-Daily-David Arnold
PEACE, IT'S WONDERFUL-Responsibility behind him, the signatory of Michigan Daily critic
sheets tilts back his chair, rest his feet on the desk, and luxuriates instead of infuriates. With the
passing of Daily City Editor VGN, Vern Nahrgang can contemplate red pencils, typographical errors
and misquoted professors with an amused grin, and the simple comment, "Curious!"
Little pieces of obscure inf or-
mation such as this are stored in
VGN's brain, to be used at appro-
priate times-and even inappro-
priate times.j
As city editor, VGN is extremelyl
efficient. His is the only neat desk'
in the Senior Editorial office. Four'
tacks are used to put up all the
notices to the staff and his mar-
gins are always precise.
Even his books are arranged
between book-ends according to
size and shape. Because of his
fanaticism for neatness, VGN has
been given the title of "this year's
oddball" on The Daily staff.
But inspite of these idiosyncra-
sies, or perhaps because of them,
VGN has earned the respect of his
co-workers.
"He might shout at a tryout one
day," a fellow Senior Editor re-
marked, "but the next day he
renews the berated fellow's confi-
dence."
There's an old saw held by the
Student Publications people that
city editors are intensely disliked
by one and all-that is, until they,
leave office in the spring.
And here VGN is no exception.
He was duly warned about this by
last year's city editor, "Little
Caesar" Lee Marks, so VGN made
it a point to be intensely disliked
by the lower staff during his
reign.
System Beaten
"After all," he would says, lift-
ing his right eyebrow, "that's the
only way they'll do any work for
you. Indiscriminate ise of the
eyebrow trick earned VGN his
name in Michigamua, senior men's
honorary, of which he was a mem-
ber.
VGN sarcastically wended his
way through an entire year, bark-
ing, giving orders and lifting eye-
brows. Now the inevitable has
happened. VGN has become a
proverbial "has-been" and The
Daily staff members have actually
proferred affection toward him.
Reciprocal Friendliness
VGN doesn't quite know how to
take it, but he grudgingly accepts
it, and as soon as their backs are
turned, shoots them with his squirt
gun. This is his way of returning
friendliness.
David Kessel, Grad., a member
of Student Government Council
and friend of VGN, once remarked
in passing, "If this country ever
turns to a monocratic form of
government, VGN will rise to the
occasion."
Though VGN is popularly known
as somewhat of a miser, he s al-
ways ready to buy cokes for a
select group of friends-when he's
in a good mood.
Janet Neary, '58. retired SGC
officer, once commented, "VGN is.
one of my better friends-he buys
me cokes." She would then shake
her coke a little, take a gulp andj
add quickly, "But I'd like him any-
way-even if he didn't buy me
cokes."
But then, Daily cokes are cam-
pus phenomenon; they only cost
a nickel.
Lately VGN has been practicing
his British accent. Come next
September, he will be attending
the University of London on the
Alumni Student Leader Exchange
Fellowship and he has been pre-
paring himself to rise to the occa-
sion.
