'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. Slightly Stupid, LA freshman, remarked that he was greatly disappointed when he discovered that the Chorus cards he got at registration were not free passes to the Follies.

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
