A WORD PEEASE W he University of Alaska ' s Yearbook, the DENALI, has been slowly dying for the past five ■ years. Each year the book has been reaching the students at a progressively later date. The 1967 yearbook, for instance, will not be in the hands of students until late January 1968. This is the sad state of affairs which we are trying to correct this year. We, of the 1968 staff, feel that the University of Alaska must keep pace with the rest of the universities and colleges ' Down Below ' and show them the pioneer spirit that has made our state unique. For this reason we are bringing out a four section yearbook in a modified magazine style. This approach will help us explore the university and its many related areas in a more complete manner. Not only will the DENALI be a photo album that carries the activities of the year, it will, we hope, help you better understand the workings of our university. We, of course, realize that a proposal to change the standard yearbook to a magazine style four-sectioned yearbook was voted down by the student body last year. However, we believe it was voted down because the proposal also carried the misunderstanding that this approach would eliminate class photos. This will not be the case. We will include these pictures in our fourth section. You will also receive a yearbook style cover in which you can put your magazine sections. The four sections and the binder will be in your hands before you leave in May. No longer will you have to wait almost a year and a half to receive the yearbook that you paid for in September. By changing our format we have been able to impose stricter deadlines and our staff has responded to the pressures admirably. A standard yearbook imposes no such pressure and the result is a mad rush to complete the book at the end of the school year. This rush not only delays the yearbook, but gives the book a sloppy, thrown-together look. We hope our new format will help eliminate both these faults. We want the students to be proud of our university. We want to give you a quality yearbook that you will be able to show your friends and not feel ashamed. We hope you accept this new format with an open mind and with a true Alaskan individualist approach, and that you will give us a chance to show you what we can do for you. We will appreciate any constructive criticism of this our first issue and hope that you will come in and talk with us so we can make our second issue an even better one. Richard R. Arab Denali Editor
