grams for its members.
Each day's edition of The Daily
is prepared for publication by a
junior staff of night editors and
assistant night editors. They have
the responsibility of deciding what
articles will appear, on what page

Within the pages of the Uni-
versity yearbook, the Michigan-
ensian, is contained a complete
permanent record of the -chool
year.
Within its covers are scenes of
crowded corridors between classes
the thrills accompanying an invi-
tation to pledge and the excite-
ment of a winning touchdown.
However, the Ensian consists
of a great deal more than photo-
graphs. Its copy ranges from,
frank criticism to nostalgia.
Full Year Job
Editors will vouch for the fact
that the editing of the Ensian is
a full year proposition..
Its senior editors are .appoint-
ed each spring by the Board in
Control of Student Publications
for the production of the follow-
ing year's book.
Preliminary planning occurs
during the spring and summer.
However, the greatest amount of
work is done during the school
year.
Shortly after classes begin, the
Ensian issues its call for tryouts.
The tryout program is designed
for anyone, regardless of experi-
ence, who is interested In learn-
ing and has a willingness to work.
If a student begins as a fresh-
man or sophomore he can gradu-
ally work up to a junior or senior
editorial position.
During the year the editorial
staff is busy in the preparation of
the, Ensian for publication. Copy
and photographs must be as-
sembled, typing must be done and
designing and layout completed.
Meanwhile, the business staff
is busy with the financial side of
the yearbook. In the fall, sales-
men stationed. strategic aly
around campus. and dormitory
representatives solicit for sub-
scriptions.
The business- staff is also re-
sponsible for keeping the books
up to date, making contracts and
soliciting for advertising.
Issued In May
Finally, just in time to distract
students busily studying for final
examinations, the Ensian arrives
from the publishing company.
Students crowd the Publications
building waiting to pick up their
copies and members of the Ensian
staff relax and experience a sense
of satisfaction and relief that
comes from seeing a finished job
well done.
