THE END THE BEGINNING A SHORT MESSAGE FROM THE EDITORS, Welcome to another edition of the Templar Annual. After many days and nights of working and procrastinating, the Templar is finally complete. Editor ' s letters are usually generic — filled with remember whens, thank-yous, and, of course, lamentations about all the hard work and long hours necessary to get the job done. So, we here at the Templar have decided to be completely honest about our experiences this year. The Templar is always a project, but it is also a learning experience and a great time. Many days and nights were spent gossiping in the office, dreaming of a cold beer, and chatting on the phone to friends. Occasionally we burdened our advisor with minor crises, avoided phone calls, and sat around eating food from SAC, worrying that this thing would never get done. But since you ' re read- ing this, we obviously did some work. Now that all of our visions for the 1999 Templar have become a reality, we hope you enjoy the book, edited by the world record holder for yawning and a sorority girl. Good luck and best wishes.
