none of us would sell for any price.- Famous last words, It was worth it.

Come on, kids, copy call is for 9 p.m. not 9 a.m. Such journalistic jargon just comes natchurallyi' to the people who put out your weekly round-up of news and notes on the affairs of MIC. The Collegian staff, occupants of room 250, begin to write copy on Thursday of the week before the papers Colne out. By Monday, 'most all of the news is inz, and the copy is read for truth, accuracy, and good writing. The staff works into the wee hours on Tuesday when they set about to write headlines and to lay out the pages. On Thursday the proofs are read. for errorsg and on Friday, the Collegian goes to pressf, In the mean- time, the staff has made preparation for the next week's paper. The news must go on.
