J ournaljogging: hot pur uit DAVENPORT, IA QNAHPAJ - At approximately 8:10 A.M. Monday, August 26, the first issue of The Pursuit of the Wildcats was distributed as they embarked upon their new educational adventure into the world of proving that North's Alive in '85.', Early in the summer, Editor-in- Chief Jon Doyle and Adviser Betty Christian undertook the challenge of producing North's first paper, in hopes to capture the blue and the gold. After brainstorming over one hun- dred names, Student Senate and the small nucleus of the news staff voted, declaring it The Pursuit. Its inaugral edition was pasted up by News Editors Chris Johnson and Teri Schultz, Fea- tures Editor, Peggy Sager, and Christian and Doyle, on Wednesday, August 21, on Christian's ping pong table from 7 P.M. until 1:30 A.M. The Pursuit staff strove for excellence in layout and student coverage as they published sixteen issues. Being on newspaper has been a great challenge for me and a rewarding event, exclaimed Sports Editor Jeff Hester. Though newspapering took work and dedication, it was a lot of fun, admitted sophomore Alicia McDonough who wrote special features about issues such as boozin, tn' cruisin', Ramboman- ia, and HGimme a Break. The Pursuit staff sought out the identity of the newly composed student body. Finally, in May, they had estab- lished the way of the Wildcats in the field of newspaper journalism. --' mir f Ns!
