GRIBBBN Board of Publications The Board of Publications cofordinates and serves the col' lege's four major publications. It conducts a campusfwide surf vey on the request of the editors and thereby analyzes and evaluates Stephens Life, weekly campus newspaper, Stephens Standard, literary magazine, Stephensophia, yearbook, and Within the Ivy, handbook for incoming students. These surveys remind each publication of what its readers are expecting and also give constructive criticism and suggestions to improve the publication. In November the Board of Publications cooperates with the faculty sponsors in choosing from the junior class the editor and staff of Within the Ivy. This year's editor was Marilyn Ehle. The Board puts out some minor publications, including hand' books explaining election procedures for spring and fall elections, a campus participation calendar listing different activities of the yearg a directory of all campus oflicers and the Stephens song book, containing both the traditional and the newlyfcomposed songs on campus. All money raised from these publications is put into the Board's operating fund for the following year. In the fall, for the Hrst time in the history of the Board, a convocation was held to acquaint new students with various campus publications. Each editor gave a brief resume of the paper or magazine she directed, duties of the participating girls and campus services performed by each publication. Different social activities were held throughout the year. Steak fries were held at the home of Mr. Fowler and the tradi- tional dinner honoring the staff of Within the Ivy was given in the spring.

Rrimnn HB COUNCIL of House Managers works in close cooperation with Legislature and takes responsibility for the uniication and enforcement of regulations in the halls. To accomplish its aims more effectively, the council has formed workshops composed of house managers for the purpose of informal discussions of hall problems. The importance of the council is evident, for a strong hall is partly determined by the effectiveness with which the rules and traditions of Stephens are upheld. The newlyfelected house managers from each hall select their chairman and secretary in the spring for the coming year. Oflicers for this year were Betty Ann Sipprelle, chairmang Carlyn Jewell, secretary, and Mrs. Louise Howell, sponsor. Assistant house managers are members of the council with no voting power.' Each year the ofiicial guide, a manual describing the duties of hall officers, is revised to meet changing conditions, This proves that a system of regulations may be designed to meet individual 2 19 O il ll' CZ' problems and yet may be reasonably uniform with respect to its major requirements. Each member of the council writes out the policies of her hall and makes a list of her own duties to inform the newly' elected house manager of her responsibilities. The lists of ref sponsibilities are compiled in a handbook at the end of the yearg one of these booklets is left in each hall for the incoming oflicer. BETTY ANN SIPPRELLE Page 22

HrssoNG, C. jot-1NsroN VERY Friday Stephens girls can be found reading the Voice of Stephens, or what is better known as the Stephens Life. The aim of this campus newspaper is to serve the college by prof moting good citizenship, publicizing worthy projects and by en' couraging students and faculty members through editorials to stay on their toes. Life editors and staff members endeavor to present news as completely and accurately as possible and to give both sides of every controversial issue. GERRY KATZ After a story is assigned to a reporter, written and handed in, it is read and checked by three or more editors. Next the headline is written and is sent with the story to the printer. When the galley proof is returned, the story is proofread. It has now progressed to the point where it is ready to be placed on the page and sent back to the printer for corrections. One day of every week is reserved by the editors for reading the page proofs at the printer's and checking once more for accuracy. Soon after this the story, together with many others, is being read by the entire campus. The editorfinfchief of Life is generally responsible for all phases and cofordination of production. The other editors are responsible for one or more specific phases of the work, such as ads, features, editorials or headline writing. All the editors with the sponsor determine the policy of the paper. Junior staff members are chosen from the journalism classes and from those not enrolled in the classes, but who are interested in working on the paper. From this staff are later chosen the new editors, selected for interest, ability and personality in working with people. Through their work on the Life, students gain valuable experience and knowledge about almost all phases of newspaper work and also gain better insight of human nature. The editorial staff this year was as follows: Geraldine Katz, editorfin-chief, Catherine Johnston, managing editorg Betty Lee Templeman, campus editor, Edwina Gardner, business manager, Page 24
