The Fourth Estate C-oldenGater It happened one day in the tall ot l94I. The Golden Gater, your campus newspaper, received a notice trom the Associated Collegiate Press headquarters stating that it had won a tirst class honor rating. With this thought in mind, Editor Jack Lynch and Managing Editors George Ruge and Ray Berns made many wondertul plans tor the tuture. Next day these boys returned to school to tind the Golden Gater ottice the victim ot a disastrous tire. At tirst there was talk ot abolishing the Gater, as there was no place where the editors could operate. - But, with the tenacity ot a Boston bull terrier the hardy journalists came bouncing back and they put out an increasingly better paper than had been seen on the campus in a long while. Betore the semester was over, war broke out and many ot the men on the statt positions lett tor the tront. Jack Conway, Walter Addiego's successor as sports editor, lett tor the Navy: Sher- man Grant, city editor, went to Texas where he is now an instructor on the Link trainers and Per- sonnel Manager Ray Lang hopped aboard a ship tor the Panama Canal where he is serving Uncle Sam as a buck private. Finishing out the semester were Dorothy Martin, business manager: Bill Marrinan, teature editor, and Louis Repetto, sports editor. N EW SEM ESTER When the end ot the semester came and the new editors were announced, it was tound that 4 I Top row: Jacl: Lynch, editor: John Thomas, business man- ager: Louise Winter, feature editor: Paul Scholten, sports editor. Middle row: lstandingj Scholten, Blum, Raphael, Roddy, Middleton, Hourcade, Salinger: jseatedj Howard, Winter, Repetto, Thomas, Nahman, Gyselbrecht. Bottom row: Louis Repetto, managing editor tspringt: George Ruge, managing editor tfalli: Kenny Young, Fog editor: Jo Myer, director ot publication jtallt. i'l7 only one man was lett trom the old regime. Jack Lynch was reappointed editor: Louis Repetto was selected as managing editor: Paul Scholten and Terry Kilpatrick were assigned to the sports desk: Louis Winter and Richard Wallace took over the teature page: Virginia Howard was elected to the post ot exchange editor: John Thomas was put in charge ot the tinances, and June Gysel- brecht was intrusted with the circulation manager- ship. These new people in the main statt positions injected new lite into the Gater and started to hit the old deadline. To prove this point we enclose a quote trom one ot the taculty members, The Gater has im- proved lately in nearly every respect. It is a real credit to the College. This was not always true in the past. Fog Two years ago Jo Ashlock Myer, Sherman Grant, and Bert Alward revived Chaser, the untortunate humor magazine, under a new name Fog, with a cultural approach. However, the jinx on such attempts and the overhead deteated them. Kenny Young, analyzed these two tailures and came up with a plan tor a spectacular mixture ot comedy and culture. He was told that the adver- tising would have to cover the cost betore the publication could go to press. John Thomas, the business manager, worked teverishly tor two months and things were shaping up nicely. Then the Gater needed these journal- ists and needed them badly. The Gater won and the boys had to give up the whole idea. Now Kenny is student body president and John is the business manager ot the Gater, so Fog is out in the cold.
