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
