RDER SC Public Hearings. '54 SC Profs Defy Call To Resign. These are but two of the many newspaper headlines seen throughout the school year which exemplified this very unusual year in the history of North Dakota State College. Never before has the college received so much publicity, most of it unfavor- able, in so short a period of time. The primary purpose of all Yearbooks, and this one is no exception, is to place in printed form a history of the school year. No Year- book, and again the '55 Bison is no exception, ever accomplished this perfectly. ln some cases the reason is a physical one. A lack of available space due to a limited budget or a final deadline for copy in the middle of April or some other similar reasons make it impossible to include all events and activities of the college year in the Yearbook. In some other cases, the reason for the exclusion of a happening from the Yearbook is not merely physical. As this Yearbook goes to press, the end of the faculty-administration controversy is no- where in sight. Perhaps by the end of the school year the entire situation will have been cleared up once and for all. Presently such seem unlikely. Other than what is said here, the faculty- administration conflict receives no mention in this book. To some students this seems improper. Surely, they say, the biggest news item of the school year deserves a prominent place in the school Yearbook. If the matter had reached some sensible conclusion the Editor might be inclined to agree with this point of view. As the situation is now, how- ever, he does not. The controversy will long remain a sorry but prominent chapter in the history of NDSC. Giving it a prominent place in the Yearbook now when everything is very uncertain would serve no worthwhile purpose. The hope of this Editor is that the Editor of the next Bison, will need allot no space whatever to the faculty-administration contro- versy, not because it still has reached no end but because it no longer exists.
