Bill Kinnard, Sports Editor, Bob Alfandre, Thatcher Clarke, Plerson Scott Mac- Lean, Sadaico Hayase, and Bob Gllltey, General Manager. CREDIT, SWARTHMDRE IVEWS HUREAU . . . . . . for having kept the press in general and the Phila- delphia papers in particular posted on goings-on at Swarthmore. Last January, Bob Gilkey took charge of things, removing a long-borne load from Jane Martin ' s shoulders. Using his experience gained working for Asso- ciated Press, he soon had the feature and sports divisions working — but efficiently — with carefully selected staffs and regular office hours. Collection speakers, folk festivals, Sigma Xi lectures, and visiting artists take up most of the time of feature writers. The news department covers adminstration and alumni news as well as faculty changes. Since Swarthmore fields eight varsity teams for men and ten for women, the sports staff is kept hopping too. hHome-town papers are always informed of any achievements by students. A clipping service keeps the News Bureau supplied with stores concerning Swarthmore which appear in the Tim- buctoo Times , or what you will. These are posted in Parrish and keep students up on all the latest. Each one of them is proof of the fact that this year the News Bureau, unlike many organizations, has shown itself vigorous, active, and really on the ball.

THAT FITS m Pnnt months, diminished in size but not in spirit. In November the bird burrowed out from under PAC cards and O ' Rourke campaign material to tame the shrew, recount tales of tranny , and report the Dies in- vestigation of Swarthmore Communist ac- tivity. The hiere today, gun tomorrow list grew, and Phoenix walls began to look legitimate again, with such immortal in- scriptions as Viva la Trotsky , Spare the Cola Ad and Clear Everything with Burnham , although old-timers longed for the comfort of dug saith the prophet . Spring found Jeanne Thels and Sue hHar- wig jointly wielding the editorial pencil, with Nancy Frick, Lada hlulka, Terry Lor- win, and Marilyn Rosen as junior eds, and Ed Galligan running sports. Campus Com- ment, April Fool issues, and heads like Rau- cous Roccatorso Rocks Again continued to give the rag an unmistakable and dis- tinct personality.

Twice a year, Swarthmore is made aware of the fact that there is a magazine called the Dodo, which isn ' t at all extinct. The editors, on the other hand, are aware of it most of the time, and it is to decrease this disparity that they labor. What would happen if nobody submitted anything? has been the anguished cry of the editor since time began. But her fears are partially allayed as the dead- line approaches, and out of the blue, the stuff trickles in. Contrary to opinions expressed in the past, the Dodo is not the exclusive vehicle to fame of the editorial staff. In olden times, the staff was composed of literary giants, but now we pride ourselves on being a well-rounded group. Poly Sci majors, it seems, can yell just as loudly as our highbrow members from the English department. Any one passing the Manager ' s parlor on noons when a meeting is in session couldn ' t miss the dull roar which graduates to a high pitched scream as discussion pro- gresses . . . and progresses . . . until finally, God knows why, there is a Dodo! dodo Nancy Frick, Spring Co-ediior with Bill Kinnard; Pat Jones, Winter Editor; Meg Gibbons, Winter Art Editor.
