'Technic'
Magazine Called
'EngineBible'
The Michigan Technic, fondly
known around engineering circles
as the "Engineer's Bible," is pub-
lished once a month by students
of the College of Engineering.
Featured in its pages are scien-
tific articles and stories on engin-
eering experiments and work by
graduate students, as well as go-
ings-on of the school.
FACULTY MEMBERS and En-
gineering alumni often write for
the magazine, which is the oldest
publication on campus and also
the father of engineering college
magazines.
Editing, photography, leg work
and ad selling are done by a staff
of engineers.
Technic managers for next year
are: Lex Herrin, '50E, editor-in-
chief; Harvey Schatz, '50E, man-
aging editor; Dick Humes, '50E,
associate editor; and Bob Giglio,
'50BAd, business manager.
ONE OF THE FEW college en-
gineering magazines in the coun-
try that is financially indepen-
dent, the Technic has received
many top awards in the annual
Engineering College Magazines
Association Competition.
With at least nine copies fat-
ed to come off the presses this
year, the editors hope to prove
beyond a doubt, that engineers
are literate.
One of the more familiar sights
on campus last year was the make-
shift booth which graced the en-
trance to the Engineering Arch
whenever the Technic went on
sale.
"A BOOTH LIKE that really be-
longs behind a farmhouse," one
passer-by was heard to comment.
But members of the Technic
staff paid no heed and remained
deeply attached to their weak
excuse for a magazine stand.
But in the middle of the year
tragedy struck, as the booth dis-
appeared, abducted by mysterious
robbers. Engineering stalwarts of
the long-standing Engineer-Law-
yer feud reported that -several law
books were found at the scene of
the crime.

Studying Like Mad!
IDLE STUDENTS-Students with nothing to do before finals
-settle down for an afternoon of study at the library. The first coed

1950 Yearbook
To Be 500 Pages
"Put your order in early for the
1950 Michiganensian yearbook, if
you want to be sure of getting
one."
That is the advice of Ensian
Managing Editor Jeanne Johnson,
'50, as she and the annual staff
begin their duties.
ADDITIONAL SPACE in 1950's
proposed super - large, 500 - page
book will be devoted to more sports
pictures and better coverage of
University activities, Miss John-
son reports.
Appointments for senior pic-
tures may be made during the
first week of school with the ac-
tual photography scheduled for
the initial three weeks of Octo-
ber.
Assisting Miss Johnson on the
Editorial Staff are Associate Edi-
tors Pete Craighead and Lynn Gu-
tenberg, Art Director Barbara
Henry, and Photography Chair-
man Bud Rauner.
EDITORS IN CHARGE of the
book's six subdivisions are Martie
Armstrong, Features; Dick Mc-
Williams and George Gilooly,
tennberg Art Director Barbara
Sally Mitts, Senior Pictures;
Jeanne Schreider, Schools and
Colleges; - Pat McLean and Don
Sigman, Organizations; and aPul-
ine Kleckner, House Groups.
First appearing in 1897, the
Michiganensian has been going
strong ever since. Originally sell-
ing for one dollar, the first book
was a joint work by members of
three then-existing magazine
staffs on the campus-Literary
and Engineering, Law and In-
dependent. Members of the Law
School Magazine suggested the
merger into a single, all-campus
issue.
Although not very successful in
the beginning, the combined year-
book soon caught the students'
fancy and began making money.

Daily Seeks New Staffers

Gargoyle (humor magazine
since 1906), "will continue pub-
lication this fall," Garg editors
announced from Eastern Somali-
land, where they had taken up
temporary headquarters.
Meanwhile, in Ann Arbor stu-
dents continued riots that had
disrupted campus life for more
than six months.
* * *
ONCE AGAIN they stormed the
barricaded Garg offices in vain
attempts to get their twenty-five
cents back. Inside, fearful Garg
writers huddled together hoping
to devise some means to escape
students.
Frantic University officials
failed to restore order as their
last platoon of special police
were cut to typewriter ribbons.
Students milling about carried
placards: "We don't want six Gar-
goyles each year."
AND "FOUR OUT of five girls
are beautiful and the fifth goes
to Michigan and works on the
Gargoyle."
But the latest word from So-
maliland which came in on the
leg of a very bald eagle was that
editor Brian Duff is grimly de-
termined to publish despite "hell
and high halfbacks!"
He said the Gargoyle would
continue to print renewed and
guaranteed jokes, short fairy tales
and cartoons.

HE HOPED the magazine would
win for the second year the prized
Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks Award
for being outstanding-in the rain.
The reward is sent in a small
bundle containing $100,000,000 in
gold bullion and an Orphan Annie
Magic Decoder Whistle.
Gargers also anticipate a year
unparalleled in campus history
since 1928, when the business
manager, a woman, had an af-
fair with a Chimpanzee.
It (the affair) was luridly de-
scribed in serial form under the
title, "Untouched by Human
Hands."
