x ffm tMEE . . s More than any other campus or- ganization, the Publications Board felt the end of an era in 1950-51. For one thing, enrollment dropped, which meant there were fewer per- sons to make news. In the second place, many veterans who had provided impetus with their matur- ity in the field of journalism at UBC, had graduated. The first big blow came at the beginning of the year when Vic Hay, named to head the Pub the year previous, failed to return. Lacking some credits necessary for him to begin his course in graduate studies, the department of veterans administration refused to pay his fees and grant and he was forced to withdraw. He announced his resignation at an emergency meet- ing of the editorial board and 92 wm editors lost no time in electing former sports editor Ray Frost to the Pub's highest post. Despite the early drawbacks and the necessary re-adjustments, editors and reporters continued to give students three papers a week which gained them honorable mention for news writing and editorials at the annual conference of the Canadian University Press in Ottawa, attend- ed by Editor Frost during the Christmas holidays. In addition to this, the Pub had the usual charges of high handedness and inconsidera- tion of the general student body hurled at it. Despite these the pub. managed to weather the storm with a closely knit editorial board. When he took over his post, Editor Frost was virtually an un- known quantity to students. Frost i'Raymond Herbert Frost lead the Publica- tions Board through a hectic year success- fully, despite a shortage of staff and money. Frost started his iournalistic career at Britannia High in Vancouver four years ago. During his first year on the campus he was Associate Sports Editor of the Ubyssey, the following year Sports Editor and was finally elected Editor-in- Chief after the resignation of Vic Hay last fall. uetfii Q f 4 r.
