Miller cc 'News' EELERV' A pica rule slams on the deslc as the harried Editor-in-Chief cries for assist- ance. Seconds later, a squad of eager young Freshmen are at his desk, waiting to fulfill his every wish. Nearby, the Editorial Editor is remalcing his layout for the fifth time in one issue, trying desperately to avoid copying any one of the layouts of the last thirty years. A few diehard reporters are still grinding out their stories, and the Managing Editor is turn- ing out headline after headline-each one a bit more impossible than the one before. The faith- ful Copy Editor, finding himself with no copy to read, resorts to a vigorous game of 'News' base- ball. About 10 p.m. or so, someone announces that he is hungry, and before long the entire staff is piling into a small, gray Vauxhall for the evening trip to the Shoppes. It will be another all night deadline. Despite the sometimes casual attitude of this year's staff, the paper always came out, more or less on schedule, and even won a Medalist rating in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association's annual contest. The 'News' scored 960 points out of a possible 1,000-17 points higher than the previous year's score. Hopefully, this year's 'News' provided the School with a first-class publication. But just as important, it gave a dedicated group of boys an opportunity to work together and ro learn about journalism. -MARK HALLER 96 ACTIVITIES 1963

-' -1 away passed a noncontroversial position requiring nations, in arrears of their payments, to lose their votes in the General Assembly in accordance with the United Nations charter provisions. The big issue was Red China, and the Liberals split on it. Bennett refused to side with either faction and his unrelated bill dealing with the U.N.'S role in the US. foreign aid program was defeated. Midyear exams cut out most of January. The Class analyzed the performance of the Presi- dent in handling various problems. Opinions on the subject ranged from good to fair. Foreign aid was next issue which the Class debated. Guy passed two resolutions, while Ben- nett, Gray James, Dan Amory, and Mike Reuss each passed one. Day,s position that the US. extend economic aid to Red China was the only bill defeated. A nonpartisan issue on whether democracy can prevail in the world produced no solution. The Class defeated both Guy's resolution that it would not prevail and Bennett's position that it would. The last issue of the year is the role of the Federal Government in welfare programs. So far, bills have been presented by Don Becker, Bennett, Guy, Roger Lebovitz, and Frank Snowden. In addition, Hardaway and Jim Kreuttner are co-sponsoring another bill under the leadership of Amory, Reston and Reuss. Next year should prove to be one of the best years ever. Few of the stalwarts of either party are graduating. Furthermore, a library suggested by Mrs. Guy will go into its first full year of operation. Some of the main supporters of the Conservative party this year were Becker, I-laller, Hardaway, Kreuttner, and Lebovitz. Outstanding Liberals were Amory, Day, Jones, Reston, Reuss, and Jim Wright. -TAP BENNETT MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNMENT CLASS AMORY HARDAWAY RESTON BECKER I-IARDING REUSS BENNETT HUNDT REYNOLDS BIBLE JAMES ROGERS BORDA JONES ROLLINGS BRADLEY KREUTTNER SNOWDEN C1-IEYEITZ LEBOVITZ STEELE CORNELL, LEVA STOW DAY LOFTUS, T.
