Forbear the eloquent insanity each day leaking from 211B. The intellectual brawls, ten liberals versus two conservatives over one Scout editorial is clangorous but not in vain. Legend pains, though obnoxiously frustrating, will, in the end, produce something. Beneath appearances, Scout production schedules and 25 per cent of total pages Legend deadlines roll by. Scout originates in the journalism classes, the students therein are reporters. Scout staffs job is born of journalism-student-written copy which must be read, laughed at, Coften applaudedl, edited, typed, re-edited, and finally okayed. The staffs job is not done until the printers' galleys have been Crelproofed, articles have been pasted up in at least five different ways, and page proofs acknowledged with silent curses. Summertime and the shapeless ideas come easy. An imaginary yearbook comes into being, but its fruition is tossed to the dim distant deadlines. But too soon the deadlines are upon us. N o longer is there time to cement the summeris heroic ideas with final page plans. Time's unrelenting prods are augmented by yearbook company representative Paul Retrum's driving voltages. Ideas corne, ideas go-it is the property of true genius to disturb all settled ideas. s 1 1 Q, it NW SCOUT STAFF-Front Row: B. Morse, L. Roberts, D. Ramage, C. Pickering, C. Hindrnan. Row 2: C.

IW' Devise, witg write, pen, for I am for whole volumes in folio. William Shakespeare . -it ,, y To have thoughts immortalized by print completes a pre- carious communication between the writer and an unknown, wanted reader. A poem read by hundreds is an acknowl- edgement of the author's very soul, a never-spoken idea is silently expressed and at least partially understood. Folio is an attempt at acknowledgement. It is selective ac- knowledgement, to be sure, the staff must objectively select original works which best express cursive thoughts. Each manuscript is ruminated. The outstanding result in the annual anthology. Folio is not only a literary acknowledgement. Recognition of art objects is also an aim. Art of exceptional quality is photo- graphed and included.
