tories. However, with the incrcoscd ottention given to housing through the building of temporary dorms and the Flavct villages, the utilization of the air base and trailers, we decided to use more space for this phase of campus life. In the humor section we gave a new twist. After poking fun at POLICE GAZETTE and LOOK in past years, we decided to satirize the SEMINOLE. We call this little jest the PAPOOSE. A word about student publications ... as we see it, the biggest problems facing this activity are the lack of sufficient funds in these times of high production costs, the too few students willing to put forth the sincere effort and hard work year after year to maintain first-rate publications, and the fact that the editors and business managers of campus publications arc elected by an often confused student body, unaware of the technical knowledge of the candidates. Suggested remedies for these bottlenecks arc the raising of student activity fees, the installation of a system of promotions for deserving workers, and the making of publication positions requiring technical ability appointive rather than elective. The Board of Student Publications . . . has been very co-operative ... the assistance given by the Chairman and Secretary has been especially commendable. However, we feel that a full time faculty publications advisor ... a man trained in every phase of student publications . . . would be invaluable to student publications at the University of Florida. In years hence when you are thumbing through these pages and reading these words, we hope that these mere phrases will be realities. When our artist submitted the sketch that appears with this article, I failed to realize its real significance ... I do now! When at long last the staff of the 1947 Seminole emerged from the catacombs of Florida Union, we left with the hope that we had given you a book in which you could find many hours of enjoyment. This book is testimony of how well we succeeded. . . . Page 11

EDITOR'S NOTE: A yearbook is judged . .. not by what it has in common with other yearbooks . . . but by the originality of the ideas it expresses. This principle has guided us in our planning and executing of the 1947 SEMINOLE. We have attempted to portray all phases of college life ... to present each phase in its entirety with the hope of showing its relationship ... to the overall picture of our life at the University of Florida. In doing this we have broken down the divisions of the book accordingly. In the colleges section instead of listing seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen as such, we felt that putting each student in his respective college was in keeping with our presentation of the component parts of college life. The various colleges and schools arc introduced by a large picture of the building which most represents it . . . the art theme is in keeping with the college .. . and the various organizations that pertain to the college or school is placed in the section. This was done to give a better understanding of the colleges in their relation to the university. Activities . . . here are the highlights of the 1946-47 school year . . . student government, military, publications, beauty .. . and a pictorial-story type of coverage of features. In spite of a disastrous football season, we believe that football is coming of age at the University of Florida . . . and with eternal faith in the boys that wear the orange and blue, we inaugurated the policy of devoting a full page to each football contest. Heretofore, little space has been devoted to the dormi- Page 10
