RESHOLD - Seventy Years Young And Dying? HAPPY BIRTHDAY THRESHOLD! SEVENTY YEARS YOUNG AND DYING? Welcome, loyal yearbook supporters, to at may be your last Hurray. Western Michi- n University's yearbook the THRESHOLD rmerly the BROWN AND GOLDJ this year ebrates its seventieth year of publication, 06 to 19751. Unfortunately, it may be our t. Western's THRESHOLD appears at this int to be the victim of a severe case of year- euthanasia. We are being put out of our with what amounts to a pocketxveto by administration. We have been advised not X: g M.: I an ogy,-' 1 ' PK x WHA L, ,1 lf 3 h .A A , ,P 1 vgig, .fi . , il! ' ' uv !. l' .pr A iff--,A iv if . D . I., J -1 , fi 5 'L X, A 'Q Tll' .R , ,....,,,,s I Q .

When a yearbook staff cannot keep the ball rolling by making plans and preparing for the next edition as soon as one is finished, the rhythm is interrupted, staffers depart for lack of activity and insecurity about the book's fu- ture. Soon we will be finished with this book, and when we are gone there will be no one left behind appointed to carry on our task. The administration need do nothing but leave us in limbo, and it will be too late for THRESHOLD 1976, and much easier to forget us all together. And what a year for Western to try being without a yearbook. The one year in a century that history is one of the paramount concerns of the nation, when everyone will be experienc- ing their lives and country in the special light of its bicentennial celebration. And Western will lose it. 0h, they'l1 experience it. It'll be a Wonderful year for all involved, with memora- ble events filling every calendar. And when its over, it will be just that 5 over, and we won't be here to bring it back for you. I can't think of a
