The NEWS THE editors of the Northeastern News will tell you without hesitation that no other organiza- tion in the University can match the weekly paper lor a combination of excitement, worries, frustra- tions, long hours, early-morning capers at the printer ' s, and downright tomfoolery. And they ' re probably right. They ' ll also tell you that accepting a position on the editorial board can mean that your marks will be one grade lower than they would be other- wise. For few editors spend less than twenty hours a week working on the News — doing editorial work, covering stories, and participating in meetings and discussions. Some have been known to have spent up to forty hours in a single week in the office on the third floor of the Student Center; but then all editors seem to take the attitude that the News office is their home. Yet, despite all this responsibility they bear, the News editors can boast academic av- erages that compare fa- vorably with any other non-scholastic organiza- tion in the University. This year ' s batch of editors has been no dif- ferent. One of them copped an Alumni Association award, two received Condit awards, and two others were top men in their respective classes in the College of Liberal Arts. Nearly half of them were Dean ' s List students, and •I several were to graduate with honors and high hon- I ors. The sports staffs ot the News included several I stars of the N.U. sporting scene. A dozen seniors I made Who ' s Who at N.U. and several of these | were named to Who ' s Who in American Col- leges and Universities. In brief, nearly all the mem- bers of the News staff distinguished themselves as student leaders at Northeastern. They also followed the pattern set by previous staffs by gaining national recognition from the As- sociated Collegiate Press. On the campus the ed- itors have supported the Administration solidly Bob LeDonne and have backed up other various school functions and organizations. Often they have allied them- selves with the Student Council on many measures, adding the strength of publicity to the Council ' s actions. The News is essentially a group of down-to-earth students with more than a daub of printer ' s ink in their blood and a yen for laughing off crises and typographical errors — as well as a knack for occa- sional disputing which invariably results in better understanding and faster friendships. And for the most part, the staff and board of the News are in complete agreement with the former edi- tor who once said at a News banquet: The News is a successful activity, true; but it also could be classified as the best fraternity at Northeastern. {30} s 1 v
