Being just the opposite of my editor, I decided to work at day and sleep at night. The staff would be surprised to find just how quiet and conducive to wOI-k the office can be on Saturday mornings. Except for an occasional vIsItor, or the twanging- of Mrs. Mac's bell in the College Inn, J worked undisturbed at these odd hours. A young- executive eag-er to buy, a middle-aged lady who related the story of her life, a former Petit Jean business manager, and the Christian businessman are only a few of the wonderful Searcy merchants who made my year as business manager the most g-ratifying of my college years. Despite long hours, toilsome activities and the pizzas I financed, I admit that I have enjoyed every minute.

Putting organic chemistry second-Pat Lyon and John Lewis, our photographers who gave their daytime, nighttime, datetime. Purple streaks infiltrate the inky sky. We pick up yellow copy paper scattered over the office and carry Coke bottles down. As I lock the student center door and head for breakfast, I realize that we have not captured the unique, but have experienced it. Ann Camp
