Galle noted that extracurricular experience and participation-a category into Which the 'Ensian falls-is vital for a full life at the} University. It is necessary for Veshmen to become active in campus organizations similar to the 'Ensian so they can "broaden their career here with educational and rewarding experiences." In a university where the main emphasis seems to be on getting through 'undergraduate school" s quickly and cheaply as pos- which college life should provide are lost, Galle said. Diversity runs in the same direction, be- cause nobody has any different experiences to reinterpret," Galle said. Again, the diverse groups at the University initiate protests and provide a variety of experiences. The suggestion of red tape was lso a P rm of protest against the University bureaucracy.. Galle explained that the 1963 yearbook underwent r a d i c a 1 change from previous years and that the 1966 yearbook would be a departure from the last three years. Before 1963, yearbooks con- tained group pictures of almost every club and organization on campus, Galle said. As the Uni-I versity grew, the yearbooks got larger and larger until in 1962 the Commenting on subjects raig- ing from automation to oceano- graphy, the Michigan Technic is a monthly magazine written and edited by students in the engineer- ing school. The Technic enjoys the dis-' tinction of being one of the oldest engineering college magazines as well as the only student publica- tion at the University not re- sponsible to the Board in Control of Student Publications. Next fall will mark the Technic's 84th year of publication. The magazine is responsible to the dean of the engineering school. Originally the Technic was a technical journal designed to ap- peal to professors. It has grad- ually evolved into a magazine which is less technical and ap- peals to, students. According to Richard Donnelly, '66E, managing editor of the Technic, future plans include ex- panding coverage and readership to the pharmacy college and science majors in the literary col- lege. "In general the entire staff of the Technic is composed of en- gineering students," Donnelly said. "We also try to print only articles' written by students. This year, with the exception of the first issue, only student articles were printed." Occasionally if a profes- sor has, written an interesting ar- ticle; -the Technic, prints it, Don- nelly said. According to L. Karl Legatski, '66E, Editor of the Technic, one of the biggest problems is un- steady writing sources. It's diffi- cult for an undergraduate to write an authoritative article-its like a term paper," he explained. The Technic is an interesting place to work for numerous rea- sons, Donnelly explained. Not only does it give a student an oppor- tunity to meet faculty members and deans in the engineering school but it also is an asset when he interviews for a job. Donnelly also explained that it gives the student a creative outlet which is not ordinarily provided in the engineering curriculum.

The 'Ensian staff is set up on three levels. The senior editors, while not all of senior academic standing, are selected through a petitioning process. Graduating senior editors make recommenda- tions to the Board in Control of Student Publications which makes the final appointments. Senior editors provide a skeleton plan which is expanded and im- plemented by the understaff. The junior editors form the backbone of the staff.

Students CANNED HUMOR: Gargoyle--Campus Neophyte :4 1 Gargoyle, the student humor magazine, is a neophyte among the student publications of the University. The original Gargoyle was ban- ned from the campus several Oears ago because of its alleged obscenity, and the present, ver- sion is only three years old. Contrasting to the subtlety of the old Gargoyle, the new one tries to make sure that no one misses the point. As, a former Gargoyle editor said, "I don't 'ink that sophisticated humor wouldgo on this campus because we still have undergraduates. You could print New Yorkers and you would not sell any more - copies than Generation (a campus lit- erary magazine) does. Besides, the kids here do not know the people round who could be satirized." 55 People- About 55 people work on the Garg business staff, the art staff and the editorial staff. Each age has its social critics. Standing among Dickens, Norris and Sinclair, is Gargoyle. Or so its editors assert. Spoofing the conventions and products of our time, the Gargoyle MICHIGAN'S Wolverines - Michigan's famous Marching Band-The Victors- State Street-TheLeague-The Union -all, are great traditions of a,,great University. GREEN E'S CLEANERS is a tradition, too. For forty-one years GREENE'S CLEANERS have Even The Garg Can't Amuse Everybody comes out three or four times a year fromn a chaotic office in the Student Publications Building, 410 Maynard. Last. year Garg came out in forms such as Tyme-the Weekly The Student Directory - Reflects Man's Spirit The 1965-66 Student Directory, scheduled for publication in early October, has a listing of every student in the University. The directory is published *,rough the facilities of the Board in Control of Student Pub- lications and prepared by the cam- pus chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, the national service fraternity.. It contains the name, local and home address, telephone number nd class of everyone registered t the University. The directory is compiled from registration- naires which Alpha Phi Omega re-, ceives from the administration shortly after school begins. Work has already begun 1h soliciting advertising - to finance the directory. Almost $4000 'will e required for publication of the fall and winter installments. The true qualities and spirit of the Student Directory were per- haps best captured by Richard Pollinger in his review of the 1964 directory: The Western world has waited long time for a work which might truly, yet completely, cap- ture the spirit of mankind; the Student Directory is a dazzling capstone to the literary arch which sits astride the- stream of humanity passing through it and attempt, struggled against an im- perfect system. The Student Directory sweeps across the complete scope of hu- manity-a nearly random sample of the world, achieving nearly complete ambiguity. Let there be no doubt about it, the Directory is not an easy book to read, but it is the book of life, and nature does not easily yield up her se- crets unto lazy students. Deceptively purporting simply to list its characters alphabetical-' ly, the Directory embodies the most perfect symmetry of hu- mnan experience ever achieved. And there is no dialogue, that old dis- torter of experience-the reader communicates directly with the meaning,. There are a few subtle guide- lines for the novice readers of our generation, but with what ele- gance and persuasion do they operate! Notico, for instance, the change in type size between Ron- ald Davis and Samuel Davis: type jsize indeed! And the book is not without its private jokes ,either: look at the pace of "Lowrie ... Lu ... Lubin . . . Lucarelli." Or the charming turn-around in late reg-' istration: Averbach ... Baar-... Ackes ... Baehr." The lapse into argot in the ad- News magazine, and as a Univer- sity orientation folder. Aside from these issues-wide strokes of sa- tire- theGarg features reprints from a 1960 "Readers Digest" de- partment which boastedsuch ar- ticles' as "Those funny cannibals:. the Shandu," "Let's ask the Rab- bits about Sex," "New Hope for the Dead," "The most Unintellig- ible Character I've Met" and "My Dog showed me the way to God." The "Garg" combines cartoons, photographs, mock games, inter- cepted letters and essays into a, spotty kind of humor that aims at conditions on campus, but sometimes slips over to wider is- sues. Where in earlier years most of the jokes were common knowledge or stolen from other campus hu- mor magazines, in the past year Garg came up with more original: material. Often the most hilarious aspect of the Garg has been its adver- tisements. These are almost al- ways done in a humorous motif and when contrasted against the normal' advertisements of the same merchants, do crack the hu- mor barrier occasionally. Many have claimed, however, that the Gargoyle has fallen back into old habits of pornography. However; it is evident that the infractions were not as serious as in the past. The evidence is that the Gargoyle is still around. Last year the Gargoyle was' a. fair financial success, as it has been since its rebirth. In fact, some issues were exported to (and sold out at) Michigan State.
