In the Newtonian much hard work and planning must be accom- plished before the final paper rolls off the press. Each cub and editor has his own important job that must be completed to the final detail before the paper even goes to press. The cubs must hunt out and write the stories before the deadline comes due. The editors in turn must copyread, write, rewrite, make headlines and proof-read before the stories are pasted on the page dummy. Then last the final rush to the Kansan with the completed make-up and awaiting proudly the day the paper is sent out, knowing that they had a part in the sweat and work of each issue. This year's Newtonian staff includes, Nancy Becraft as editor-in-chief and news editor, Jane Cornick. Associate news editors were Ellen Kaye Cummings and Don Peterson. Shirlee Marlow was feature editor and Marilyn Nelson was her asso- ciate. Sports editor was Loren Obley with his associate being Jim Raffety. Dorothi Donnelly was business manager, adver- tising manager and morgue chief and circulation manager and exchange editor was Glenna Pummill. The Newtonian, living up to previous records again re- ceived a first class rating by the National Scholastic Press Association for the fall semester. Being judged on content, coverage, make-up, headlines and typography, the Newtonian received a total score of 1710 points. Senior Cubs on th Dorothi Donnelly and Glenna Pummi .
