LINC STAFF CONTINUED STAFF AT WORK Under a policy instituted last year, the Publications Committee instead of the student body now chooses the edi¬ tor and business manager of the LinC. Bill Cobb, editor, is a journalism major with experience on the Crescent, campus newspaper. Bill Collins, assist¬ ant editor and a journalism major, also served on the Crescent. Jo Ann James, business manager, is a business administration major who has filled the positions of managing and news editor on the Crescent. Sam Wherry, photographer, is completing his third year in that capacity. John A. Boyd is faculty adviser for the LinC. Juna Howard, artist, is an art major who volunteered to do LinC art work. JUNA HOWABD Artist JOHN A. BOYD Adviser EARLY LAST SEPTEMBER Editor Bill Cobb met with Bill Collins, Bob Bammer, Charles Greer, Fred Shatara, and Paul Nichols to plan the 1950 LinC. Although not appear¬ ing until May, page makeup, picture taking, and the plan¬ ning of the general theme begins almost a year in advance. The 1950 LinC attempts to take the reader through a school year by telling the story with pictures. Some of the copy and pictures for the LinC had to be sent to the down¬ town printers as early as last December. Since many of the school year’s social and athletic as well as scholastic and honorary events happen during the latter part of the winter quarter and early in the spring quarter, the staff must plan the book with continuity and good coverage both in mind. Work for the staff begins with gathering facts, writing copy, and identifying people in pictures. Later comes copy¬ reading and proofreading of each other’s writings, and finally pasting up of dummy pages to see if sizes of pictures and lengths of stories have been figured correctly. Although some students volunteer to work on the LinC, most staff members are either journalism or education majors en¬ rolled in special publications courses for experience in the field in which they expect to work upon graduation. 4

FOUR-YEAR-OLD DREAM OF STUDENTS, FACULTY AND COMMUNITY MATERIALIZES AS CONSTRUCTION OF UNION BEGINS. UNION BUILDING McCurdy memorial to aid student social life activities on campus Early in 1943 the thirty-six member Board of Trustees realized the immediate need for construction of a center for student social-education life. The initial step was that of raising funds with which to finance the structure. A vigorous campaign was initiated. Alumni and general public contributions began to pour in. Several local industrial plants recognized the need for the construction as well as the benefits which could be derived from making contributions, and their donations were of great aid. Publicity, screened by Harold Van Winkle, Public Re¬ lations boss, was stepped up to a high tempo. Pamphlets and folders, designed and printed by Mr. Van Winkle and his staff, announced to the public the advantage of having a Union Building on campus. The public agreed; and do¬ nations piled up. At last the dream became a reality. The college ' s program of social education has been hand¬ icapped by lack of space. In 1946 a former Red Cross canteen was dumped on the campus, an addition was later made, and it was called the Temporary Union Building. The TUB has served a useful purpose by providing a place where students could find supervised recreation and gos¬ sip with buddies. The new Union will relieve pressure on other campus buildings. The women’s lounge, for example, will be moved from the administration building, making available much needed space for the expansion of the library. By November, 1949, construction was well underway and approximately $570,000 had been raised. Another $50,000 was needed for furnishing the new building. K TV '
