ROBERT BANKS, Ealitor-in-Cbicf of the paper, very capably assisted by Circu- lation Manager, Charlie Phipard. An innovation this year was the addition to the Gazette staff of a regular artist, Wil- lard Levitas, Who filled this post admirably. His wit and ability to translate it into sketches added a lot to those issues to which he contributed. It takes an editor Who can organize things e-galley slaves FRED LASHNITS, Busincxs Manager quickly to produce a weekly edition full of the kind of things that will satisfy the Thurs- day morning readers, but the best editor Who ever sat behind the copy table couldn,t operate long Without a reliable staff.

THE Gazette EDITORIAL BOARWthey keep us posted The Gazette was in its thirty-sixth year in September of last semester and in most able hands. Bob Banks was at the helm and oHered a series, as he had the previous spring, of weekly editions that proved to be well- accepted by his reading public.

Week after week a new, different and interesting Gazette was published. On his staff Bob had some of the most capable assistants an editor could ask for. The venerable threebeKurtz, Smith and Meredith-showed up regularly to see the how and why of the task and to help as they could.

Fred Lashnits handled the business affairs THE CIRCULATION MANAcERs-they get it around

No project on the campus entails so much planning, organizing and worrying as the annual year- book. No other project, excepting the weekly newspaper, depends so much upon the common sense and resourcefulness of the editor and the staff. The Upsalite is truly a publication of, by, and for the student body, as any staff member can testify. Arthur Shara, for ex- ample could speak about lugging the pho- tographefs tripod and camera around from THE Upsalitc EDI- TORIAL BOARD e they saw it through Eigny-fuur Old Main to Commons, from Commons to Kenbrook Hall, and back. Gail Masom had both her hands and her notebook full, giv- ing out and taking in assignments. Rhoda Scher pestered Seniors for material on their personals. Barbara Finney typed until her fingertips had callouses, While her sister Ginny gave all the orders, and especially ordered Juergensen to order specific orders. Schedules were made, remade, abandoned, and hnally carried out as originally planned. The assistant editors know what it means to wade through write-up after write-up until
