At the beginning of the year the Showme succeeded in obtaining O. 0. Mclntyre, famous New York columnist, to accept the honorary title of Godfather of the publication. The Missouri Showme is published by the Missouri Chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity. The magazine is edited and managed entirely by students, the staff being chosen from almost every department and school in the University. The year 1931-32 saw the development of a Showme Consciousness. At the beginning of the second semester of this year, the Showme moved its editorial and business offices from the Herald-Statesman Publishing Company to 14 South Ninth Street, where the favorable location and window displays brought the magazine and its workers to light. Outstanding among the ten issues of the 1931-32 magazines were the Blue Book Examination number, depicting a humor- ous type of examination and containing something about 400 students; The Co-ed number, glorifying the co-ed; and the Circus number, which presented a humorous slant at the Big-Show known as the University, with fraternity and sorority side-shows.

ji ijKP THE COLLEGE FARMER i I i THE STAFF Walter W. John Harold R. Alley Leland S. Ryan Editor Business Manager Circulation Manager FOR twenty-five years the College Farmer has been published by students in the College of Agriculture. It is managed solely by the student staff elected each year from the Ag Club members and is supported entirely through advertising and sub- scription receipts. Nine issues are published throughout each school year, containing feature articles by students, professors, and alumni; news of the student activities; faculty notes; and departmental features. It is a member of Agricultural College Magazines Association. Walter John This magazine was begun in 1904 under the name Missouri Agricultural College Farmer, and was handled chiefly as a technical farm magazine. Notes were taken on classroom lectures and published as educational features. Publication was discontinued for three years from 1918-1921, but was resumed again as The College Farmer with a different purpose, that of featuring Ag Club activities and campus news. The March issue in 1932 marked the Silver Anniversary of its beginning. The College Farmer devotes considerable space to Barnwarmin ' and Farmers ' Fair, the two other major activities of the Ag School. One page of each number is used for 4-H Club and vocational agriculture news. The subscription list includes several hundred high schools in Missouri, farmers, alumni, and undergraduate students in Agriculture.

Nelson Ed Ellis Editor Associate Editor Managing Editor Copy Editors Sports Editor Junior Assistants Sophomore Assistants AS THE official student newspaper of the University, the ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ■ ' ° ' Missouri Student attempts to promote the best interests of the Student Body in every possible way. Its main objective is to print student opinion on all issues confronting the students and to take a stand in behalf of the students, when the occasion warrants such action. Essentially non-political in character, the Student has maintained an independent attitude both in its editorial columns and its selection of staff members. Although it is under the control of the Student Council, the editor is almost entirely free to choose his assistants and the editorial policy. The Council exercises its control through the Advisory Board made up of four Council members and a student chosen at large. The editor is a non-voting but otherwise regular member of the Council. There is no faculty censorship or control. During the first semester the paper was distributed each Wednesday evening to every student enrolled in the University. The retrenchment program of the University caused withdrawal of support from that quarter and made it necessary to sell subscriptions in order to secure the finan- cial backing for the second semester. That it secured a circulation numbering more than one- half of the students is proof of its popularity as a campus news sheet.
