Carnations, rallies entertain students Finding clubs to sell concessions, jug- gling the school calender so club events wouldn't conflict with school activities, and publicizing school events were a few of the tasks tackled by the ASB. Approving club decisions was put aside for a day as ASB. students attended a leadership conference in Solvang, made possible through Santa and carnation deliveries, concession and homecoming proceeds. Early in December the nine justices of the Student Court declared unconstitu- tional a sexist school law restricting females from being elected as Sergeant-at- Arms. This decision made students realize that Student Court is what the name implies, for the student. Signs and spirit ribbons saturated the school each week as the rally club gener- ated school spirit through the students, and students gladly welcomed the rallies presented by the club.

l 5 Anger, joy for Legend staffers At least I won't have to walk to school, chimed Leslie Durschinger after a 6 A.M. late night. Such optimism tended to decrease as pressures of deadlines increased, and staff members ate their vow of There'll be no late nights for me. Blurry eyes and exhausted senses of humor, however, failed to weaken the staff's compulsion to equal or better the A rating of the 1975 Lancer Legend. Along with working to improve traditional techniques, staff members initiated new copy and lay-out styles in both the aca- demics and advertising sections. Emotional relief far exceeding that of finishing a term paper or class project helped make the 20,000 student hours of work almost feel worthwhile. Seeing their efforts in print at the annual yearbook bar- beque completed this feeling, and brought forth some previously unknown pride and exuberance. As the book was completed it hardly seemed like almost a year ago that the Lancer Legend recruits began work towards their final deadline. In the sum- mer of '75, six staffers and advisor Bill Csel- lak, all clad in soon-to-be notorious green tee-shirts, made themselves known at the week long Santa Barbara Yearbook Confer- ence. To help finance the conference, and more importantly, to help meet an 518,000 budget, students combed the town for ads, thus marking the start of 12 months of week-end meetings, ad campaigns, sore feet and empty gas tanks that were the result of running around town and cam- pus, licorice Duets that nourished late- nighters, yellowed hands from grease pen- cils, head-aches, and even tears -tears of frustration, tears of joy.
