athey just wrote it not even the Camels, Chesterfields, and Old Golds hold out any longer. But the big boss has the real job. Negotia- tions and conferences With Ed Reisman and Professor Rudberg often last until 3 A.M. Endless calls and telegrams heap themselves upon her head with every page; and yet she,s got to keep her patience With that lazy lot of writers and typists. There is another thing that should not be forgotten: the Upsalitc does not merely de- Ramstead looks worricde whereis the money com- ing from? pend on the cooperation of its staffs. In- deed, every professor and student helps by being on time When scheduled for his pic- ture. This is everybody,s book. But then without the hard work of the business staff under A1 Ramstead-the I941 Upsalz'te would not have been possible. Feverish are the two weeks before the printer,s deadline. But-miracle of miracles! the work is done. And this year,s book Will be as good as last year,s--or so we hope. Eigny-five

VIRGINIA FINNEY Editor-in-Cbief ALLAN RAMSTEAD Busintsx Manager In every college the most ambitious under- taking is probably the yearbook. 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.

The president has just closed the discus- sion of all old, new and irrelevant business. And now for the report, please. Labor Unions is the topic for the evening, even though Bob Banks did try to change it at the last minute to women,s hats. Everyone is anxious for the fireworks.

Zelnick and Sorenson almost come to blows over the privilege of striking during emergency times. Dr. Calman and Professor Arnold politely voice their opinions and are immediately at- tacked by Misses Anderson, Boschen and Doyle. The member at whose home all of this is happening calls a truce--for refreshments-e but by the time coffee is served Degler and Doc are already at it again. Oh well! Besides these boisterous meetings the group takes interesting trips. This year it Visited Vineland State Hospital, and sat in on a clinical study of some of the patients. Later on it went to New York to join in the discussion of the Town Hall of the Air. The Economics Club is invaluable in help-
