Norm Scull's hard working Idol staff. The Freshman Record is, in actuality, the year- book of the freshman class. It attempts to de- scribe freshman life dur- ing the first semester at Union. The stall hopes to publish a supplement to the Record this year, in order to complete the history of the class of '57 Pictured are: ALBERT LOF- FREDO, Assistantg ROGER COLLINS, Editor, A LB E RT BARSAMIAN, Assistant. Idol The IDOL found its ranks seriously depleted by the graduation of the Class of 1953. A large share of the work was done by Editor Norman Scull, Associate Editor Richard Herrmann, James Garrett and William Graves. The magazine suffered through part of the year without a Business Man- ager until senior Marc Donovan volunteered his services. The format of the magazine remained about the same as that established last year. Better aspects of the magazine included the St. Andrews' articles and the I.D. section. Freshman Record pq Qtr' fza

New editors and business managers must be both nom- inated and elected by the Board. Last year the Publications Board, among other things, decided to put a ban on liquor ads appear- i ing in the publications. This-combined fac- ulty-student group is indicative of the college attitude towards the importance of the extra- it 8.4 wi curricular in relation to the regular activities of the college.

'J This huge staff labored weekly to publish the Concordiensis. i 3 A Q 'iff CO CORDIENS S In February the Concordiensis entered its seventy-seventh year of publication, keeping its journalistic eyes on the past and the future as well as the present. For this year's staff, 1953-541 represents one link in the chain stretching back to 1877 when John Howard Paine put to bed the first issue of what is now the thirteenth oldest college news- paper in the United States. E243 The intervening years have given the Con- cordiensis a heritage of a high and continuing standard of journalistic excellence which the pres- ent staff has sought to uphold and carry forward. Time has reinforced the spirit to defend the hard- won freedom of the press, now under such vig- orous attack from both the left and right. Being aware of the vital center of responsible leadership, the Concordiensis has aimed at coop- eration with other student and administration leaders to promote the best interests of the college and the student body. In October, the staff publicized grievances over West College food prices by selling orange juice for the impossible price of Sc per glass, and making a profit of 318.25 in four days fwhich was subsequently used to help launch the Campus Chest drive in Januaryj.
