The Board of Managers looks casual as they group behind President Tway and Secretary Williams. 7fae Board af fucmagead - Y fnelfu in Qaeifzman Qaienlajian Highly active in the fall, the Board of Man- agers spends most of the rest of the year remi- niscing about their accomplishments. Made up of representatives from the Mountebanks, Idol, Concordiensis, GARNET, International Re- lations Club, Philomathean Society, Christian Association, Cuting Club, Radio Society, Glee Club, Band, and Student Tax Committee, the group functions under the guidance ol' Advisor Wilfred H. Ketz. This year, the Board of Managers met on alternate Tuesdays, rotating with the Student Council, and took full advantage of its con- stitution-given right of making recommenda- tions to the latter governmental body. In turn, when the Student Council was faced with such menial tasks as organizing activi- ties for Alumni Homecoming Weekend, it recommended that the Board of Managers assume the responsibility. In this particular situation, all of the major activities on campus arranged open houses at their offices but were greeted by an alumni-less campus. The Glee Club arranged a concert for the weekend, which they sang even though. the singing group outnumbered the audience of stray stu- dents. In the future, however, it is felt that any alumni that may return will be even more appreciated and will 'be treated to a more spectacular show. Jack Tway served as President during the past year, assisted by Roger Williams as Secre- tary. Among the more active members was Bernard McGovern, who organized and for the main part carried out the new Freshman Orientation program. It is in this orientation work that the Board of Nlanagers demonstrates its usefulness. As- signing an upper-class advisor to each enter- ing freshman in the summer, the Boardis com- mittee continues its work through most of the fall as it keeps the advisors active in their campus aid. In this activity, the Board of Managers performs an essential work at Union. Page Twenty-five

'7fze aefuiai Who is Zip Glotz? A poll was conducted on cam-pus on Novemlber 13th and Zip Glotz was known by only three people, a G.E. vice- president speaking 'in chapel, a ware salesman peddling his wares, and an old woman of ninety, whose mind was crammed with many facts, flashlight in hand picking worms for bait. On November 17th another poll was taken and the name Zip Glotz was still shrouded in ignorance. In the interim Zip Glotz had visited the campus unnoticed, un- acclairned and unheraldecl. 'What does the Page Twenty-four name Zip Glotz mean to you individually? As the third trombonist in 'Sam Donaliuds musical organization, Zip Glotz stands as a symbol in the hearts and minds of many. In his own little way, he contributed generously to the Interfraternity Council's Gridiron Ball. Zip Glotz stands as a symbol of the music, the laughter, the gayety, and the tenderness, the sweet memories of that week-end. Zip Glotz is symbolic of that vision of ethereal loveli- ness that materialized as your 'date on the majestic night. Zip Glotz stands a symbol of tribute to Elihu Modlin, chairman, his com- mittee, and all those who donated liberally of their time and energy. Zip Glotz is symibolic of all the cleverness, the ingenuity, the skill and talent employed by those who created the colorful and original Beat Hamilton dis- Zip Glotz in the eyes of many, the accompanying article in the eyes of many more. plays appearing on the campus Saturday. Zip Glotz is syrnlbolic ol' the greatness ol' Kappa Alpha who effortlessly paced the fraternities to win the coveted cup for the outstanding display. Though Zip Glotz may never appear ir1 the annals of history, he will long remain in the hearts of Union men as a symbol ol' the best fall prom of 1947. Three men who were questioned bow in ignorance. l , li

l Murray, Saxe, and Orick at work in the Concardiensis oflice. The Concordiensis, founded in 1877, is second in age among Union's publications only to the GARNET. At first it was primarily a literary publication, but it gradually evolved into a newspaper. Prior to the war the Con- cordiensis was issued on a semi-weekly basis, but during the war the staff was substantially reduced, and regular publication schedules were not maintained. Now that the paper is back on a regular footing, the semi-weekly plan could be reinstituted, but at the moment the costs are prohibitive, and will probably be so in the near future. Wm Gan 'endid 571:-:aka During the past year the Concordiensis has had its office redeeorated, has obtained several pieces of new equipment, and has improved the eHiciency of production. Au advisory board was set up to make recommendations for improved operating procedures, and to evolve a system under which students could start in their freshman year, and by taking various positions, gain the experience needed so that in their upperclass years they could take positions on the managing board. This year's managing board was headed by Lot H. Cooke, Jr., '48, managing editor, Craig Mitchell, '48, and business manager, Merton Sarnoff, '49. The other members of the board are Duncan Lasher, '49, sports editor, Orazio Ottaviano, '48, news editor replacing Robert Bartlett, '48, and Leslie deGroot, '48, circula- tion manager. Editorial policy of the Concordientis con- cerned 'itself mainly with campus issues. One of the most frequently recurring of these is the general apathy of the student body toward extra-curricular activities and athletic events. The Concordiensis has tried often in its edi- torials to point out that more student partici- pation in activities, and more interest in campus issues will work to everyone's advan- tage. Lasher, Sarnolf, Ottaviano, Cooke, DeGroot, and Mitchell watch the Concordiensis grow in campus controversies. Page Twenty-six
