EDITOR ' S PAGE REFLECTION IN YOUR EYES FOR MAL DEH YDE onetimes even I ' m not sure if I ' m coming or going. Progress is the key. Learn from the past. Live for the future. Today gets lost in the shuffle from here to there. Buy that logic? I never have. Capricorns never do. My goal has been to inspire a new generation of high school and college yearbooks breaking from the traditional norms and established routines of the past. Have I succeeded? Only time will tell. But if the awards and citations and signals of late are any indication, a better day is If I were you, I would trust in me Jike I trust in you. Rich- ard Capone and Robert J. Kato. coming. Fast. Since becoming editor-in- chief of the Blue Gold at the end of my freshman year, I have transformed a 9x12, 496 pg. yearbook with 7% color cover- age into a 9x9, 400 pg. book with 19% color coverage into an 8 V4xll. 212 pg. book with 74% color coverage, complete with full-color dust jacket. Before I knew it, it was time to begin work on Yearbook 1989. The time had come to creatively out- do myself . . . again. FORMALDEHYDE is the re- sult of a summer ' s worth of end- less brainstorming, daydream- ing, magazine shredding, and oh-so-careful planning. The concept? A post-modernistic publication intended to inspire a new generation of high school and college yearbooks breaking from the traditional norms and established routines of the past. Sound familiar? Can ' t really say more. Remember: Never apol- ogize, never explain. I bring to this effort a variety of journalism experience in- cluding positions as editor-in- chief of UC Berkeley ' s Blue Gold yearbook; editor of UC Berkeley ' s current interest jour- nal The Record; production in- tern with Viacom Cablevision of San Francisco; editorial intern with Bay Area poetry review and literary calendar Poetry Flash; and editorial assistant with two well-known national publications, Newsweek and Working Woman magazines. But as with any top notch effort, I could never have pulled this one off completely on my own. Really. The staff helping to put this book together was one of the best I ' ve ever worked with. Thank you one and all! I ap- preciate your cooperation, cre- ativity, motivation, and profes- sionality. Deserving of extra special thanks and praise is Richard William Capone, my devoted assistant, friend, cre- ative partner, protege. I thank the powers-that-be for bringing you into my life, and I wish you all the best for a successful Yearbook 1990 and in every- thing you do. You ' re the great- est, and so is our book!

LIVING CAL by Laura Bass V isualize a Disneyland of tie-dyed street people, peace-loving punksters, intellectual coffee-drinkers, and book-toting students of every conceivable hue and persuasion . . . this is UC Berkeley, perhaps the craziest place on earth To say that this little refuge from the so- called sane world is unique would be an understatement. It ' s almost unnatural that this upstanding university should be the seat of such a wide and wild variety of ideas, lifestyles, and viewpoints (not to mention political unrest, past and present). Is there no law forbidding this? FALL 5
