unnuul A-nunnvlnn 124 SPECTRUMeEarly in the academic year, en- thusiasm was generated for a campus newspaper. Because university financial and faculty support for such a project was not available, interested stu- dents formed a self-supporting, non-profit corpo- ration.

Members of the Spectrum staff included: Phil Pearlman, editor-inachief; KC Westburg, news ed- itor; David Cooksy, opinion editor; Amanda Spake, feature editor; Floyd Norris, sports editor; Don David, business editor; Alan Allbright and Jim Sullivan, photography. Staff members included: Margie Stillman, Andi Graham, Rob Holland and Bruce Golino.
