Our change is again in format. In an attempt to stretch the small budget allocated to us we have cut back on the number of issues, (still printing the same number of pages as last year however) the amount of color used, and the number of paid staff members! writers and many of our first year people are not being paid.) Why the change? Because subscribers last year liked the magazine-yearbook better than the traditional yearbook. We sold more Quivers than ever before, 2,500 books. We were informed at the end of last semester that our allocated budget request was turned down and that the Allocations Committee had decided not to fund us. Reason? For one,the previous years Allocations Committee had suggested that we be allocated only half of the original amount for that year. (We asked for the full amount which seemed to insult them.) The second reason being, “The Quiver is supposed to become self-supporting. Thanks to Mark Mitchell, “The New Quiver” was allowed an emergency hearing of the committee. It was a long, hard naul but we were re-allocated half of our original request. This is not the place to explain all the reasons or issues involved in the death of the Quiver. It is my hope however, that our efforts have not been completely worthless. With a bit of luck and a lot of harcf work, hopefully what we have attempted here may be carried on in some other publication that will rise from our death.
