'5 E H a ,9- ke ot n- or ple VY .6- uo an is to on nd :at he ou sh- ice all ff Twenty years of progress might well be the slogan of the 1952-53 University News. The student publication originated shortly after the founding of the University in 1933 under the name Univer- sity Crest. It was a small paper, 'but a lively one, re- flecting the character of the University struggling through its earliest growing pains. However, the Crest had a brief life, and was soon re- placed by the University News in 1935. From its early history un- til today the paper has been a varied one-changing from year to year to suit the tem- perament of each individual editor and match the g1'oWth of a maturing institution. From a publication for 200 students it became a publica- tion for 1200. From a bi- monthly it became a weekly. From a paper for the Liberal Arts college it also beca-me a paper for Dental, Law, and Pharmacy schools. After twenty years the growth has yet to reach com- pletion. Certainly in the future the University News will change from a weekly to a daily, serving a much larger number of readers plus probable medical and busi- ness schools. Changes in the campus will necessitate equal changes in the University News-they will be gradual but perma- nent. Who can say what the U-News of twenty years from now will resemble? It will certainly be differ- ent from ours as ours is dif- ferent from the Crest. Vol- ume 43520 of the U-News will be merely a bound collection of memories twenty years from now. Yet it will also have been an important link in the formation of the future University News. iii- BARBARA BARNARD if 10304-' Circulation Manager Writing out registration blanks in quadruplicate has filled many a college youth with the desire for govern- ment work.

Students will probably have to buy S50 gambling permits in order to check out a deck of cards in the Roost. 'f ,sci . 5' ,a 5.4 P 1- , Sk Miss HELEN CRISSMAN 5 A Publications Advisor 21

As usual we were hampered by a limited budget but student partici- pation and interest made up for the deficit We strove for modern malce up, accurate reporting, and subiective editorials. We fried 'ro build a crusading paper-but not a sensational one. Above all, we attempted to give the University a paper which would appeal 'ro every student These were the ideals envis- ioned by the U-News staff a+ the beginning of the year. lt is up 'ro our readers to decide whether or not we have realized these goals. The Edifor 20 111-s Snafu gl-1: Here's a little ditty we snatched out of one of the neighboring college papers: They parted at the corner. She whispered with a sigh, I'll be home tomorrow night. He answered, So will I. Marilyn Monroe snaps up a job as judge in the Miss America contest, and seemed filled with humility when every man present admired her badge. l e in l MARY ANN WILFLEY Assistant Editor King Kong is back, which proves that movies are better than ever? Freshman orientation par- ticipants will get an example of tolerance from the OX- Bow Incident. Could be the administration wants to ap- pease the rebellious lot in case tuition should go up an- other couple of bucks. And here we are in the middle of Greek week and fraternities and sororities are rushing full speed ahead. It's only a hard rudder to star- board and two knots up river to Heck week when things really begin rolling. CExcuse substitution of heck as one of the niceties of journalismj The local fraternity is pledging I. J. Smedley, who hasn't got much on the ball but can mix purple passion like an expert. BOB 0'BYRNE Sports Editor Answer of the week to a Purple Passion party fre- quenter: It may taste like grapefruit juice, but it's got more punch! Our contribution to Num- ber 1, campus substitute for the New Yorker, is a little ditty we lended the borrowy of from Pogo I likes squash pie And slimy slugs, But best of all Is skooshin' bugs. Campus politicians are re- cruiting members for the Quo Vadis political party. Slogan of the week is, Our hero is Nero. Which only goes to show that for the best cotton pickin' Coliseum contests and military glory you can't beat the old Roman empire. The party also advocates that you clean out corruption in Wash- ington by burning the place down. His opponents call Nero a lyre. MIKE HALL Business Manager
