Rex Heslop, Northwood Times editor, had | this to say about the paper. “First, this paper’s | main task is to report the news in an adult author- | ttative manner. This is accomplished by main- | taining a staff of dedicated young men and | women. By constantly probing and penetrating | the pulse of the college, they reflect thoughts, | words, and deeds, in a style well deserving of attention. | The Times’ major policy is the continual promotion of a strong college spirit. This is not | an easy task in an institution so new. The Times | hopes that by covering in depth, student activi- | ties, it can arouse enthusiasm. | Finally, if an issue arises, the Northwood Times shall open itself to discussion either through letters or by editorial comment. It | shall not be afraid to back its convictions for they |are based upon the supposition that open dis- ) cussion leads to better understanding.” The Northwood Times during the past school | year has fought the battles common to most school | publications. Fall term they had no home. After | a term of getting in everyone’s way in the North- | wood print shop the complaints became so loud | and so numerous that building and grounds man Tom Beale finally found a place in the “boiler room” of Jordan Hall. Times staffer Steve Smith . describes the tribulations of an orphan news staff: “The Northwood Times and yearbook staffs have finally found a place to call home—North- wood’s furnace room in downstairs Jordon Hall. It was once suggested that a partition be erected in the downstairs corner of Jordon near Mr. Fossum’s office, but that never got off the drawing board. The Art department couldn’t relinquish even a corner of the ceramics room to the Times (I ask you, is a paper less important than a lopsided clay pot?) The newspaper staff and the yearbook staff are happy to announce that they finally have a | place to hang their hats. They share an empty room in the furnace and power section of Jordan Hall. There is a large open window in the back through which snow, leaves, and stray co-eds filter, along with astronomical amounts of cold air. At present there is great agitation for a par- tition to be put up to keep out the winter drafts. There are rumors that if they don’t get it, they plan to lock themselves in the furnace room, pull the main power switch and hold out until they get their own way. (The partition was erected and everything became cozy and comfortable.) Staff members during the year were Cindy Evelth, fall term editor; Marc White, fall term and winter sports editor; Sue Whiting, fall term women’s editor; Scott Sherk, photographer; John Knysz, advertising manager; Kathy Mulrooney, circulation manager; Matt Rohder, Chuck Brien, Linell Vines, Steve Webb, Tom Newton, Rod Heintz, Tom Katsoulis, Bob France, Hugh Nut- ting, automotive editor; Bill Mullane. oo

Yearbook Staff “aie Carol Hook—Secretary 54 Linell Vines — Editor First of all we of the yearbook staff would like to thank everyone who has aided us, es- pecially Donald Burchard and Kay Murphy, without whom there would be no book. We would also like to express our thanks for the patience and kindness given us by Inter-Collegiate Press. A yearbook should be a reflection of the school for which it is made and we hope we have provided an accurate reflection of Northwood, one that will be valued always. Scott Sherk — Photographer
