Her name is Jeanne Shirk. She was cho¬ sen by Bandleader Johnnie Davis from a field of six candidates. Jeanne is an elementary education major and plans to teach upon graduation. She lives with her par¬ ents at 1552 E. Enlow Avenue (phone number is 4-8388). ST A The 1950 LinC staff was small and for the most part inexperienced. But hard work made up for the shortage of members and determination compensated for the lack of experience. The staff was made up of Bill Cobb, editor; Bill Collins, assistant editor; Jo Ann James, business man¬ ager; Sam Wherry, photog¬ rapher; Juna Howard, ar¬ tist; and Charles Greer, Bob Bammer, Fred Shatara, Paul Nichols, Sue Dannettell and Joyce Halbig. Special mention for contri¬ butions toward this issue of the LinC goes to Harold Van Winkle, director of public relations, for his as¬ sistance both on the copy U Q ' ■ FF in certain stories and for the loan of certain pictures which he so willingly placed at the disposal of the staff; to the Keller-Crescent Print¬ ing Company, 24 Southeast Riverside Drive, which turned out a fine piece of work although the line of communication between its offices and the college was at times loaded with static and misunderstanding; to the Phototone Cover Com¬ pany of Passaic, New Jer¬ sey, which completed an excellent cover design. The senior pictures were taken by Hugh Hazelrigg who had the problem of pacifying those who were both late and early for ap¬ pointments at his studio.

V SPEAKING OF LINC ...Makeup of book changes for title BILL COBB Editor JO ANN JAMES Business Manager BILL COLLINS Assistant Editor SAM WHEBRY Photographer The 1950 LinC staff has attempted to present something different in yearbook design. The style and theme of this year ' s book have been changed to fit the title. The word LinC when broken down means “Life in College.” We felt that a proper portrayal of life in college called for a new and distinctive theme. The first big problem, then, was that of determining what theme to use. Many publications were studied and it was decided that LIFE MAGAZINE most nearly approximated our idea of a yearbook theme. The summer months of 1949 were spent drawing up two preliminary dum¬ mies, following LIFE style. When com¬ pleted these dummies were turned over to the publisher for cost estimates. The next step was that of preparing a final dummy, combining the two ini¬ tial ones, to be used in making copy and photography assignments and for general planning purposes. Many ideas expressed in the original dummy had to be altered, and in some cases completely cut out, because of the cost. We had hoped to use color, for example, but that would have upped our expenditures too much. The makeup of the 1950 LinC is un¬ like that of any past college annual. Simply being different does not make it good. But we hope that we have done more than produce an unusual year¬ book. The 1950 LinC, we feel, gives a complete, over-all coverage of campus life—and does so in an interesting, color¬ ful manner. Long hours have been spent studying the style of writing found in LIFE. We have tried to duplicate the sharp, punchy copy which has helped to put LIFE in the respected position it now holds. We have included several new fea¬ tures and have incorporated most of LIFE’s standard sections. Among the new features in the 1950 LinC are: Picture of the Year, Play of the Year, editorial page, LinC Queen, Women in Sports, and several LinC Visits and LinC Reports sections. The book has been planned with the idea of letting pictures, more than copy, tell the story of a particular event. Con¬ sequently, the 1950 LinC contains near¬ ly twice as many pictures as any past LinC, and almost as much copy, the number of pages having been increased to 144. We proudly give you the 1950 LinC— your annual. We hope that you like it. A 1 — (oS I CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE 3
